10 reasons why we won't be making a New Year's resolution
Give up the things we love? No thanks!
It’s the season for Christmas, celebrating and for most of us - committing to things we won’t stick to.
So here’s 10 reasons why New Year’s resolutions can wait until next year. Or the year after that.
1) We could give up chocolate or start exercising anytime of year, we’ve just chosen not to.
2) We don’t want to become one of those people who shows off their healthy plans.
3) If we decide to get fit now we'd just join the ‘resolutioners’ group at the gym – with people probably putting bets on how long we’ll keep it up.
4) Other people’s resolutions remind us that even if we made one, we probably wouldn’t stick to it.
5) And despite every good intention, most of us will have given up by July anyway - no matter how much we promised it to ourselves.
6) Even by March we’ll probably have forgotten our resolutions.
7) It’s too cold outside to not comfort eat in our pyjamas .
8) Festive food and drink taste so good!
9) Beginning a new year is stressful enough without having to give up the good things in life.
10) As soon as you turn your back on December, you have to admit that 2015 is over and it’s back to work soon… and we’re just not ready for that yet.
