Why Over 80% Of New Year Resolutions To Lose Weight Fail Within One Month

By Howe Russ


It's that time of year again when everybody makes resolutions to lose weight. For most people this year's resolution will end just like the last one did, with no progress being made despite the best intentions in the world. Most people who attempt diet plans in January don't know how to lose weight and, as a result, they fail to get started before the wheels have fallen off.

Let's look at why people find it difficult to get lasting results.

Over the years, January has become the month where gym memberships soar in popularity and most of those memberships don't last the year despite people having good intentions when they initially take them out. If this situation sounds familiar to you, you can relax safe in the knowledge that it's certainly not something which has just affected you.

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's all just a way of comforting yourself, creating reasons which make it okay for you to fail. Your body doesn't really care whether it's the first of January or the twelve of February. Yet if you ask somebody to start their next diet on a Thursday you'll generally get a look of shock from them. Ultimately, if you're going to do it you'll do it.

Ultimately it's a ready-made excuse for you and you know it. If you are going to allow yourself to fail in your next diet routine purely because it's a Wednesday and you now need to wait until next Monday before you get back on your routine, you have become your own worst enemy. Dieting is the same no matter what day it happens to be.

Once you begin learning how to work at a slightly lower calorie intake than normal and begin adding other proven steps, such as regular meals and plenty of water, you will begin to see results.

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.
