Some people are able to take great ideas and turn them into inventions that can simplify our lives. They are problem solvers. Still other people specialize in inventing excuses that perpetuate problems that make their lives more complicated. Which kind of "inventor" are you?
Have you ever heard yourself say something like this: "I can't workout, because I live in an apartment and the noise will bother my neighbors. I'll be able to do it when I live in a house"? Or "I can't make a healthy meal for myself, because my kids won't eat it and I can't afford to buy two kinds of food"?
If these sound like things you might say, take a moment and rethink your attitude. Examine the excuses you've come up with that are preventing you from dieting and exercising — if you heard someone else say them, wouldn't you think they sounded ridiculous?
Put your brainpower into solving problems — not living with them! For example, get your kids excited about a brand-new recipe that's yummy — but that's also nutritious and low in fat. Or take your workout outside — maybe go for a run or take a brisk walk — or meet a friend at her place to work out to an exercise video.
Start thinking like the right kind of inventor! You'll be glad you did.
