DR MICHAEL MOSLEY: Have faith! Your 2019 resolution WILL work... if you chuck these out

Daily Mail  

Maybe you’ve decided to learn French or get a new job. These include: ‘Don’t bother with a New Year resolution because you will give up within a couple of weeks.’ Get rid of calorific items such as doughnuts and replace them with healthy food Here's proof that resolutions do stick There is a widespread belief that resolutions are a waste of time because they inevitably fail. At this time of year, I often hear it said that ‘70 per cent of people give up within two weeks’, or ‘only 12 per cent of people stick to their resolutions for more than six months’. In this study, researchers took 159 people who made a resolution to lose weight, quit smoking or exercise more, and 123 people who had similar goals but hadn’t yet made a resolution to change. Don't be scared to set a big goal Losing weight fast can be both motivating and effective Another thing we often hear is: ‘If you want to succeed, you have to set yourself small, realistic goals.’ When it comes to exercise, this is probably true.
