How to stop making excuses for your weight
Keep a weight loss journal.
Research has shown that people attempting to lose weight do so with more long-term success when they record their actions in a journal. It allows them to have a sense of accountability and control over their bodies.
You can write in your journal before you take any physical steps to lose weight. Why do you want to lose weight? How will you combat defeatist thinking when things become difficult? How will you avoid making excuses? Record what meals and snacks you have and at what times of the day you have them.
