Starting A New Year Weight Loss Journey Part 6

Starting A New Year Weight Loss Journey Part 6


In today’s world, it seems like everyone has a New Year’s resolution they’re trying to keep up with. Resolutions are great, but if you don’t make them work for you, they won’t be worth anything. The truth is that resolutions don’t work unless you make them work for you and help you reach your goals. Instead of giving up or ignoring your resolution this year, create a new one that is more realistic for your life and something that can stick with you for the long term. Diets are typically the main thing people think of when it comes to losing weight.

Break the bad habits that are holding you back Starting A New Year Weight Loss Journey

When you’re trying to lose weight, you may find yourself trying to eat less or eat healthier, but you end up falling back into old habits because it doesn’t feel forced enough. When you’re trying to make a change to your life, it can be hard to force yourself to make the change.


When you find yourself falling back into old habits, take a step back and analyze what you’re doing. How are you eating? Are you eating healthy? Are you eating too often? Are you drinking too much? Break down your bad habits and you’re one step closer to breaking your resolution.

Eat healthy, nutritious meals  Starting A New Year Weight Loss Journey

You can’t say you want to exercise, but then sit around and snack on Oreos all day. You need to eat healthy, nutritious meals, especially when it comes to protein packed foods. Protein will help you feel fuller for longer, so you’re less likely to eat snacks throughout the day. A good meal should include lean protein, whole grains, vegetables, and healthy fats such as olive oil. Foods like oatmeal, Greek yogurt, salmon, and chicken breast are great sources of protein, so you can mix and match these and have a healthy, nutritious meal that will keep you energized and full.


Each meal can also include fresh fruits and vegetables, which will replenish your nutrients and fill you up so you need fewer snacks throughout the day.

Stay active and move more Starting A New Year Weight Loss Journey

Exercise is a great way to lose weight, but it’s not the only way. You can’t just sit around and run around and expect to see results. You need to get active and move more. Try taking up yoga, martial arts, walking around the block, or even doing a few sets of push-ups and sit-ups throughout the day. You don’t need to do intense, crazy workouts, but you need to do something that gets your heart pumping and gets you moving. Even doing something as simple as cleaning your room, raking your yard, or vacuuming your carpets can help cleanse your body and get you moving more throughout the day. When you’re moving more and staying active, you’re allowing your body to burn calories and get toned, which will help you lose weight.



Don’t beat yourself up if you slip up Starting A New Year Weight Loss Journey

If you’re trying to break your diet down and eat healthier, but you’re also craving something really bad, don’t beat yourself up for having a bad craving. Most diet plans will tell you that every now and then you should eat what you want, but if you’re trying to lose weight you shouldn’t eat too much. Most diet plans will tell you that if you’re having a bad day, you shouldn’t beat yourself up, but if you’re trying to lose weight, you shouldn’t do that, either. Don’t let yourself give into the bad habits and the bad days, but don’t beat yourself up if you slip up. A good rule of thumb is to let it go, but don’t let it go too far.

Keep the new habits going when the new year rolls around Starting A New Year Weight Loss Journey

Don’t let yourself get discouraged by the fact that you’ve slipped up in some areas or that you didn’t lose as much weight as you wanted to in the New Year.


Focus on the areas you did well and the areas you want to work on. Set a goal for yourself in the new year and make a plan. Don’t just sit around and hope that you’ll magically lose weight or that you’ll be healthier. Take action. Make small changes in your life that you can keep going once the new year is over. Keep healthy, nutritious meals in your fridge, don’t skip your daily walk, and don’t sit around and let yourself get lazy. You can take those habits you were successful with and apply them to other areas of your life that you want to change.

Conclusion Starting A New Year Weight Loss Journey

Whether you want to lose weight or simply change your lifestyle for the better, you need to make it a priority. There are many ways to do it, but the best way is to make it a lifestyle change that you’re also happy with.


If you truly want to make a change, you’ll find a way to get there. There are many ways to lose weight and many ways to change your lifestyle, but the most important thing is to make it a priority in your life and make it something that is beneficial to you, not something that you’re giving up on because you think it’s too hard.
