88% of New Years Resolutions will fail.
And it starts.
The barrage of ”get a new you this year by joining *insert gym /
slimming club here”
but let me just say this to you……. If you join up something like a gym or
slimming club as part of a New Years Resolution you are more than likely
going to fail in your quest for a ”better” you. 88% no less of
Resolutions FAIL.
PS I am sick to the back teeth of companies, yes COMPANIES who make
money off of you, telling me, nay, screaming at me excitedly that THEY
in fact hold the secret to my weight loss, and the secret to a ”better”
me.
ENOUGH!
Losing weight is a very serious life change and shouldn't be taken lightly.
Guys do me a favour, tell your lovely partners how much you love them
JUST AS THEY ARE today because goodness knows enough companies are
telling them they need to improve their appearance. By slimming.
I didn’t start my slimming journey at New Year. I didn’t start slimming
as some kind of quest for a ”better me”. So far? I’ve lost 11 stone.
I’ve slimmed from a sz 28 to a sz 12/14. And I did it all without seeing
an ad telling me to do it. I did it in the middle of the year when
something clicked in my head.
Make yourself a success story this year. Forget whatever it is companies
are trying to sell you, make the decision yourself. Don’t be guilted
into something you’re not ready for. It’s a long hard struggle of a
journey.
Be prepared.

I agree, even though I love making resolutions! Why wait for a new year to make changes? If you really want to do something or give something up, you do it there and then.
ReplyDeleteSo true - Love it!
ReplyDeleteI make the same New Years resolution every January to get fit/thin and usually fail by mid Feb!
You look amazing

Inspiring - if you really want to make the change it can not come from an external source the decision must be yours.
ReplyDeleteYou've done so well on your journey, I will be making changes in 2013 but not gonna call them resolutions cause I would like them not to fail!!
