Are New Years Resolutions a Bad Idea?

December 31, 2007 on 2:56 pm | In Life, Weight Loss |

It wasn’t hard for me to find an article to agree with my thought that New Years resolutions are a bad idea. More specifically, big life changes like significant weight loss or quiting smoking cannot be achieved by making some kind of vow on a specific date. Bold resolutions are a way of setting yourself up to fail.

If you feel some obligation to make a resolution, be specific and small. Resolve to go for a long walk one day a week. Resolve to leave the TV off for one night a week. If you are successful with a small resolution, you can use that to springboard to bigger things.

  1. I completely agree! My new years resolutions don’t include weight loss because I have told myself that’s it’s a requirement, not a goal.

  2. New Year’s Resolutions….
    When the New Year comes upon us, those of us with excess weight, start to think of a way to try to get off our excess weight, one more time. If you are computer savvy, you start searching for a fast and easy weight loss plan. Recently, the Kimkins.comdiet has come into the lime light as being a fast and easy diet. Don’t be fooled. Do your research! Kimkins.con is nothing more than a low fat, low carb, low calorie, unhealthy starvation diet that is causing Eating Disorders (EDs) in many. This diet was started by a lady who calls herself “Kimmer” and never even lost the weight herself on her own diet. Kimmer even charges $59.95 for her unhealthy starvation diet and offers a “lifetime” membership that gets you banned from her website with no recourse if you question her about her diet or after pictures. There are a lot of good Low Carb diets on the market that are a healthy way of eating that you can get for free on different websites along with the community support you need. Try them first and see how much better you feel losing your weight in 2008!!
