HOME & LIVING 2B — THE OBSERVER & BAKER CITY HERALD TUESDAY, JANUARY 5, 2021 Unexpectedly delicious: sweet tortillas RESOLUTIONS Continued from Page 1B One must ask, how much weight? Am I losing weight to improve my health or for some other reason? For example, as was stated above, “I’m going to lose 50 pounds by the end of the month” has several problems. First, it is dangerous to try to lose that much weight in that short of a period of time. Second, it is not realistic, for the reason just mentioned. A better goal statement would be, “I am interested in being healthy. Therefore, I will increase my intake of leafy green veg- etables to four servings a week, for a month. I will reduce my intake of sugar as well, by eliminating soft drinks, or drinking just one a day (depending on how many you drink currently). At the end of the month, I will see if this has helped me lose weight. I will enlist my family’s assistance with this (account- ability). At the end of the month, no matter what, I will reward myself with a new book (or other nonfood related reward).” A safe weight loss goal is 1 to 2 pounds a week. This plan helps to ensure the weight is lost for good, and keeps people from falling into a path of yo-yo dieting. No matter your health goals for 2021, remember to make them realistic, doable, with a time element to them, account- ability and a reward and you will be on your way to a healthy you in the New Year.
