But what if I mess up on January 2nd? Then I get permission to not try at all until 2026. That’s way easier. I can just overeat for a whole year and try again next January 1st.
Honestly, every time I have successfully dieted for any meaningful length of time, it just started on a random day.
Last time it was a random Friday in February. I stuck to it til the following September and lost about 50 pounds. I’ve put a lot of that back on, so maybe today’s the next one.
