All of these things mean something to someone. Every year I make it a habit to make New Year's Resolutions. And every year I promptly break them. This year is no different. It is no suprise to anyone that I have gained weight. My weight has always been a challenge. Ups and downs and back again. It seems that when I reach a point in my life where I am sad about something, I tend to just eat and veg. I don't DO anything. I need to get out. I need to exercise. I need to eat better. I need to stop drinking carbonation. I need, I need, I need. But, do I WANT? There in lies the problem. I had an epiphany. I WANT to feel better. I WANT Andrew and I to be around for each other. I WANT us to be able to go out and do things without our bodies hurting or aching. The only thing that is a problem, is I WANT Diet Coke. I want it everyday. I love the taste. I hate the headaches that come to me when I haven't had one. It sucks. This is dependancy. I don't want it anymore. So, today is the day that I actually start on one of my resolutions. No carbonation. Hopefully it works.
The others that I have listed are not very personal, but they are necessary for me to accomplish my ultimate goal of feeling better and looking better. I want to start exercising. I want to pay my tithing more(not so good at this). I want to stand up for myself instead of just taking all the blame for past events. I want to improve my work situation (I have done a pretty good job of this one).
My hope is that through all of this, I can be the Me I am meant to be. I hope to accept the Me that I turn out to be. I also want to bring Andrew along on this journey. Today is a positive day.
Good for you Becki! I've noticed when I have goals that sometimes I try to change too many things all at once, and then I always fail because it's too much to handle. One or two things works best. You'll do great!
