Here are my best obesity excuses:
- I don't have time
- I am too sick
- I am not sick; just fat
- I am too tired
- I am too sore from working out
- I need to sleep
- I still look good
- I am too weak
- I have no money for better food
- I have slow metabolism
- I have no money for a gym membership
- I don't understand
- I am in school now
- I have young kids now
- I have teenagers now
- All of my family is fat
- I am married to a jerk
- I am married to a fat person
- I am married to a thin person
- I still have a waist
- I don't know how to…
- I'm too stupid/weak/old to learn this new thing that other people can do
- This place is a mess
- I need to do 50 other things right now
- I can't think
- I don't know what to do next
- I can still work out
- I don't know which choice to make
- I'm not fat enough yet
- I can't concentrate
- I'm starting to freak out
- It's almost Christmas/New Year's/Easter/Memorial Day/Forth of July/Labor Day/Halloween/Thanksgiving and I have to eat a lot then
- I like bad food too much to stop eating it
- I hate healthy food so I cannot eat it
- I have big bones
- I can still use a normal seat belt
- I don't know what to do
- Something else better has come up
- I'm bored with this project
- I don't think this project will work
- I don't think this project is worth the time and effort
And my very best excuse:
"I can't do that"
It's an all-purpose, general excuse, that works against any goal you set for yourself. It requires no explanation:
I can't - so don't ask me anything else.
Really. I can't. I'm done.
I can't.
I can’t.
I can’t.
No one can argue because there is no reason but your own limit on yourself.

You just read an excerpt of one of my books on Amazon. It is all about excuses for obesity. You can tell this by the title.
It used to be called I Hate Obesity Excuses and showed me fat on the cover. Because I already lost my weight and my books are about you.
People hated the title and so I changed it.
Then people wanted to see my thin self on the cover and so I changed it.
But it still does not sell well and everyone is still fat, so I need to get over my excuses and do better.
My post is for the #freewrite daily challenge by 
@mariannewest. Freewrite is a great way to post on steemit when you do not think you have the time, or talent, or anything to say. I know you can do this too! Here is Marianne’s freewrite prompt post for today. Give it a try and surprise yourself.
Today I did a five minute formatting and poster making session that was much longer than the time given. My excuses took a lifetime to write.
Yes, that is my obesity book. I will be so grateful if you go click around on Amazon, read Chapter One for free and if you buy it and review it, I will be thrilled.
