It was easy to strike a New Year's resolution off the list. I didn't achieve it, I just crossed it out.

Losing 10 pounds is no longer important. (Some) dietitians say that losing weight should not be the goal.

One should focus on "intuitive eating":

Many anti-diet proponents instead advocate intuitive eating, or listening to the body’s innate signals around hunger, fullness and food preferences. Central to the process is giving up tracking weight and categorizing foods as morally good or bad.

Rather than lose weight by denying one's craving, one should focus on eating but not overeating, exercising moderately in activities (e.g.,walking, golf, bicycling) one enjoys, and going to bed when one is tired.

A more accurate term might be intuitive living with guardrails. The weight and health will take care of themselves.
