If you’re working hard to lose weight or get your abs on point this year, you are likely not alone. Even if sometimes it feels like all your friends and family want to sabotage your hard work every week with constant happy hours, brunches and various social gatherings.

Let’s just be blunt about it: Eating healthy is not always easy. But that doesn't make it impossible. Here are our Favorite science backed tips to help you stick to your diet this time and be more successful in the long run.

Find What Motivates You
Start with why. Before you even try to decide to make a change, give yourself a good reason to do it in the first place. Motivation is powerful, and once you've found it, it's really just a matter of holding on to it. But it has to come from you. While others can inspire you to want to change, no one can really give you the daily gusto to make it happen, except you.

Really ask yourself, "what is driving me to to this? What am I hoping to get our of it". And then write it down or take a picture of it, and post it somewhere that you have to see it every day - like in the mirror or the fridge.

Whether that’s a number on the scale, or something of bigger impact, like living longer to see your grandkids someday. This may sound extreme to some, but it’s a harsh reality that eating an unhealthy diet may shorten your life span. If you remind yourself of your motivation when you want to give up, you’ll be less likely to.
