Many
of us have fallen victim to the wrath of winter and already have let
our cold weather blues bust our goals for the New Year. The first ever
Blue Monday – January 24, 2005 – was established as a marketing idea for a travel company
to boost sales during the winter. Psychologist Cliff Arnall produced a
formula based on factors such as weather conditions, debt level, time
since Christmas, time since giving up on our New Year’s resolutions, low
motivational levels and feeling of a need to take action. Some argue
that there’s no such thing, but there’s no doubt that this is a tough
time of year and - this year’s Blue Monday - January 26 - is a great time to talk about the things that get us down and how to get back on track.
If you are among the millions who started 2015 with a goal to be healthier, Dr. Gary Foster, Chief Scientific Officer at Weight Watchers, will be available to help you beat your cold weather blues, so you can achieve your winter goals. Dr. Foster will discuss:
- How your mood affects your commitment to winter goals
- The reasons why your brain gravitates towards food for comfort
- Tips to keep you on track for your winter goals
