Title: New Month's Resolutions
Post by: Andy on March 26, 2008, 01:14:27 PM: I decided to do smaller resolutions and re-evaluate each month this year. It's been working out ok:
January- Get our shit together- 50% success
February- Better physical health- 90% success so far
March- Better mental health- 75% and climbing
April-?????

I'm thinking about using April to lessen the importance of food in my life (the old "eat to live or live to eat" debate) Meal replacement shakes for breakfast brunch and lunch and then a reasonable meal. Not slim fast, the good shit like Muscle Milk.

Post by: Sarah on March 27, 2008, 09:27:26 AM: I too think it's not a bad idea. Of course, it's all moot for me: my willpower is at its lowest ebb these days, so any resolution would simply be a source of grief, despair, and self-loathing. My best bet is to hunker here in neutral and wait for the tide to turn.

Post by: Shaggy 2 Grote on March 27, 2008, 12:14:57 PM: Actually my resolution for the month is to just get through the month.

Post by: Emily on March 27, 2008, 02:20:20 PM: yeah thinking in terms of the month is a bit too ambitious, i think i need to scale down to week-sized resolutions. if i make this one through sunday, it'll be a success.

Post by: Emily on March 31, 2008, 11:03:26 AM: Ok! I made it through Sunday. New objective for secret resolution: let's go with Thursday, then Sunday from there.

Posting here is like reinforcement. If I falter then I falter in the face of the FOT.

This is my new motto.
