It gets towards Christmas and many people stop thinking about them and start to pout their focus on Christmas, others and quite often partying. Their thoughts about their health, losing weight, getting fit go out the window with a thought in the back of their heads that it will be OK because they "will give it ago in the New Year"
We suggest this is entirely the wrong approach for a number of key reasons:
1) It is common knowledge (as we have all tried it) New Year resolutions don't work! The clock strikes 12 midnight, we all sing and dance and then make a pledge "I'm going to be healthy, eat well, train and get fit". Sometime you can add give up smoking & drink less alcohol but by mid January the large majority have given up on the quests and fallen back into their normal ways.
2) A lifestyle change is not a gimmick so don’t start a program with that mind-set. A healthy lifestyle is not a fad diet!! If set out with the aim of making short term fixes you will end very short of your goal. A healthier body has to be a fundamental lifestyle change in the way you think. It may only involve small changes but you have to think big.
3) There is less pressure on you to achieve if you start now. If everyone is doing it as with January there is more pressure on you to get results, you are pitting yourself against everyone else in the same boat as you.
5) Imagine how good you will feel in your party dress or suit for those Christmas parties - EVERYONE would be commenting how good you look. Just think, all those people you havn't see since last Christmas that you could show off your new found figure to!
6) Its a great way to counter all those additional calories you are about to consume over the next 2 months, better lose them straight away before they hit the hips?
FINALLY
You never know you might also enjoy it? Radical thought we know but some people actually do.
