If you are serious about losing some weight in the new year, try these two sure-fire techniques:

1. Forgive others

2. Forgive yourself

Carrying the weight of all the wrongs done to you is a self-perpetuating, self-defeating pursuit. So is carrying the weight of all your mistakes.

You can choose to carry the weight and you can choose to not carry the weight. Releasing the weight might not be easy, but the choice really is up to you.
