Do you have a new years weight loss resolution?

The reason so many new years weight loss resolutions are unsuccessful is that they are usually made on account of the external optimism of making them on the new year. As if it were an important ritual of the day, part of the ceremony of the holidays, like hanging tinsel on the Christmas tree.

To achieve success a resolution needs to be internal. And when new years is just as good a day as virtually any to make one, making one simply because it's new years is not. In fact, the tradition may over time have actually hindered people success.

Precisely why? Because according to some professionals only 8% of New Year's Resolutions are accomplished. (I have no clue how they estimate that, but it rings true somehow.)

The result is that we have as a society developed a "Failure Syndrome" around the subject of New Year's resolutions. We expect to fail and needless to say, we do.

After I finally quit smoking cigarettes after more than 100 attempts that did not succeed, my biggest obstacle became overcoming my habit of failure more than the smoking habit. I eventually succeeded as I devised a strategy aimed at staying quit a specified period of time and then permitting myself to smoke cigarettes again, once I hit that limit. That took away, my feel like I was going to fail anyway so I may as well have a cigarette now and get it over with.

Now I don't know if that will work for anyone else, but it actually did for me.

The real key to setting a new years resolution weight loss, is not to concentrate on losing weight.

We have to think about resolutions not as wishes or even objectives.

We should wish we were thinner and healthier. We may want to be x pounds, or even x pounds by a definite date. But the real solution is not about what we want. It's about how exactly we are going to get there.

A resolution is not a "Want to," it's a "How To." Exactly what are we going to do to attain the desired effects?

Therefore it may be vital to think about the steps to making a resolution for a moment.

First, we must come to a realization that something must change in our lives. The key again is the first person, "we" which means YOU.

Second, having accepted the need to make something take place, We (you) have to calculate what you will in fact need to do to achieve that something. The apparent you are on this "Plan" the better, but even a sketchy plan, if realistic and believable to the only person that matters is okay. (By the way, that's you again.)

Lastly, the critical step is that you actually decide to do it. This is a decision - not a wish.

The resolution once made is delicate, like a newborn infant and needs nurture and care. In the beginning your own will power and commitment could be enough to sustain it and take you off to a start.

Your initial success can serve to encourage you to continue, but you need to see that success. And that means you need to monitor your progress. If you cannot gauge it, it will be difficult to use that success to sustain your enthusiasm and commitment.

I hope you got the essence of this message, which is to appreciate that a resolution is not a wish, but nevertheless a plan.

I encourage you to think about your plan and the way you will sustain it in the face of inevitable occasional failure. Persistence is the key. Go for it.
