New Years Resolutions

Recommended Posts

HAPPY NEW YEAR! Just wondering if anyone has any resolutions they want to share. For years, I would always have the same ones...drop some weight and quit smoking. For the first time in a couple of decades, I don't have those anymore. I kinda feel a bit lost without those old reliable resolutions anymore. I am going to focus on a few positives in my life. Continue working out. Develop a stronger relationship w/ God. Focus on living a healthy life.

Anyone else have any resolutions or affirmations for the new year?

I was banded a week ago. Things seem to be going pretty well so far. I have lost 14 pounds. Next Saturday I start the mushy stage. Do you have any suggestions. I live in Orange County, CA. I am excited and a little scared as I begin this new chapter. How much have you lost and what is now a typical day of eating for you? Please share what will work and what will not work. Happy New Year!

I am giving myself a lifestyle makeover. I have decided that 2008 is the year of Me. Its the year where I come first. My physical and mental health, financial stability, and education/career path are my top priorities.

I have promised myself that:

I will take my appearance more seriously

I will lose 100lbs in '08

I will write more

I will keep a cleaner house

I will be the star of my own life

Good luck with your goals this year!

My resolutions this year are pretty selfish but I have spent the last 37 years devoting my time and energy to my kids, husband and Mother. So 2008 is for me!

I want to be more productive and creative

Unfortunatly losing weight is still at the top of the list. I want to lose 50 lbs this year. Rather aggressive for me since I have only lost 50 in about 2 years.

I am going to take better care of myself in every way. I am 58 now and I need to hold back time in a serious way.

Get rid of clutter in my house, my body, my mind, my job and my relationship with my husband.

Happy 2008 and good luck to all.

......I intend to stop procrastinating so much.....but I keep putting it off......

Hah, that sounds familiar. It runs in my family, I think it's genetic (makes me feel better to blame it on the genes.)

Here are a few more:

1. Get to my goal weight by this time next year

2. Be more active

3. Make a budget to manage finances better

4. Finish my online courses and get my diploma

5. Keep a cleaner house

"Stop biting my nails" would normally be at the top of my list, but I stopped biting them a month ago. Yay me!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
