Don’t Give Up on Your Goals–You Have Too Much to Lose

It’s been a month since the beginning of the year and that means many people have been working hard on their New Year’s resolution to lose those extra pounds. If you’re like most who make this resolution, then when looking at your results so far, you’re wondering if those early hours in the gym are worth it, or if passing on those potato chips is even working off your waistline.  Some may think that giving up is a better option because it’s too hard and the results aren’t good enough. If it is the latter, then this article will help you stick with your goals and accomplish your desired weight loss.

So many of us start a new year thinking that this year will be different than last year and that now is the time to do what we’ve tried to do so many times before. Why do we think this year is different? Why do we think things will be different and this time it will work?

If no answers come to mind, then here are two answers that might apply:

There is more to live for than the habits we can’t break. Most of us with this goal are concerned with our health and want to get control before our health gets too bad and we can’t do what we’ve always enjoyed. But it is those habits we love that are so hard to get rid of.  And breaking them isn’t an easy task. We’ve got to find something that we equally enjoy to replace them with. For example, if you are constantly on the road traveling and find that a bag of chips and a soda is what you grab for the trip then that’s a habit that has to be broken in order to lose weight. Try preparing for the trip ahead of time by packing good healthy snacks and a low calorie, low sugar drink (like water).  Don’t get caught without something to eat.  This will only cause quick trips into the gas station where it is really hard to find something healthy. Its little steps like this that will help you on your way to accomplishing your weight loss goals.

There are several diets out there that don’t require us to give up everything we love to eat. Diets out there range from cutting out all carbs to cutting out all sweets to eating lots of proteins. That’s a pretty wide range.  Most of these diets don’t seem to last long and any weight lost always seems to come back when that food is introduced back into our diets. Instead of trying those diets that haven’t worked in the past try eating the things you love to eat, but eat less and less. The most important thing with food and getting healthy is making sure that food doesn’t control our lives. That’s why we look this way in the first place. Take small steps. Don’t make drastic changes or commitments in the beginning. Start with something small like portion control and then add calorie counting, for example.  By making a lot of changes all at once will only set yourself up for failure.  Conquer the small goals first and then add on.

Don’t give up on your weight loss goals just yet—you have too much to lose. Try these simple solutions and feel better about your goals—and your accomplishments.
