Weight Loss Resolutions: Why Are They Popular And Why Do They Often Fail?

Lack Of Accountability

How do you make your resolutions? Do you tell anyone what your resolutions are? Sometimes we tend to just keep resolutions to ourselves, especially quite personal ones like wanting to lose weight. This is a major reason why many of us fail at keeping weight loss resolutions in the first place! If no one else knows, what are the consequences of not following through? This can also apply to being accountable to yourself. If you only think about your weight loss resolution but don’t write it down, you are more likely to forget! Without accountability, both to ourselves and to others, we are far less likely to do what we said we would. Besides, having someone check in on your progress has more of an impact than you might think.
