Why I am fat is a long sad story? It is drenched in self pity and laced with pathos. If anybody were to write the story of a fat girl/boy like me then it would be a bestseller...

Do not be surprised, these are exactly the excuses you give to yourself for being over weight. This is how ridiculous it sounds when you put down in writing. The causes of obesity are many but one of the biggest cause is laziness. This magnanimous cause of obesity unfortunately has no solution. But it has a cure and that is to break your self made myths about 'why I am fat'.

Here are some of the things you say to yourself to justify your laziness in not wanting to lose weight fast.

Why I Am Fat? Excuses:

1. It's Genetic: Excellent! If you cannot blame God or your destiny then just blame your genes. It is like the new scientific 'scapegoat' for losers. I am not pretty because of my genes. Why I am fat is because of my genes? These excuses are so that you have to do no workout; it fooling nobody other than yourself. It is not like the causes of obesity do not include genes but there is a way around it and that is regular exercises.

2. I Can't Diet; I Am Too Weak: Well the whole point is that you do not have to diet to lose weight. Crash diets are temporary and all the weight will come tumbling back. Everybody knows that by now. What you need to do is eat healthy and not give into cravings. Fill yourself with greens, it will surely not make you weak but it will take effort and discipline.

3. I Am Too Busy To Workout: Are you too busy to die? This is because that is what is going to happen to you soon enough. Many people have lost their lives to all the harmful effects of excess weight. If will make you sluggish and put pressure on your heart. Cholesterol will start clogging all your arteries by the time you are 40. This is not an alarmist's call to scare you. All we are saying is that if you find time to eat, sleep and bathe, then exercises should not be such a fight.

4. I Have Tried It All And It Doesn't Work: While this answer to the question, 'why I am fat' could have a vein of truth to it, in a majority of cases this is a cover up story so that you have to do no work out. If you have tried everything then have you tried it the right way? Dieting for example has to be accompanied by lifestyle changes. If it is really not working for you then you might have some specific problem like thyroid.

The excuses against workout that you give may be funny but their consequences are not. So start a new day without excuses.
