Worst excuse for not trying

One of the lamest excuses I hear is when someone sees a fit celebrity and says, "Well if I had a personal trainer and full-time cook, I could look like that."

Don't hate. Get to library and teach yourself how to cook. Actually, the healthiest foods are simple to prepare because not much is actually done to the basic ingredients. Learn to love food in its most natural state.

As for the personal trainer excuse, search for a good exercise program, find some activity you like and get to it. Push yourself and keep an exercise journal if you need accountability. You may never look like Matthew McConaughey or Demi Moore, but that's mostly because of genes.
