"I have tried everything else.  I am destined to be overweight.  There is no use to

     try anymore."

"I spend my life taking care of others.  I do not have time to diet."

"I have no will power to diet."

"I am only 20 pounds overweight, it is not that serious."

"I have been eating healthy, but I still cannot reach my goal weight."

"I lost weight and was happy, but now I have gained it all back plus some."

"I am on so many medications and I have so many ailments that I will not be able to

     follow the weight loss program."

"I am overweight and I love who I am.  There is no need for me to be thin."

"My man does not like skinny women."

"I would lose weight if I would just exercise."

"I do exercise, but I am not losing weight."

"My man has me on the same diet and exercise program that he is on, but I am not

     losing weight."

"My sister can eat whatever she wants and not gain weight.  Why do I have to struggle

     with my weight?"

"I was not overweight until I turned 30 years old."

"I was not overweight until I had a baby."

"I was not overweight until I got on birth control."

"I want to be a single-digit woman -- so what?"
