New Years Diet Up in Smoke Already?
Almost everyone who ever had a little extra weight on them than they personally preferred, resolved to end the weight gain fluctuation this new years, and most likely went on a diet to rid themselves of excess poundage. Losing weight, exercising, and just being healthier are one of the top new years resolutions that we all know of. In fact, it was one of mine, although, not at the top of my list (the top of my list was to start saving more money and stop wasting it on stupid things).
So why do I always see about double the people in the gym for the first week or two of the new year, and then it just suddenly fizzles, as if all these new years resolutioners just decide that they really didn’t want to become more physically fit all of the sudden, and just cancelled their gym membership out of hopelessness.
Well, part of the reason new years diets seem to go up in smoke so fast is that most people make this same resolution every year, and they genuinely have the intent to stick to it also. The problem comes in when they realize that life still comes with its same challenges, and that they must still take the time to do everything else in their life that demands daily attention.
Also, the pressure to eat badly comes in to play when fast food becomes more appealing as time crunches start to enter the picture again. Work schedules resume their normal, grueling pace after a certain time, and life is back to normal - along with everyone’s eating habits - for the better or worse.
