This week for the writer’s workshop I am going to be talking about a few reasons why I can’t lose weight. I know there a ton of reasons, but these are the ones that came to my mind first when I was writing this post. I also am well aware of what I am doing will cause me to gain weight or just make is so I can’t lose weight.
I had lost a ton of weight about six years or so ago, but I started a medication that made me put on tons of weight in a short period, and I haven’t lost all of it. Even though at times I have tried harder than other times I can’t see to get the weight off again. Here are a few reasons why I can’t lose weight.
- The first one is because I refuse to stop drinking Dr. Pepper. I have had to cut out so many other things out of my diet because of allergies or because of sensitivities to things like gluten. I know I would lose weight if I could do it out, but there is no way that will ever cut it out.
- The next reason is that I enjoy eating chips and fried foods. I love salty foods, and I would eat them for every meal if I could get away with it.
- Another is that I don’t work out, and I have the desire to start. I always say I can’t work out because of the Multiple Sclerosis, but it is just because I am lazy, and I don’t want to.
- I also know that I would lose weight if I had another job where I wasn’t sitting at a desk all day long and rarely leaving my desk. I used to help out in the warehouse when I was bored but because of the job I am training to do I am pretty much stuck at my desk all day.
- I also just sit around and watch tv on the weekends or read a book. For example, on Sunday I am lucky if I get over two thousand steps in. Most Sundays I only get about fifteen hundred steps. I know if I were more active I would lose weight. It also gets hard for me to do things because my sleep is terrible so by the time I get off work it is all I can do to go home take a bath and go to bed.
Those are five things that I know if I changed I would lose weight but as you can see I am not highly motivated to do any of them.
What is one reason you aren’t losing weight?

Visiting from the Writer’s Workshop. Seems like you have the whole weight thing figured out. I can understand you on some of the issues as I have weight problems myself and know that if I had a job where I did not sit all day (I’m a transcriptionist), and if I tried to get out and walk more it would be easier to lose. My brother-in-law had multiple sclerosis so I know how difficult that can be to live with. Thanks for sharing your struggles.
I started losing weight this past year – when I quit trying to do so. A big part of my success has been finding out that my thyroid was low. I also find that I crave salty foods less often (as well as fried foods) – chocolate and Coke Zero are my drugs of choice, foodwise.
My weight loss started when I started swimming – easier on the joints, and if I don’t feel like going full throttle, then I walk in the water and swim a bit less. I think if you can find an activity you like that gets you moving (and it’s fun, not like counting steps), that you may stick with it. Good luck – never give up!
I swear, sitting at a desk all day is a killer! You’re so mentally exhausted by the end of the day, the last thing you want to do is something active!
