The time has come again to start making resolutions for the New Year. The number one resolution made, and broken, each year is to lose weight. Blogger Jackie Conn is taking a new approach to this cycle of negativity by encouraging people to get out there and do more of what they love instead. Instead of making a huge goal such as losing 10 pounds, try resolving to be active more often or sit less. Being less stressed can also help with weight, so tell yourself you will be more positive or take more time to yourself.
Key Takeaways:
- Resolutions to lose weight are often dead, but not forgotten, by the middle of January. That wouldn’t be a bad thing but the problem is that the diet is over but the guilt and self-flagellation for failing never stops.
- Guilt and negative thoughts about your body, your weight, and your failure (again) to get fit by losing weight are self-defeating.
- Enjoy occasional treats free from guilt and in balance and moderation – food choices do not reflect character or moral integrity
“Weight loss or diet resolutions are arguably made more often than any other New Year’s resolution….”
