Shakti 55 Posted December 31, 2015 I've been in New Orleans for nearly a week. Love the city and the food is unbelievably fantastic. I am a New Yorker and hands down, this is the best food I've had... EVER!! I was very careful at first but it is getting harder and I had a few slip-ups. Some were big. My resolution is to not sabotage myself. I've been 'dieting' for over 40 years. This surgery was a last resort AND I had to pay every penny myself since my insurance did not have bariatric benefits. I pray that I can do this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

abs0253 193 Posted December 31, 2015 Well stated Marcia. Some of mine are to keep good care of my health. Workout six days a week for one hour. Like you Marcia to know that I am ok by myself and to stop dating trashy women. It used to be men just wanted sex but now it's the women who are the aggressors. haha! Here is to a healthy 2016!

MarciaN 391 Posted December 31, 2015 i am pretty sure this t resort for each of us. thank heavens we have each other. we are all human. Just remember that the only difference between a success and failure is the amount of times the successful person got up, dusted themselves off and tried again. Even if we have a blip--we just need to get back on track as soon as possible. And forgive ourselves. That is the biggest thing. Realizing that we aren't perfect but that is OK but we are amazing! Don't forget that, Shakti! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
retrieverguy 411 Posted December 31, 2015 Shakti a couple failures does not define you as a person. Don't let negative thought take over. Every day a sunrise happens and gives us new hope! We all love and care about you.???? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
abs0253 193 Posted December 31, 2015 Shakti don't beat yourself up. It is going to happen. It is OK to slip up. . My dr told me that if I really thought I was craving something to just have it but be smart and in moderation Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
catlynk 79 Posted December 31, 2015 Happy New year! 2015 is just about in the books and was a good year for the Holland family and especially me! I'm down 30 pounds in 12 weeks and feel great about myself, instead of feeling miserable that I gained another 5-10 pounds over the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. I look forward to 2016 and all the changes it has in store for me. I expect to not only see onederland but to reach my ultimate goal. I expect when I list my house on the market in he coming few weeks it will sell in a timely manner. When school is out June 3rd my 8 year old son and I will join my husband and 17 year old daughter in our 32foot RV until we find our dream house. And lastly I expect to start my new career as a teacher in the 2016-17 school year. Yes 2016 is going to be a good one! My resolutions are simple... To enjoy life now, and not when I'm thinner and to get back to a regular exercise routine. Usually my resolutions are to give up smoking and drinking (because I do neither it's simple but these are simple too! Be blessed with health and happiness in 2016 my friends!
