Even after all the talks of "it’s what’s on the inside that counts", people are still judged on their appearance. So we come up with too many excuses why we’re overweight. People don’t want to hear this, but it’s very true - even some doctors are afraid to lay it on the line, but make it real and dump the excuses in the trash; Here are some reasons you're fat and why you'll probably stay fat.

1 ->
You’re Lazy. Plain and simple. The thought of exercising just makes you want another 200 calorie snack.

2 ->
Your job rules your life. Whether you’re a full-time mom or a business executive, you probably don’t have time to eat healthy. And you won't even think of trying to take it some.

3 ->
You have too much free time to spend eating. If you did more things rather than watch TV or sit at the computer chatting on facebook, maybe you could lose weight!

4 ->
You work from home and have a house full of goodies. The temptation is all around you. Doritos in the cabinet, cookies in the jar, ice cream in the freezer. Forget salad! And when you don't feel like working or waiting for time to pass by, you'll just make a short walk to the kitchen, as there is so much goin' on.

5 ->
You eat anger/depression away. You can’t help but hate the world, your job, your car, your kids, your friends, your boyfriend/girlfriend/spouse. Why not have another Oreo?

6 ->
Your friends are fat and they drag you down. They eat out a lot, they snack, they order pizza/chinese and invite you over. It’s inevitable to happen.

7 ->
Booze. Not only bad calories in drinks, think about the hunger binges you go on after a night out (pizza, burgers, etc.)

8 ->
You just don’t care about calories, fat content, carbs, you eat what you want or what is already prepaired at home.

9 ->
People are complete spoiled by on-demand everything. Food (drive-thru, delivery), TV (cable, internet). Even when people drive to the mall they spend many minutes looking to "score" the closest parking spot. Why not just park as far away as possible? Free workout? Walk to the store to buy the paper, instead of delivery. Etc. etc. etc.

There’s no simple way to stop a horrible habit. Fact is, you make goals and never follow through. It’s a bad character flaw and we have it and hate ourselves for it.

Don’t change your life style in order to be thin and conform. If you’re happy with who you are, stay that way and don’t let anyone pull you down. However, if you have health problems, you should think about some changes.

Take your problem one step at a time, attempt to eliminate the things that are causing you to be overweight, weak or unhappy. Moderate your intake of these fatty (yet delicious) foods and slowly adjust your body to different and better eating habits. Stop looking for immediate results. Work on permanent, long term and easier to maintain solutions instead. Make small steps which are easier to follow. Magic solutions in a book, bottle, or snappy device will not help. You should know, that changes will not come over the night and all the weight will come back sooner or later, if you won't make permanent changes in your life style and eating habits.

If there ever is a secret about being healthy and fit, it’s a mindset that you have to make your health a priority. You can hire someone to cook instead of you, you can hire someone to take care of your kids, you can even hire someone to drive you to work. But you can not hire someone to make you healthy!

Make your health a higher priority. Do you brush your teeth every day? That’s because you have made it a priority to have good oral health. Do you bath regularly? Well, you’ve made being clean a priority. You almost never let your life become so busy that you do not do those two things. Maybe you’ll skip one or two times, but you won't forget how to brush your teeth and as soon as you can, you'll brush them. Your physical health should be no different.

We call that lazy, but it really has to do with priority. Someone choose not to eat healthy foods, and choose not to incorporate exercise into his/her lifestyle, etc. Made it a priority to make your own lunch and add a 5 minutes exercise to your morning care. Different priorities will give you a different outcome.
