<p>It's 2025. Did you make a resolution this year? If so, how's it going? If I were in Vegas, I'd put my money on "not well." 😜</p> <p>And that's NORMAL. The second Friday of January ain't called "Quitter's Day" for nothing. </p> <p><em>So why is it SO HARD to stick to your goals? </em></p> <p>Today on the podcast, I'm sharing the first of two main reasons it's hard. </p> <p>Now, don't get me wrong. I love goals. I just don't love bullshit like...</p> <p><em>"Starting on [INSERT DATE] January 1/ Monday/ 1st of the Month... I'm going to [INSERT GOAL] do Whole 30/ start 75 Hard/ lose 10 pounds in 10 days." </em></p> <p>My friend Kara Loewentheil of the "UnF*ck Your Brain" podcast has a name for these kinds of goals: <a href="https://schoolofnewfeministthought.com/perfectionist-fantasies-tomorrow-thinking/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>perfectionistic fantasies and tomorrow thinking</em>.</a> I talk more about it in today's podcast.</p> <p>If you're struggling to lose weight, I'll bet your goal is missing one ESSENTIAL ingredient:</p> <p>YOUR REAL LIFE.</p> <p>You don't need a perfect goal to lose weight. <em>You need a plan for when the shit hits the fan.</em> Because this is real life -- you know it's gonna happen. </p> <p>Listen in on today's episode, Part 1: Why You Can't Stick to Your New Year's Resolutions, for how to create a more realistic plan and avoid the #1 thing no one plans for.</p> <p>And join me next week for Part 2.
