New Year Resolutions – Lose The Extra Pounds

Happy New Year 2011! Many people have made resolutions – how about you? Each year, people resolve to improve various aspects in their lives that range from their physical appearance to their emotional wellbeing. Popular resolutions include spending more time with loved ones, eating healthy, and most notably – shedding the extra pounds.

Unfortunately, many of these resolutions fail and never make it through. People can be hasty at times and make unrealistic plans that are doomed to fail from the start. Fret not, because in this article, we aim to share with you various proven methods of how to keep to your New Year Resolution of losing weight!

The 3 Golden Tips to achieving your Weight Loss Resolution

      1) Planning a realistic strategy

Healthy dieting and proper eating habits have always been the recommended standards for losing weight naturally. However, a strategy that emphasizes on speedy results without allowing sufficient time for execution usually ends in failure.

For instance: If you have not been exercising frequently and you decide to start your exercise regime, you should avoid a drastic change to your routine activities. As the adage goes, old habits die hard and change should always be gradual.

If you have not been working hard for extended periods, start off with 2 light jogs weekly and over a span of a month’s time – increase the frequency to 4 to 5 times weekly and adjust the physical intensity accordingly.

      2) Keeping to your strategy

A plan can only be useful if there is execution. However, self-discipline is often cited as the most common factor where resolutions give way to apparent laziness. Most successful people, however, report that self-discipline is not what they possess, but rather what they naturally utilize and make use to accomplish what they have set out to.

Research also shows that men tend to achieve their New Year resolutions more, as they set smaller measurable goals that precede the bigger plan in mind. For instance, losing half a kilogram a week beats an ambiguous goal of simply stating ‘lose weight’. Also, women succeeded more when they made their goals public and had support from friends.

  

           3) Enjoy your favourite foods

Total abstinence from your favourite foods will most likely result in rebound eating. Instead of omitting your favourite foods altogether, continue to enjoy your food. Do it the right way  – in moderation. Buy a smaller portion of your favourite candies instead of an entire box. The occasional treat should always be available and acceptable as long as there is moderation.

Last but not least, we hope this article renews your drive in setting a measurable and achievable New Year Resolution. Start slow, move steady and finish gracefully where you deserve to be!
