Making New Year’s resolutions has become a cultural phenomenon.
While theresolutions may change throughout the years, many goals have stayed the same.
According to a survey conducted byStatista, the majority of 2023 resolutions once again focus on losing weight.
Online therapy resource,Talk Space, has also echoed these sentiments.
“The scale can be confusing.
“Most importantly, it is not an indication of your self-worth!
Negative self-esteem and ‘thin ideal internalization are contributing risk factors for eating disorders, which can be extremely dangerous.
Even if disordered eating does not occur, poor body image can be damaging and have lasting consequences.”
Instead, try making more positive resolutions.
These are more positive and less focused on a number on the scale.
