Is your weight loss plan always unsustainable? Is the plan too difficult, or are you too hard on yourself? Don't people say they'll do whatever they set out to do, even if it means crawling on their knees? Why isn't your plan working? The answer is: because you have very poor self-control.

So, is there any way for someone with poor self-control to successfully complete their weight loss plan?

The answer is: Yes! If you understand and apply certain principles of psychology and behavior, you can make your New Year's fitness plan more than just theory. Of course, this sometimes requires a financial investment. However, compared to your health, this expense is entirely worthwhile.

There are many sports; you need to find one you like.

Find a form of exercise that you enjoy. We recommend: "By starting with spinning, running, yoga, Pilates, or dancing, choose your favorite sport and stick to it. This will help you develop an exercise habit."

Remind yourself constantly

"You have an obligation to constantly remind and urge yourself to exercise," the editor believes. "After going to bed the night before, you should prepare the clothes you will wear for your workout the next day and place them where you can see them when you leave the house."

Friends supervise each other

This free method is very simple: find a group of like-minded friends to keep each other accountable.

Today, the popularity of social media, fitness apps on smartphones, and fitness trackers have made this especially easy. Create a small fitness group where members are required to share their daily workout results. You'll find that with encouragement and "likes" from friends, you're more likely to stick to your workout routine, and the monotonous exercise gradually becomes more interesting.

Going to the gym with friends can make the otherwise tedious workout more fun, and the mutual encouragement and support can make sticking to a workout routine less difficult.

Ensure sufficient sleep, 6-8 hours.

The first thing to do to combat overwork-related weight gain is to get at least 6 hours of sleep every day, and 8 hours is even better.

Weight loss experts unanimously say, "Don't even think about losing weight if you don't get enough sleep!" Studies have confirmed that people who sleep less than 6 hours or more than 9 hours a day have a higher body mass index (BMI) than those who sleep about 7 to 8 hours, and are also more likely to accumulate body fat.
