here is my list of excuses.
- i chase e enough, what more do i need to do? i'm tired!
- i will workout, it will be better, i'll be more motivated, WHEN we move out of this apartment and into our house with land.
- i just had a baby.
- i just had a baby die at birth.
- i had another miscarriage.
- i can eat all i want because i was sick so much with d. i have a lot to make up for!
- why get fit now if we are just going to have more babies?
- my bed is way more comfortable.
- j loves me no matter what.
- my thyroid puts up an extra challenge.
here is what i should think.
- i need to be a good example for e.
- i can't keep putting it off. why not get out and do it now?
- you did just have a baby...be kind to yourself.
- you did just lose a baby...be really kind to yourself.
- give yourself time to mourn.
- give your body what it needs...not more that it does!
- get fit so your pregnancies are easier!
- your bed will be even more comfortable after you push yourself!
- he does, but i should want to look good for him.
- it does, but my meds should help level it. it should stop me from trying.
what is stopping you?
I am a stressed new SAHM and feel like I have no help. So, instead of being honest and admitting I am not superwoman, I ate.
ReplyDeleteI have no energy and my excuse is that Jack isn't a good sleeper. But it is probably because I had such a poor diet and I wasn't drinking water or taking vitamins.
I even had a gym membership and only went twice bc I didn't schedule a babysitter.
I even Set up a family "biggest loser" from oct - dec, and i gained weight.
Sad.
Enough is enough.
I have no motivation. I skip meals, then binge eat at the next. Total guilt trip after. I have lost my baby weight, but I am setting a poor example for my family by eating and drinking poorly. I'm lazy. End of story. I shouldn't have any excuses.
ReplyDeleteI have no motivation, I say "3 kids make me tired" in reality they are easy and I am only tired because I have been lazy all day.
ReplyDeleteI say "we're going to have another, soon, why work now? It seems a waste"
I also say "Josh loves me no matter what"
I am up 25lbs from Killian's pregnancy, but only 35lbs from pre kids. So I've obviously done it before, I just need to do it now.
thank you for sharing your own struggles. i can totally relate! i was nodding my head to a lot of those!
ReplyDeleteWhen my excuses try to stop me, I always remind myself that I will NEVER regret working out, but I almost always regret not doing it. Do what you can to make it non-negotiable. Don't get up and say, "If I work out today," get up and say, "WHEN I work out today."
ReplyDeleteMy life is hard.. so I "deserve" to have no self control in this area. Eating what I want is my 'treat' for handling all the chaos...
ReplyDeleteBut see, it's NOT. It actually makes the chaos harder to handle.
I need a better relationship with food.
