Weight loss cookie? Cardio treadmill junkie? Portion control policy? How come this stuff's not working for me?
More often than not, when I meet people who struggle to lose weight or fall short of their well intentioned lifestyle changes; they haven't yet realized that success is in seeing the big picture.
The big picture is you learning how to make better choices for yourself. Once and for all stop following ridged systems that praise fast results. Likewise, it's not a good idea to try and emulate the experience of an overweight celebrity who's fallen off the wagon one to many times.
The only way you're going to accomplish this goal, is to figure out what choices you can commit to. Anyone can make extreme choices and maintain it for a short time. That's precisely why gyms are at maximum capacity from January 6th to February 2nd.
Pick one thing that you can commit to today. Don't pick your greatest battle, let's go simple. It can be something like eating a proper breakfast every day, cut out deserts, or eat 2-3 servings of fruit and vegetables each day. I strongly urge you to resist committing to more than one thing at a time. Once you feel you've integrated the change into your routine, start with the next goal.
If you're tired of falling off the wagon yourself, maybe it's time to put extreme to bed and start with just one thing.
If you can't sustain one adjustment to your lifestyle over the long run, you risk being trapped in the cycle of short term extreme with no long term gain.
