January, 2019
Janus, the Roman god of doorways, has two faces. He looks back at December when we celebrated and ahead to February when we’ll fix everything up again.
Every January, about half the people all over the country, make New Year’s Resolutions. So far reports from New York tell us most popular for 2019 is “Exercise More” followed closely by “Eat Healthier” and “Lose Weight.” Lots of people are resolving to do all three.
Half the people polled said they didn’t make any resolutions last year. Another third said they’re still keeping some or all of their resolutions. The others said they just didn’t succeed in keeping any of them.
The record for success sticking to Resolutions is not good. By the end of 2 years, 20% report they have faithfully kept their resolutions. For those who fail, it happens fairly quickly. Follow-up polls by YouGov in 2018 showed that 50% of those who failed, did so within 3 months.
Intentional Weight Loss
People do keep trying! Every year in this country, about half the adults 40 to 60 years of age try to lose weight. The Figure shows that 44% of men and 60% of women in that age group attempted to lose weight.
More than two-thirds of adults in this country carry unhealthy weight, more than about 2.5 lb per inch of standing height. More than one-third are obese, weighing more than 3.5 lb per inch. Apparently, men and women who are obese are the ones most likely to attempt losing weight.
The Figure shows that 67% of all who are obese attempted to lose weight compared to 49% of those overweight. Within each category, more women than men tried to lose weight. In any year, 71% of obese women tried to lose weight compared to 62% of obese men.
It Is Possible To Lose Weight
It really is possible to lose weight. The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey in the U.S. reported results from 2500 men and women who tried to lose weight. Results showed 41% lost more than -5% of their weight and 21% lost more than -10%.
Those who were successful reported:
1. eating less fat
2. exercising more
3. joining commercial weight loss programs
They did not have any greater success using liquid diets, nonprescription diet pills or popular diets.
Unfortunately, many people who lost weight initially, gained back about 10 lb in body weight following their success in weight loss. Most of the weight was gained back in the first 6 months after their program ended.
How To Make Resolve A Reality
Almost any program will work for somebody. But there is no program that works for everybody. For each individual, we just have to create the program that works best.

Perspective
If we keep doing something we know we can do, we’ll get better at it. If we keep trying a little harder, we’ll get really good at it.
Anything new we try to do, eventually we’ll figure it out and it’ll become easy.
Remember, it took your whole life to get where you are. That’s what your brain expects and it makes you feel it’s going to be hard to change.
To get where you want to be, we’ll teach your brain some new tricks.
