"In the new year, I want to lose weight." I believe you also made a New Year's wish for yourself at the end of 2016. Losing weight successfully has always been at the top of the list of New Year's wishes in the past, but there are only a few who succeed...

Interestingly, even though the goals they set often fail, 60% of people will still make the same wish! But you don’t want to make useless wishes year after year, so follow these 4 principles and you will definitely be successful in 2017!

"I want to be as thin as Jolin Tsai" VS "I want to lose 6 kg this year!"

Set clear and executable goals. It is well known that New Year's resolutions are difficult to achieve, mainly because we often feel that "I must transform myself and become a completely different person", and this situation often makes the set goals out of reach and impossible to achieve. Therefore, set clear and achievable goals, and remind yourself to achieve them anytime and anywhere!

"I must lose weight next year! Let's indulge on the last day of this year" VS "I must lose weight next year, starting today!"

Do it now, don’t wait until the New Year! After many people set new goals for weight loss before the New Year, their next step is to think that since next year is the new year, this year is still 2016, so they can just start tomorrow! It is this kind of mentality that will reduce execution and perseverance. Don’t forget that losing weight is a marathon, not a sprint! You must be committed enough to yourself to achieve your goals!

"No fried food this year" VS "Half a bowl of rice per meal"

Set small, simple goals! The simpler the task, the easier it is to accomplish. Don’t make the task too big. As long as you violate the promise you made once, you will always comfort yourself that it’s okay, it only happens once a year, and then there will be a second time and a third time, and gradually the self-shame will disappear! So, set simple small goals, achieve them every day, step by step but at any time.

"Losing weight is shameful, I dare not tell others" VS "I am just losing weight, no feeding allowed!"

Many people regard losing weight as a shameful thing, but no! This is not something to be ashamed of, but something to be proud of because you are determined to make yourself better! So you can announce it to the public and replace the pictures on Facebook and Line with ones prohibiting feeding! When you are eating, your peers and colleagues will even make fun of you: "Aren't you trying to lose weight, why are you eating so much?" Isn't this a good reminder? Let the world know! After you achieve your goal, these people will look at you with admiration!
