How many times do we make the same resolutions year after year, the famous get healthy and lose weight resolutions. January 1st comes around and were all motivated to start eating right and exercising and slowly we lose a few pounds but then it starts getting harder and harder and then we give into temptation.
You have to remember just because you have had one slip up, like eating that chocolate cake or not exercising in a week, that doesn't mean you should give up. I know I've been there, beating myself up thinking well you messed it up this week you might as well start again after Valentines day.
Then springtime comes around okay let me try again, then summer and Christmas then, what it can't be time for my New Years resolution already. It just seems to spiral out of control and me being an emotional eater it especially happens when I am under stress.
Ask yourself a few tough questions:
What is you why?
Who are you doing this for and why do you want to lose weight? Being healthy is a life time commitment not a daily one. Do you really want to be on medication for the rest of your life? What about your family, are you going to be well enough to take care of them?
Healthy changes
When you take steps to change your life you will change you families lives, especially when you have young kids they are watching you, learning and copying what you do. When you exercise they want to exercise and the same goes for eating, you might have to use your imagination with kids, but in the long run it will be worth it.
All or nothing
Don't think all or nothing but think Monday is a new start. Just because your goals went a little off track doesn't mean your can't lose the weight. A good way to keep track of you goal is to keep a journal, it really keeps you on track and when you write things down you can reread it and figure out what you need to change and find out why you didn't workout or ate the wrong foods that day. Most of the time you will see a pattern and correct it.
Happy New Year
Best of luck with your resolutions, remember to think of losing weight as a lifelong journey. Love yourself and the process and don't forget to open your heart and mind to change.
