The new year marks a turning point for many who set a newfound resolve to get back in shape.
One-in-three of us put getting into shape at the top of our resolutions list, but with the reality of school and life, the chances of old habits creeping back in are high.
LighterLife Fast conducted a study researching why so many people find it hard to stick with a diet.
In their poll, one-in-five women blamed emotional eating, while another 20 percent said life got in the way, making it difficult to find the time to stick to a plan.
Boredom and lack of willpower were other common problems.
Andrew Schrage, founder of MoneyCrashers told Shape magazine that, “Many people make their resolutions with a genuine belief that they can accomplish them, but come February the excitement wears off and other priorities begin to take precedence.” To combat these pitfalls, it’s important to make your resolutions realistic.
