Thoughts of New Years Resolutions

Posted January 7, 2009 * Comments(8)

Good Afternoon all buddys in buddyslim :)

Hope your Wednesday is going well….1/2 way through the week   YIPPEE!!!

Just wanted to  touch on the subject of New Years Resolutions—–Have you all made yours for 2009?

Do you make the same ones every year and seem to fail?

Have you already failed at the newest New Years Resolutions for 2009?

You know what?  I always have the same ones, and I suspect most of you do as well.

  • Lose weight
  • Exercise More
  • Bet a Better Person
  • For the smokers……Quit Smoking
  • Get more involved in your Church

Ok, you get the picture.  With my dieting…..much rather call it my healthy journey.  The D word always sounds so brutal to me.

This year my one New Years Resolution is simply “Do My Best For Myself”  This year I refuse to set strict boundaries because it has gotten me nowhere.

When I was struggling with a 30 year smoking addiction, I learned so much about addictions.  In my case I believe I am “addicted” to food.  I love cooking it, love watching people enjoy my cooking, love eating, love fast food and everythat bad that goes along with it.  In my smoking cessation classes, the one phrase they always used was “Never quit quitting” 

That will be my “signature phrase” for 2009 :)

I hope that those who have made their New Years Resolutions will have success. 

Lets take this one day at a time.  Its a new year, we have a new chance…..and I’m putting on a new face….yes buddys, this is my GAME FACE!!!! LOL!!!

Thought I’d share some dieting quotes I found :)

  • The biggest seller is cookbooks and the second is diet books–how not to eat what you’ve just learned to cook  ~Andy Rooney
  • The cardiologists diet:  If it tastes good, then spit it out ~Author Unknown
  • Don’t dig your grave with your own knife and fork  ~English Proverb
  • Reality check:  you can never, ever, use weight loss to solve problems that are not related to your weight.  At your goal weight or not you still have the same husband, the same job, the same kids and the same life.  Loosing weight is not a cure for life ~Phillip C. McGraw
  • The one way to get thin is to re-establish a purpose in life ~Cyril Connolly

I’m sending all my heartfelt blessing to all of you here, wishing you the very best 2009.  May all your goals be reached….your dreams be answered and most of all…lets all stick together as we are a “BuddySlim” family and get healthy!!!! 

Love you all sooooooooo much :)
