TIPS TO HELP YOUSTICK TO PLEDGESTHERE’S no bettertime than the NewYear when it comes toturning over a newleaf.

For so many of us theannus novus represents aclean slate — a freshopportunity to improveourselves and to enrichour lives.

But while millions ofpeople take part in theannual resolution ritual, itdoesn’t take long for thesesolemn pledges to fall bythe wayside.

Whatever the nature ofyour goals, it’s never thateasy to achieve them in

reality.One reason that we

abandon our resolutionsso easily is that, in thisworld of instant gratifica-tion, we don’t reap resultsas quickly as we want.

Resolutions such as los-ing weight, getting fit andgetting a new job do nothappen over night — nomatter how much wewould like them to.

Another reason is thatmany people find thatthey actually becomeunhappier as a result ofgiving something up orchanging part of theirlives.

Working harder, givingup smoking, cutting outcake or drinking less alco-hol may be better for youin the long run — butmany people soon get fedup with their new regimeof abstention.

But help is at hand —and here are a few tips tohelp you stick to your NewYear’s resolutions, whatev-er they may be.

First of all, don’t bite offmore than you can chew.

Making resolutions onNew Year’s Eve may seema great idea at the timebut they will be hardpromises to keep.

The thing to do is to aimto make little changes toyour lifestyle throughoutthe coming year, and tobuild on them as time pro-gresses.

Give yourself a realisticdate by which to haveachieved your main resolu-tion.

It can be helpful to writedown your resolution andput it on display some-where you will see it everyday to remind you of yourgoal.

Ask someone you know toencourage you and then, ifyou feel like quitting, youcan call on them for sup-port.

Better still, find someonewho is trying to accomplishthe same thing as you andsupport one other.

Write down a list of bene-fits which you’ll reap onceyou achieve your goal andlook at it regularly toremind yourself why youare doing it.

Finally, plan a reward foryourself once you accom-plish your resolution, evenif it just a small achieve-ment as part of a largergoal.

Gym commitment: Getting fit is a top new year priority for many of us.

change your wayof life foreverOld habits die hard: Can you commit to quitting in 2009?

A burning desire to quit smoking?RECORD numbers ofsmokers are predictedto quit in January 2009,according to an onlinestore supplying nico-tine patches and gum.

Simon Driscoll from StopSmoking Shop said: “Wehave seen an unprecedent-ed interest in our website inthe run up to the New Year.We’ve seen record numbersof people using our onlinetools to work out how muchtime and money they usesmoking cigarettes – as wellas finding out more aboutthe impact their habit ishaving on their health.

“It takes just a minute onStop Smoking Shop to cal-culate the details of howmuch your personal smok-ing habit costs you, howmuch time it takes up, andthe real impact on yourhealth.

“Many smokers are alsocatching on to the fact thatlike the banks, the tobaccoindustry is lining its pocketsat their expense – and no-one wants to be taken for amug.”

Mr Driscoll thinks the cur-rent interest in stop smok-ing products is attributableto two things – the tradi-tional New Year’s resolu-tions and the current eco-nomic situation.

He said: “As usual we areseeing a seasonal uplift inpeople wanting to quit inearly January when they

are looking for a freshstart. But we also believeinterest in quitting hasbeen boosted by the UKrecession, which hasmeant people are watch-ing every penny theyspend.

“One of our key mes-sages to smokers thinkingabout stopping is thatthey will save an awful lotof money. Smoking is sim-ply money going up insmoke – a 20-a-day habitis equivalent to buying adecent MP3 player eachmonth and setting fire toit.

“Once people get a han-

dle on the cost of theirsmoking, they start to seespending a few pounds onquitting as an invest-ment.”

The public health chari-ty ASH has the followingtips for smokers wishing tostub out the habit:� Make a resolution to

quit on or before NoSmoking Day (March 8).Setting a date to quit helpsin mental preparation.� Telephone the profes-

sionals: Your chances ofsucceeding are greatlyimproved with qualifiedhelp.� Know what to expect:

Many people find the firstfew days very difficult.Nicotine withdrawal maymake you restless, irrita-ble, frustrated and sleep-less. These feelings willpass and you will soonstart to feel the benefits ofstopping.� Deal with nicotine

withdrawal: Options incl -ude the use of nicotinereplacement therapiessuch as gums and patchesor prescribed medication.Make an appointmentwith your doctor to discussthe treatment that willwork best for you.

IF YOU’VE over-indulged atChristmas, you’re probablykeen to shake off those extrapounds.

The best way to do this, according toThe Food Standards Agency, is to eata balanced diet and get physicallyactive.

The key to a healthy diet is to eat avariety of foods. Fruit and veg shouldmake up a third of the food you eat.

Aim to eat at least five portions everyday, and these can be tinned, frozen,dried, cooked or raw, and a glass offruit juice can also make up one ofyour portions each day.

As a guide, a portion means oneapple or banana, or two smaller fruitsuch as plums, or two to three table-spoonfuls of frozen vegetables.

Starchy foods should also make upabout a third of your diet.

These include bread, breakfast cere-als, pasta, rice, potatoes, beans andlentils.

You might think that starchy foodsare particularly fattening – but thisisn’t true, although they can becomefattening if they’re cooked or servedwith added fat.

It’s the margarine or butter wespread on bread, the cream or cheesesauce we add to pasta or the oil we use

for frying that makes them fattening. And there’s no escaping the fact

that, now Christmas is over, youshould keep cakes, biscuits, crisps, pas-tries and ice cream to a minimum.

Physical activity is a good way ofusing up extra calories, and helps usto maintain our body weight.

It’s a good idea to get active eachday, but you don’t need to join a gymif you don’t want to.

Other suggestions include going fora walk after lunch, take the stairsinstead of the lift, walk (or even jog)some of your shorter journeys, orcatch the bus one or two stops furtherdown the road.

If you have a medical condition youshould be careful when taking exer-cise and always consult your GP beforestarting a new exercise programme orincreasing your levels of activity.
