New Year Resolutions

[debodun]

I never make any because I know I won't keep them. The only ones I could would be:

Gain 10 pounds
Eat more salty, fatty, sugary things
Never exercise

Those seem good ones. May I add ....
Binge watch more Netflix
Always remember that somewhere, somehow, chocolate is a food group

 

[Ruthanne]

I used to try to keep them but always failed so may I say...

Eat a large pizza with xtra cheese and share some with Suzy dog, too.
Vow to never exercise again in my life time.
Be a real bitch whenever I want to be.

Never could understand the reason for a New Year Holiday/celebration. The earth made yet another successful orbit around the Sun, big deal.

Totally agree. It's an arbitrary date. My family never made a big deal out of New Year. That was the day we usually took down the Christmas decorations.

Kind of feel the same way about birthday "celebrations" for grown-ups. We had another successful orbit around the sun. We do not need presents.

This coming year I have one that I am certain to keep... that is to lose the last 14 pounds I need to lose to get back to my goal weight.. I've already lost 36.. no reason to believe I will not lose the rest.

Why is it when we get older, out metabolism slows, but our appetite doesn't?

I dunno, but I sure wish I did!

Don't make resolutions per se, but do like to have a fresh start on some unfinished projects and do some reorganization in the new year, it always feels like a new beginning for me and I like that.
Its a good time to iron out any misunderstandings that might be lingering with family and friends.
I think we humans need these milestones to celebrate life and appreciate what we have and each other, not about gifts, but a real good reason to have a party!
