Contrary to popular belief and to what most people do, the best time to lose weight is not at the beginning of the year. The best time to get busy with a weight loss plan is right away especially if that happens to be at the end of the year. The five main reasons for this may seem kind of trivial but are actually at the heart of why most people fail to get past the first 6 weeks of a new diet and exercise plan when they start at the beginning of the year instead of right away.
Better Deals on Everything
January first is when everybody and their grandma start a weight loss plan so weight loss businesses don't offer very good deals at this time. If you start at any other time of the year and especially at the end of the year, you get better deals on everything from supplies to programs whether they be in town or online because weight loss business is only booming in January. Take advantage of this.
Distractions Work in Your Favor
If you decide to start a weight loss plan when there are major distractions ahead then you can learn to use those distractions to your advantage. You can use vacations, holidays, and parties to get your initial screw-ups and false starts out of the way so that you can get truly serious about your efforts faster.
If you're waiting until January to start a weight loss plan because you think you will have better focus at the start of the year then you are not facing reality. Weight loss takes work no matter when you do it but even if you do manage to put everything aside to get going you'll eventually have to face distractions, otherwise known as daily life. Starting right away or during the holidays teaches you that eating healthy and getting regular exercise is all about smart planning.
Build A Better Support Network
Studies have shown that if you have a lot of weight to lose, building a support network of other successful losers or like minded losers will help you reach your goal faster. The best time to do this is any month that is not January when all those not so serious losers crowd the gym, forums, and boot camps with their noise.
Look & Feel Great Faster
If you start right away and accept that weight loss will be a journey then you are more likely to lose 5-8 pounds fast and if you start a month before the new year then you get to wake up looking and feeling great buck nekkid on January 1st vs. feeling like this: "here we go again with another diet and exercise regimen". If all those aren’t good enough reasons to start right away then start anyway!
