How to Achieve your New Year's Resolution for 2010!

Five, four, three, two, one... Happy New Year!

January 1^st is just around the corner and it’s time for you to make New Year’s resolutions. Some like to think that this is an opportunity for a fresh start. About 45 percent of American adults make one or more resolutions each year. Among the top new year’s resolutions are: weight loss, exercise, managing finances, debt reduction, etc. Research shows that less than half of New Year’s resolutions are achieved as the year goes on. Here are a few tips to achieve your 2010 New Year’s resolutions!

1- Be realistic when setting the goals.
2- Set specific goals.
3- Write down your goals on a paper/diary so they become more real to you.

4- Set up a plan to reach your goals throughout the New Year.
5- Identify your level of commitment.
6- Have a positive attitude.

7- Remind yourself of your goal as often as needed for you not to lose track of your ultimate objective.

Slim Tip for this Holiday Season!

Get Slim Challenge Finalist Libby Sarles couldn’t be more proud of her accomplishments in 2009—losing 43 pounds in only 90 days with the help of Slim was the highlight of this year. She shares her tip on how to avoid overeating during this holiday season.

“Take Slim with you to get-togethers where there is a potential for food pushers to overwhelm you or where you feel tempted to overeat. In fact, take two or three packets with you so, if necessary, you can fight the urge to succumb to social pressure to over-fill the plate—two before and one right before you're pushed to go up for seconds.”

--Libby Sarles, Canada

Make Smart Choices during this Holiday Season!

As we approach the end of each year, we are encountered with festivities such as Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years. Not only we enjoy giving thanks for our lives, Christmas gifts, and the goals we set for the year to come but we also enjoy the delicious meals, candies and cookies— and that is when you begin to enter the danger zone.

We’ve just been through with Thanksgiving and if you ate a little bit more than you should have, don’t be discouraged and don’t let yourself indulge in excessive eating for the remaining of the year. Don’t give yourself the excuse that it is ok to keep eating that Thanksgiving leftover until the next holiday is here. Or don't keep telling yourself that your New Year’s resolution is to start a diet and lose weight.

During this holiday season, make sure to commit yourself to eating right today, not tomorrow or next year. If you feel that you fell off the wagon, don’t give up. Re-commit yourself and keep making better food choices. Also, don’t forget to drink Slim before your main meals.
