0 Why Your New Year's Weight Loss Resolution Will End In Tears

By Howe Russ


If you're like most people, you probably start looking to learn how to lose weight at some stage between Christmas and New Years Day. You probably start promising yourself that this is the year where things are going to be different, the year you are finally going to lose some of that unwanted body fat you've been carrying around for too long.

So why does it never actually pan out like you plan?

This is a problem which affects millions of people, so if you have fallen victim to it in the past you can seek some reassurance in the fact that you are certainly not by yourself. January has become associated with joining a gym and many people do it purely because it's habit.

A lot of people who constantly set failed New Year's resolutions are looking for an instant fix to their problems. The first step of getting results is realizing that nothing will change overnight. January 1st will indeed come and go, you will still be required to put the work in during February, March and the later months.

This quick fix mentality is something which holds countless people back from seeing any good results with their diet and it's a cycle which can take years to break. If you've been setting end-of-year weight loss goals purely because it's January and you think it's what you're supposed to do, then you need to assess why you're actually trying to build a better body in the first place.

It doesn't make a difference what time or day it happens to be. If you decide you want to change your lifestyle you can begin taking action right now. Those who are serious enough to possess that type of mentality are the ones who tend to get superior results.

If you constantly base your fat loss attempt around the calendar you will never see any serious results. The principles of losing weight are quite simple and if you apply them in the middle of the week they'll work exactly the same as if you do it at the start of the year.

If you make a concerted effort to work at a small calorie deficit, combined with drinking plenty of water and eating small, regular meals you will see good results regardless of what time of year you start.

Rather than making excuses for why your latest diet failed and why you were unable to stick to it this time around, try looking at the facts. It's not that you don't know how to lose weight, it's that you probably aren't truly ready to commit to a lifestyle change at the moment.
