New Years Resolutons: 2012

Chancie · 12-30-2011, 02:47 PM

I am going to try a hooping class.

I don't make resolutions
In my younger years, I never kept any of them

I will continue to improve on myself
That's all I have for now

Oh and perhaps find some inspiration, so I can write more

-2012 will be all about family & friendships..new & old.. i will reconnect with family & friends, people i've been thinking about, people i need to make amends with, people i will work on forgiveness for & people i've fallen out of touch with.. i will open myself up to making brand new friendships, and taking time to let all the people i love know every moment that i can, how much they mean to me. i will never be too busy to connect with people that i love, whether by phonecalls, e-mails or planned get togethers..i will make it a point to remember birthdays, anniversarys & check in with those i know need that.. Life is too short to ever have to say the words "i wish i would have said or done", when it's too late.. NO more pushing people out of my life, i'm worthy of friendships & my addiction is no longer my best friend.. Learning to let go of food, and distancing the people in my life that need distancing.

-i will continue to work on my addiction/eating disorder. Though it's pushing me completely out of my comfort zone, i will continue to push myself & put it out there for all to see as a means of not only helping others who need it, but helping myself by keeping myself accountable.. i will continue to attend meetings everyday - i will continue to see my Counsellor (specific to ED's) and i will continue to see my Dietician (also specific to eating disorders).. i will find a sponsor, i will continue to use all of my tools and i will pick up additional tools to add to my tool belt - i am worth all of this & 2012 will be my first year of recovery!

-Weight loss - i have already lost 71 lbs, and 2012 will be about losing the additional weight i want to lose. i will continue losing weight the healthy way, by eating right and exercising.. i will be faithful about using the tools i have to keep me motivated each day and i will not beat myself up if i fall down, because everyday is a brand new start .. i will learn to give myself credit where credit is due, and i will learn to NOT be obsessive about the weight loss, because it's more about the health than it is the weight loss.. All the good choices i make daily ensure a healthier, happier more well-adjusted me!

- smile more, be here in the PRESENT, appreciate the moments always, POSITIVITY, work on my self-esteem, wish on stars, take chances, embrace my unique & beautiful self, be FIERCE, love like there's no tomorrow, detach myself from stress & dramas, take time for my hobbies & find new ones, have FUN & always gain knowledge.. Life is too short to not enjoy everyday to it's fullest.

- Volunteering, paying it forward, always being supportive & helpful when i have the opportunity, work on ways to give back concerning poverty, eating disorders & addictions, low self esteem, community issues, children & hunger, queer community.. Mtn & i are always talking about ways we will give back, and it's something that is so important to our well-being and positive minds, and in turn it helps sprinkle love & warmth anywhere it's needed.. We've generous, caring hearts and the world could use a whole lot of that !

-Lastly, financial re-building... The last few years have been extremely difficult, financially due to my addiction, my binges were costly and i'm embarrassed to say i put certain things off which has literally not been good for my financial situation.. Having started to get a grasp on my addiction/eating disorder - i am making 2012 my year to shine, catching up with everything, budgeting, smart shopping, coupon cutting, looking for sales, being aware and getting a grasp - i've already started to and it's already making such a significant difference.. talk about a wonderful feeling.. Not putting money towards binges has clearly made a huge difference, and being smart about everything will be a big help too..

This is the only resolution I am guaranteed to keep...

tazz · 12-30-2011, 07:48 PM

2012 will be about progressing and moving forward with my current adventures; while accepting surprises/changes that may come across my path...

tapu · 12-30-2011, 08:11 PM

I don't want to set my sights too high. So I'm thinking maybe:

Get up every day.

Do not sleep in street clothes.

Walk outside at some point, other than just to take the dog out.

Speak to one person every day whom I did not birth. (The dog does not count.)

Seems daunting, but I've got to start somewhere....

I don't make resolutions....I'm always a work in progress. I may not be very good at it sometimes, but, I do the best I can.
