Submitted to OnFocus Just about everyone can relate to making a New Years resolution to lose weight or eat healthier. January typically goes pretty well. We stay on track. The routine is new and different. We are motivated to make a change.

Now we are into the second month of the year, and motivation tends to dwindle. By the middle of February, up to 80 percent of us have left our resolutions by the wayside.

Why is weight loss such a common resolution? Obesity is a growing epidemic worldwide. In the United States, the prevalence of obesity in men was 37.9 percent, and the prevalence of obesity in women was 41.1 percent, according to the 2015 and 2016 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Unfortunately, trends dont show this getting any better.

Why is obesity such a concern? Obesity contributes to a plethora of diseases, many of which resolve with diet and exercise. Health complications associated with obesity include:

This list is certainly not comprehensive, but it highlights the expansive effects obesity has on our body. It can affect nearly every organ system. In total, there are 57 comorbidities associated with obesity, according to the Obesity Medicine Association.

If you are reading this, chances are you or someone you know is obese and suffering with one or several of these complications. Whats the good news? The CHOICES we make have the power to reverse many of these illnesses!

Here are some tips and tricks to help you stay on track and keep that weight loss goal in focus.

Overall, the key to success with weight loss is knowing that your lifestyle has to change and focusing your energy on the positive that comes with that, not on what has been taken away. Knowing that you will add years to your life, eliminate disease, move easier, gain confidence, boost your mood, and get better sleep are all internal motivators that will drive you day in and day out.
