New Year's Resolutions

Are you starting to make a list of your New Year’s resolutions?  While we can make changes any time, many people use the beginning of the New Year to change their life for the better.  

Weight loss is often at the top of everyone’s New Year’s resolution list, but many people do not have a plan as to how they’re going to lose the weight.  Once a long-term goal is set, it is important to have short-term goals to help you reach your long-term goal.  Consider why you want to lose weight?  Are you ready to make long-term lifestyle changes?  Some of the changes may be initially uncomfortable.  Do you have the support from others to help you implement changes?  Surround yourself with people who will help you reach your goal(s).  Do you have a plan?  Create a plan yourself or enlist help from others and then keep track of how you’re doing.  Pat yourself on the back when you reach a goal – regardless of how small – it’s progress!

Setting yourself up for success will give you an advantage to reach your goals!  The beginning of change is like a new relationship – it is new and exciting.  As any relationship progresses it takes work and commitment!   Achieving your weight loss goal will take considerable effort and commitment – don’t give up! 

 HAPPY NEW YEAR!
