Walk around the room or jog in place while watching television. At the mall, park as faraway as possible, rather than fighting for a space near the entrance.

If you're not motivated, you won't succeed. The experts also discourage making public proclamations about your resolutions. It's generally better to keep your intentions private. Don't make a big announcement to other people about your resolutions. In addition to your own feelings of failure, you may invite feelings of disappointment, anger, and frustration from loved ones.
