Happy New Year!
I was standing in the lineup for the cashier and as usual was checking out the magazines. 8 out of 10 magazines had something in the cover about losing weight and having this or that body, or better, a flat tummy in so many days.
It hit me, this is the New Year resolution of many. So is it their resolution or is this something they think they want to do because it’s everywhere!!!
I don’t understand! What is the big deal of losing weight? Wouldn’t it be easier to lose weight if there were not so much pressure on? Isn’t losing weight about getting healthier and happier?
So why so many people go on different diets and shakes and some unnatural meals and in the process poison their body to lose weight and get healthy?!!! Or make themselves and others miserable while trying so hard to lose weight and get happy!!!
And finally why most New Year resolutions don’t last more than two weeks?
For this one I think I have the answer! It’s just because the resolution itself is unrealistic. The resolution that fails, is just a wanna be dream not some thoughtful decision based on the person’s life style.
That is why I never have New Year resolution, just half a Year improvements. Every six months, I pick one or two things that I’m already doing and think it needs improvement and focus on that until it is a new habit. There is no timeline, and I didn’t pick something I wasn’t doing before, so it’s constant minor changes to my life. Guess what I never fail, the goal is achievable. And achievements are what happiness feed on.
Talking about losing weight, I think it should ot be a resolution or something, instead, we all should just decide to have a healthier and happier body and I do it without killing ourselves.
Happy New Year! Have Happy Healthy Year.
