Transforming the Shadows of Failed New Year’s Resolutions

When I started planning my weight loss, all-or-nothing thinking emerged as one of the biggest reasons around my history of failed New Year’s resolutions.

For me, a New Year’s resolution was always worded in an all-or-nothing mindset and behavior. Over the years, my resolutions usually included variations of the following themes.

• I will lose weight.

• I will eat healthy foods.

• I will avoid unhealthy foods.

• I will exercise.

But, my resolutions never took failure into account.
