This Simple Phrase Will Help You Keep Your Resolution To Lose Weight

A new study found that the key to staying motivated to keep a New Year's resolution to lose weight or get in shape is to hear people say you look "super hot." Yes, specifically "super hot." No other phrase will work. 

Dr. Becky Spelman is a cognitive behavioral psychiatrist, and she ran the study. Here's her explanation for why "super hot" works. Quote, "Hearing, 'You're looking super hot today!' resonates more than a straightforward, 'You're looking good.' The words suggest that our friend is having a visceral, emotional response to our appearance." In other words, a person might say you're looking good because they know you're dieting . . . but if they say you're super hot, it's because that's what popped into their head. So you interpret it as authentic and honest, and that's more motivational.
