2010 is history. It's the beginning of a new year. You have the same five reasons for not losing weight in 2011 that you had in 2010. They're great reasons. Hold on to them and use them again. They will keep you from getting to the gym this year, too.
1. I'm too busy to workout.
Most successful CEOs and all Military Generals work out regularly. 3 or 4 times per week, they're hitting the gym. Have you ever checked out the work schedule for one of these guys? It is crazy nonstop action. Yet, they always find time to workout. But, you are far busier. There's no way you have time to get to the gym.
2. It costs too much money.
Getting in shape can be expensive. Especially when you have to buy the latest internal cleansing products, fat burning pills, miracle weight loss pills, and all the other gimmicks. Of course, you can't get into shape without these products. And they are expensive. If you don't spend several hundred dollars each month on these supplements, you'll never get the body you want. And, since you can't afford to spend that much each month, you may as well not even try to get in shape. It's pointless without the supplements. It's not worth your time and effort to do free things, like jogging and body weight exercises.
3. I can't do it on my own and I have no one to support me.
People tend to become more and more those they are closest to and spend the most time with. This happens with families and with friends. For example, if you spend time with people who are financially successful, you tend to become as financially successful as they are. But, as your reasoning goes, this would never happen in the health and fitness arena. Being around healthy, fit friends wouldn't help you at all, even if you could find them. There's no way you can find people to work out with and hold you accountable. Not at work, not in your neighborhood, not via Facebook. It just won't work. You're all on your own. And, that makes it too hard.
4. My genes make it impossible for me to lose weight.
Don't believe the stories you read and hear about people, like entertainer Drew Carey, who have lost a lot of weight despite their genetics. It really can't be done. It simple isn't true that you can overcome a genetic predisposition by hard work and a clean diet. You shouldn't fight against what nature has given you. Just roll with it and accept it. You're going to be heavy and stay heavy. Living a healthy lifestyle can't help compensate for your genes.
5. I don't know enough about how to get to my ideal weight.
This is a good one. It might even be your favorite. There's no way you can take advantage of the dozens, or even hundreds, of workout and nutrition guides and programs available today. You can't write down your specific goals and review them each week. You can't keep a journal of what food you eat and evaluate it. You can't keep a log of your exercises and track your improvement over time. You just don't know enough.
Review these 5 reasons once again. Are these similar to the 5 reasons you actually use to justify to yourself that you are not getting in shape? Do any of them really hold water? They are really more excuses than reasons. Each of them can be easily overcome. It takes about 21 days to form a new habit. Start forming better fitness habits right now. Don't let yourself use the excuses above. Take action and you will get results.
