Ten Reasons I Can't Lose Weight.

1. Because I won't commit to it.
2. Because I choose not to exercise my most important muscle, will power.
3. Because I like fake food more than real food: sour peaches rather than peaches with a pip, salami rather than a lean chicken breast, raspberry cheesecake yoghurt rather than low fat greek yoghurt with raspberries.
4. Because I have lovely, generous, amazing friends who shower me with sweet gifts (and then I eat them).
5. Because I shower myself with sweet gifts (and don't hesitate to eat them).
6. Because I haven't found an exercise I like (beside walking through England with a backpack, which is both a great exercise because you can still eat, and unsustainable).
7. Because I still think that eating makes me feel happy.
8. Because I have polycystic ovarian syndrome. I don't actually know if I do, but I do have a relative with it, a family history of diabetes, a fat tummy and hairs (two) on my big toes. I think I am clutching at straws.
9. Because tomorrow doesn't ever come—they were right about that.
10. Because I have high and mighty opinions about why its bad to eat low fat and sugar free things. I think I will maintain those forever though—I just have to avoid the other, high fact, high sugar extreme.
