I KNOW we’re almost halfway through February, but I want to talk about January the 1st!  I always used to think I’d be really busy every January helping people with their New Year resolutions.

In fact, in my early days I wasted a lot of money advertising that help. And few people responded.

I now realise that people don’t feel like they need help at the start of their new push for improvement.

Many of us begin the New Year full of enthusiasm or determination to make life different – or in the case of weight loss, we look down at the scales and panic that we have to do something.

And often, as the years pass, a kind of Groundhog Day routine emerges over the first four to six weeks of every year – round about now, in fact. We keep seeing the same things happening over and over.

We begin firm in our desire, and as the weeks go by our resolve slips, our discipline weakens and we fall off the wagon with our diet.

It’s one of the reasons why by using diets as our sole route to getting the body we want, we tend to set ourselves up for failure; our minds just aren’t cut out for the long haul.

Slimpods are designed to be different, to make our choices feel natural and not be part of something restrictive. That way, progress is inevitable.

A Slimpod calms us down about how fast we’re losing weight, because we know it’s going to happen and it can be permanent.

That way we can actually enjoy being different.
