Reasons You May Not be Losing Weight

1. You pay for lunch with your credit card. According to a Visa study people who pay with their credit cards spend 30% more on average than those who pay using cash.


2. You like too much meat


3. Eating at church functions


4. You dine in a group


5. Drinking diet soda isn't as good for you as you think


6. Marraige


7. You drive everywhere


8. You wear baggy clothes


9. Your friends are heavy


10. You rarely see the sun


I hadn't heard some of these before so I thought I would pass them along.

I can't believe marriage keeps the pounds on... I don't know why exactly ??  People should stay the same relative size as when they met their spouse, it's only fair :P  Driving is a big issue for me, so I make a point take my dog on a walk/bike ride everyday, even just throwing her ball around at the park burns calories.  Everyone has their bad habits, but its not worth keeping those bad habits if it's keeping you from losing weight/being fit.

I think it depends the kind of meat you eat.  Steaks are really healthy for you as long as they don't have a ton of fat on them.  Dried meat like beef jerkey is almost 100 percent fat free also.  ;)

I didn't know that steak was healthy for you...? I thought you were only supposed to eat red meat like 1 time a month. I think chicken is one of the best meat to eat..

I use my credit card a lot when I go to eat and I always order a little more because I feel stupid using my card if it costs less than $5. I should carry cash on me!!!

for a year one of my best friends was really big. And I felt like no matter how much I ate I'm still smaller than her so I didn't feel it when I got fat. And I gained about 14 pounds...
