A GIF Evolution of Your New Year's Resolutions

" \n It's time for a fresh start! New year, new you. But what really happens to those pesky resolutions... \n \n\n \n The Regret \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n Why didn\u2019t I take that three month euro trip I said I\u2019d go on? Who cares if it meant I would have had to live in my car for a month, you only live once! Why haven\u2019t I lost those five pounds, well ten pounds now, I sure do love those Christmas cookies. Why did I let this year slip through my fingers without living each and every moment?!? YOLO darnit YOLO! \n \n\n \n The Idea \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n I know! Next year, I will do all the things! I will MAKE A RESOLUTION. NO. I will make SEVERAL RESOLUTIONS. I will lose the 20 pounds, I will take a trip every month, I will eat only kale for every meal, I will work 80 hours a week to get a promotion in 4 weeks. I will DO IT ALL! \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n Signing up for all the things \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n New gym membership? Heck yes!! Extra hours at work? You\u2019re on it! 10 Travel Magazine subscriptions? Done! $300 dollars a week at whole foods? You\u2019re investing in your health! You need all those greens! \n \n\n \n The honeymoon phase \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n This is awesome! You\u2019re getting so much stuff done! You worked out every day this week and put in 60 hours at the office! You\u2019re kind of hungry from juicing three times a day and you feel like your skin is starting to look a bit like the Grinch\u2019s from all the kale, but it\u2019s all worth it right?! Rocking and Rolling! \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n The shine wears off \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n Sometimes you just really want a darn donut you know? And it makes it hard to work those extra hours when every time you get out of the office chair your glutes are on fire from all those freaking lunges. Also, the gym membership and personal training lessons are really adding up, you\u2019re not sure how you\u2019re going to pay for your rent, much less go on that big trip. Instead you just take trips in your head because you\u2019re pretty much hallucinating from eating nothing all day anyway. \n \n\n \n The slow death \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n Instead of working out or working late every night you\u2019re starting to opt for the couch a lot more. You\u2019re still making it to the gym when you can, but it\u2019s just so hard y\u2019know? \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n The break-up \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n You just Don\u2019t. Care. Anymore. The lure of Netflix and chill is too strong, the pizza, it just tastes too good. Oh my gosh, the pizza! You say \u201cIt\u2019s not me kale and Crossfit, it\u2019s definitely you.\u201d Also, you need to get a rein on those financial goals and really you\u2019re saving money by sitting on the couch and skipping that expensive gym. \n \n\n \n Plus you know you can always start all over next year \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n For now, you\u2019re just going to keep doing you. \n "
