New Years Resolutions And Weight Loss - A Ruined Cause?
Have you got a new years weight loss resolution?
The main reason so many new years weight loss resolutions fail is that they are usually made due to the external optimism of making them on the new year. As if it were a required ritual of the special day, part of the ceremony of the holidays, just like hanging tinsel on the Christmas shrub.
To be successful a resolution needs to be internal. And while new years is just as good a day as virtually any to make one, making one just because it's new years is not. As a matter of fact, the tradition may with time have actually obstructed people success.
Why? Because according to some experts only 8% of New Year's Resolutions are accomplished. (I have no clue how they calculate that, but it sounds true somehow.)
The outcome is that we now have as a society developed a "Failure Syndrome" around the topic of New Year's resolutions. We expect to fail and sure enough, we do.
After I finally quit smoking cigarettes after more than 100 attempts that failed, my main obstacle became overcoming my habit of failure over the smoking habit. I ultimately succeeded when I devised a strategy aimed at staying quit a definitive period of time and then permitting myself to smoke cigarettes again, once I hit that limit. That took away, my sense that I was going to fail anyhow so I may as well have a cigarette now and get it over with.
At present I don't know if that will benefit anyone else, but it did for me.
The real key to setting a new years resolution weight loss, is not to focus on losing weight.
We have to think about resolutions not as wishes or even objectives.
We may wish we were thinner and more healthy. We may want to be x pounds, or even x pounds by a specific date. But the real solution is not on what we want. It's about how we are going to get there.
A resolution is not a "Want to," it's a "How To." What are we going to do to attain the desired effects?
Therefore it may be important to think about the steps to making a resolution for a short time.
First, we must come to a realization that something should change in our lives. The key once again is the first person, "we" meaning YOU.
Second, having accepted the need to make something happen, We (you) have to calculate what you will in fact need to do to achieve that something. The clearer you are on this "Plan" the better, but even a vague plan, if realistic and believable to the single person that matters is okay. (Incidentally, that's you again.)
Finally, the critical step is that you actually decide to do it. This is a decision - not a wish.
The resolution once made is fragile, like a newborn infant and needs nurture and care. In the beginning your own will power and commitment could be enough to sustain it and get you off to a start.
Your initial achievements can serve to encourage you to continue, but you need to see that success. And that indicates you need to monitor the progress. If you cannot measure it, it will be difficult to use that success to sustain your enthusiasm and commitment.
I hope you got the gist of this message, which is to appreciate that a resolution is not a wish, but nevertheless a plan.
I encourage you to think about your plan and how you will sustain it in the face of unavoidable occasional failure. Persistence is the key. Go for it.
