Excuses, excuses

Weight today: don't want to talk about it, but I'm still in the 13s, just!
Weight gain: bloody hell, afraid so, but let's not talk about it!

So last week I mentioned that I was running out of excuses.. So I thought you might like to hear them?

1. Pretty sure we all do this.
So your day is going just fine, when (for example) a colleague brings in cakes for the office. So you have one, one little cake, what harm can it do? Until your brain goes "I've had a cake, I've ruined my diet, I may as well eat that pie/ice cream/chocolate/chips/lasagne/garlic bread and start again tomorrow! This is moronic! A cake is one thing and an easy fix but then eating your body weight in more 'naughty' food is mental.

2. Wardrobe malfunction.
I have some really nice clothes that fit me now. If I lose weight it'll be such a shame that they'll be too big. This is another crazy one because I have loads of really lovely clothes that don't fit me because they're too small! And I'm sure I'd look better wearing nice clothes that fit me when I'm slim than wearing nice clothes that fit me now?? Quid pro quo!

3. It's that time of the month that I need chocolate.
So this one is very real. I might use my period as encouragement but I swear I 'need' the chocolate!

4. This one is totally mental.
So I think I've had a great week but when I step on the scales I've put ON weight! The hands go up and flail about and I stomp around and swear. FFS why bother? Diet isn't working I might as well just give up and eat chocolate! No one can think this is sane! Silly Gilly.

5. I've been on holiday.
I won't apologise for this one. I love my holidays and I refuse to watch what I eat when I'm there. I could be a little better behaved when I'm away e.g. Fruit cocktails instead of creamy ones, sandwich instead of pizza, more vegetables instead of chips. But, yeah, that ain't going to happen, ever!!

6. Waste not want not.
I need to get on plan but I've lots of (unhealthy) food to eat first. This is a bit of a con because I'm the one who went to the supermarket and bought the scrummy delicious, oops sorry - I mean unhealthy, food in the first place lol. But yeah, once it's bought I have to eat it, I could never throw it away just to start my diet again lol.

If you always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you've always got!
