5 Lies Weak People Tell Themselves About Losing Weight

Apr 26, 2025

When it comes to losing weight, most people don’t fail because they’re physically incapable – they fail because they’re mentally weak. That’s right, if you can’t lose weight – it’s because you’re mentally weak and lie to yourself. It’s time to break the cycle. Let’s get into this…

You know there’s no secret to losing weight, right? 

Sure, there are hacks – but when it comes right down to it – the equation is simple: eat less, move more. 

But people don’t want to take ownership of their food intake or exercise output – so, instead, they lie to themselves.

So, guess what? I’m calling it out.

If you’re not losing weight – it’s on YOU. Seriously, if you can’t lose weight – it’s not because you’ve got some “thyroid” issue…

It’s because you’re mentally weak. 

To be completely transparent – there are a lot of lies that people tell themselves to excuse their lack of weight loss. 

We’re going to go over the 5 lies these weak people tell themselves – and see if any sound familiar…

Because if you’re serious about leveling up – it’s time to kill the stories that are killing your progress.

“I’m Just Big-Boned.”

Congratulations, you’ve discovered your skeleton…

Newsflash: your bones aren’t the reason you’re carrying around 40 extra pounds of nachos and broken dreams… 

It’s your weak will. 

Everybody’s got bones – what matters is the armor you build around them.

Fat isn’t destiny… 

It’s a choice you either fuel or fight. If you want to shift your body composition from fat to lean then it comes down to one thing: 

Make better choices.

“I Don’t Have Time.”

You have time – you’re just wasting it.

Scrolling TikTok for 3 hours a day doesn’t magically get filed under “necessary life maintenance” – and odds are – you’re not riding a stationary bike while doing it. 

If you can binge-watch an entire season of Yellowstone but can’t find 45 minutes to train – you don’t have a scheduling problem – you have a priorities problem.

If you’re legit pressed for time – realize that ANYTHING you can do is better than nothing. Do some push ups a few times during the day, take a few laps around the office or maybe hit 10 hindu squats every hour. 

You can do something – you’re just choosing comfort over everything. 

You want to get better? 

Handle your business.

“It’s My Hormones.”

Sure, hormones matter… 

So does gravity.

But let’s be honest – most people crying “hormones” haven’t even given their body a fighting chance.

Clean up your diet. Train consistently. Sleep more than 4 hours a night.

If you’ve truly done all that and can’t lose weighta? THEN we can talk bloodwork.

Until then? That’s just another shield you’re hiding behind. You know it and we know it. 

“I’ll Start Monday.”

Ahhhh, the ol’ Monday start. “Monday” is the most abused word in fitness history – it’s the rallying cry of the uncommitted.

If you’re not willing to start TODAY – in fact, EFF that, – start right now, then you’re lying to yourself about how bad you want it.

The reality is this: If the fire isn’t burning today – it won’t magically ignite next week.

Move now or move never.

As always, the choice is YOURs. 

“I’m Happy the Way I Am.”

Look – confidence is beautiful…

BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHA – I can’t believe I said that outloud. 

I mean, I get it, confidence IS important to have – but there’s a massive difference between loving yourself and lying to yourself.

If you wake up every day tired, sore, sluggish, ashamed to take your shirt off, dodging mirrors – guess what?

You’re not happy.

You’re settling.

And deep down, you know you’re meant for more.

They Fail Because They’re Mentally Weak

The difference between winners and wishers? 

Brutal honesty.

You can’t conquer what you’re not willing to confront.

The body you want? The energy you crave? The life you KNOW you’re capable of living?

It’s all on the other side of killing these lies. So? Quit fighting the truth.

Nobody’s coming to save you.

Nobody’s going to do the reps, prep the meals or push you when you don’t want to hit the gym.

You want it? You take it. Period

End of f**cking story.
