new years resolutions

already?! oh yes. i'm not a big fan of resolutions at new years. i am, however, a fan of resolutions in general. i have made my share of failed resolutions -- i can't even begin to name them. i did succeed in one pretty big one though, which is losing weight. 50 pounds later, i would say it is accomplished. with that under my belt, i feel like i am can set resolutions even if i don't make good on all of then. i want to think of today as my new years day, my first day to change the way i have been eating and acting for the past three months. why today? because today is as good as any, because i am here with my family, and i am happy. so i am going to begin ruminating on my new years resolutions now because i can start working on them before new years day!!

Resolution #1 Break the sugar habit!
I have gotten in the worst sugar habit ever since I left my parents house. With my parents, dessert it a treat. We always have deserts in our house, but they are eaten sporadically whenever anyone feels like it. I have gotten accustomed (through college and now buying food for myself) of having dessert after every meal, whether I have room for it or not. It really has become the worst habit. I'll have a yummy, healthy lunch, and then feel like I need a piece of chocolate or a diet coke afterwards. i just want to get out of that habit! it will be hard to do, but that is resolution numero uno.

more resolutions to come...
