5 thing to do when when health resolutions fail

By the third week of January, more than 46 million Americans admit they're struggling with their healthy resolutions, according to a survey by Evolution Fresh. If you're one of them, all is not lost. Instead of throwing in the towel completely, try any one of these ideas to get back on the wellness track:
1. Ditch the scale. You are more than “your number,” but when you weigh yourself, that can be hard to remember. More often than not, people who weigh themselves tend to do so too frequently and feel defeated, judged and inadequate. Your health does not fluctuate day-to-day like the number can. Remember that by definition, weight is simply the measure of gravitational force keeping you on planet Earth. I'm all for measuring and tracking, but there are healthier things worth tracking like duration and frequency of exercise, hours of sleep, number of times you stopped yourself from emotional eating, and all the great things you do for yourself and others.

2. Fall in love with your fridge. At least once a year, your fridge needs a good, deep clean. Take everything out, wipe down the shelves, wipe off bottles and jars, check expiration dates, and toss anything that's past due. When you put the food back in, make it more organized. Keep vegetables together in the crisper drawer and jellies and jams on the same rack in the fridge, and group your fruits together. Make a list of what you already have and then look online for new, healthy recipes that will let you use some of the things you forgot you had. A cleaner, leaner fridge helps make mealtimes easier to handle, and can keep fresh, healthier food more readily available.
