If you’ve watched Jay Leno’s Tonight Show for any length of time, you know that he always comes up with a series of funny New Year Resolutions. This time of the year, you can count on it! Also, he frequently cracks jokes about our obesity problem in the U.S.
Last year, one of his funny New Year Resolutions was as follows:
“Now there are more overweight people in America than average weight people. So, overweight people are now average, which means you’ve already met your New Year’s resolution!”
Kind of tongue in cheek funny because it speaks to a serious problem – what I call “cultural obesity.” In other words, since the majority of people in our society are now overweight, it’s become somewhat acceptable and “normal” to be heavy. While in some respects that is fine, overall it is not primarily because of the related health issues with obesity.
In the spirit of the evening, many people worldwide make funny New Year Resolutions. After all, it’s a happy occasion so why not laugh and have fun?
But most people also do a little self reflection and come up with typically three resolutions. And the top three almost always includes weight loss, making more money and getting better organized.
How did your weight loss resolution work out for you this year? Or last year?
Recent studies estimate that about 55% of people worldwide make at least one resolution but after about three weeks, it’s usually over. Roughly 90% of the people making resolutions fail to accomplish any of their goals.
The reason? There is no emotional investment or commitment in the process, just wishful thinking.
