She says this reframing removes shame and allows for long-term success.

Being ashamed of the way youre currently eating and kind of beating yourself up about that some people find thats a good motivator like a kick in the pants to get them started, but it usually isnt sustainable, she told paNOW.

The thing you want to look for for long-term success is positive changes, we want people to look forward to the changes that theyre making.

Geradts says she also counsels her clients against setting weight loss goals and instead directs those interested in slimming down toward health-promoting behaviours they have control over.

They can choose to be active one day a week or set a regular bedtime, but weight loss isnt a behavior. You dont wake up and say Today Im going to lose weight, she explained.

If they do some of those healthy behaviours, their health is going to improve and they may lose weight as a result, or they may not. But they got healthier regardless and thats really whats going to improve the quality of life.

Meanwhile the general manager of Prince Albert Goodlife Fitness estimates the gym sells three times more memberships in January than it does during any other month.

Jessica Zurowski encourages people to think about increasing their fitness as a lifestyle change as opposed to just a new years resolution.

But she says if the holiday gives people the motivation they need to make healthier choices, thats a positive thing.

If what it takes for someone to get started is to be like new year, new me then thats great, she said.

Zurowski added instead of going to the gym because you feel like you have to, look for an activity you enjoy and find a new passion youll look forward to doing.
