Part 1: Why You Can't Stick to Your New ...

CORINNE CRABTREE
About this episode

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." 😜

And that's NORMAL. The second Friday of January ain't called "Quitter's Day" for nothing. 

So why is it SO HARD to stick to your goals? 

Today on the podcast, I'm sharing the first of two main reasons it's hard. 

Now, don't get me wrong. I love goals. I just don't love bullshit like...

"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." 

My friend Kara Loewentheil of the "UnF*ck Your Brain" podcast has a name for these kinds of goals: perfectionistic fantasies and tomorrow thinking. I talk more about it in today's podcast.

If you're struggling to lose weight, I'll bet your goal is missing one ESSENTIAL ingredient:

YOUR REAL LIFE.

You don't need a perfect goal to lose weight. You need a plan for when the shit hits the fan. Because this is real life -- you know it's gonna happen. 

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.

And join me next week for Part 2. I'll give you three good questions to ask yourself when your motivation runs out.
