Its nearly March, meaning for many we are almost 2 months into our new years resolution of losing a few kg!
For some that resolution might have already failed, for some who are truly committed and have remained consistent since Jan 1st, they should be starting to see the reward for their hard work!
So why do so many of us fail to reach our weight loss goals?
The answer is simple we fail to prepare, meaning we go into it half-arsed and without a solid plan.
Then when the going gets the tough, which weight loss is, the wheels fall off.
Most not only fail to reach the weight loss goal, but end up going backwards and adding more kg!
Losing weight, isn’t easy!
If it was the whole world would be fit and healthy.
But realistically the world is getting fatter, more unhealthy and full of avoidable diseases.
Our world today is filled with temptation and overindulging.
The bad foods are cheaper and more readily accessible, the goods foods are more expensive and involve preparation.
And guess what? People are becoming so time poor that preparing a healthy meal seams impossible in the chaos of life.
Sound familiar?.
It is easy to fall for convenience, after a hard days work, the last thing we feel like doing is going to the gym, for a run and get physical then head home and cook dinner.
But you think:
“A quick trip to KFC, wont hurt”,
“I’ll just grab a pizza on the way home”
“Italian is healthy enough!”
Can see where and how it can start to pile on?
All those suckers are packed with between 1000-1500 calories and its all going to pile on.
Even if you made it to the gym, you have probably only burnt off 300-500 of those calories at best.
So what can you do to give yourself a fighting fit chance at reaching your weight loss resolution even if the wheels have fallen off months into the new. year?
It starts with the way you go about re-defining your new years goals!
No diet or weight loss program will be successful without a solid goal in place.
A solid goal sets the platform for the entire weight loss journey!
