[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In OPs defense—yes sometimes it’s just a matter of making yourself do it. But there are people who have more time to work out than others. SAHP’s who belong to a gym with child care. SAHP’s who have kids in school full time. Part time working parents (that’s me) can do it at the times they’re not working.

And unless you have enough money to shop exclusively at Whole Foods, eating healthy often means cooking from scratch, chopping and prepping foods in advance. So if the op works crazy hours plus has to schlep kids places in the evenings—it can be hard to fit in cooking time. If you and your SO work a crazy work schedule, it really is hard to fit it all in.[/quote]

I am the first PP. Sure, there's plenty of SAHMs who have yours for the gym. But there's also MANY women who work and still fit it in and OP needs to be looking at them, not the SAHMs. The working moms who also deal with jobs and kids and busy schedules and commitments who still find time to work out. Because if she only focuses on the SAHMs, she gives herself the excuse not to do it. "Oh I don't have time like they do, ergo I can't be in shape." I'm a teacher, I work every day 8-4:30, get my kids and have to do the evening routine. Many nights I am at work until 8:00 for awards ceremonies, end of year events, sports, etc. you know what I do? Wake up at 4 am so I can drink coffee, lesson plan, then work out. I was up yesterday, Saturday, at 5 am so I could work out and get my house cleaned up before the holiday weekend. I'll do it again today. And trust me, these aren't superhuman feats. Just time management.  [/quote]
