We all know how the saying goes: Excuses are like a**ho!#s; everyone has one. And you know what? Truer (curse) words have never been spoken.
I’ll start my diet next Monday because this week I have a wedding to go to… I can’t stay on a diet because I don’t have time to cook… I don’t have time to work out… I can’t start eating healthy because my husband likes to eat steak every night for dinner…
According to our research, the top dieting excuse of all time is “I just can’t resist my favorite foods.” Makes sense. I personally know of at least one dieting attempt of my own that reached its breaking point over an ooey, gooey, cheesy, greasy pizza meltdown. And I’m quite sure that plenty other diets out there met their match because of cake, chocolate, Alfredo sauce or Coca-Cola.
And as far as putting off starting a diet, that’s a whole other sack of excuses. Procrastination is an art form, and dieting is something that is all too easy to put off until “next week” or “next month” or “after I eat all the un-diet food in the pantry so it’s not wasted.”
Well, like the caring, helpful, encouraging people that we are here at eDiets, our experts are coming to your rescue! Our experts Pam (nutrition) and Raphael (fitness) are looking for the Top-10 List of Excuses you have for not starting or following through with a diet. They’ll be checking this blog and compiling the most popular excuses out there, and then — and here’s where it gets good — they’re going to come up with some sure-fire solutions to bust through all of them!
So help yourself and all your fellow dieters out, and comment below with your personal dieting excuses. And don’t be shy about it, because like we said at the beginning, we know you have one… :)
