Even though I believe that it&#39;s a lot easier for some people to find time to exercise than it is for others, it&#39;s still an excuse. My biggest excuse however, is that I really really hate exercising. With a passion. <br />Also this post reminded me of a 750lbs patient that I was taking care of, who&#39;s family was making excuses and blaming all of us for their son&#39;s health issues. It was SO annoying! I wanted so badly to say, &quot;No, he&#39;s gonna die because he weighs more than half a ton, and it&#39;s your fault for not smacking that burger out of his hand 20 yrs ago.&quot;Tatianahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12499818862831336384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5664901773159356900.post-91787595826837687482012-01-24T21:05:02.422-05:002012-01-24T21:05:02.422-05:00Another post that speaks straight to my heart!

BUT, I sure as heck will get there. Right now I&#39;m about 85-90% .... just gotta break thru! <br /><br />Thanks for the encouragement! EVERYONE was once there. I appreciate your attitude on this. People who are all &quot;look at me now&quot; put a sour taste in my mouth. But you? You get it. And that&#39;s why you&#39;re so relatable to sooo many of us! Keep it up!

Right after I had Kendall I was just like, &quot;well I guess this is my new mom body&quot; and for 5-6 months I just dealt with it and did nothing to change. Then I hit the point where I said, &quot;heck no! i don&#39;t have to settle for THIS&quot; and I got motivated. Sure there are great tools out there to help us but at the end of the day WE did this.Shannon Dewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06532112640843820431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5664901773159356900.post-29015033747255415512012-01-24T14:27:35.313-05:002012-01-24T14:27:35.313-05:00Hit send too soon...my point of that comment was that we all make excuses, and that&#39;s the only thing that keep us down.Jesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17525087764266187574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5664901773159356900.post-72946127269985117062012-01-24T14:26:40.732-05:002012-01-24T14:26:40.732-05:00*slow clap*<br /><br />Truth . 100% truth. I have 4kids. Doc appts galore. An absentee husband. Part time work. Photography business. I haven&#39;t slept in years. And I get myself to the gym/outside to run at least 4 times a week.
