I don't normally make resolutions, I just give myself an entire year to complete a simple task.  This year I want to get a wig.  I'm tired of dealing with my hair.

Damn, I just realized I probably s**t all over the thread. Sorry about that. I hit reply and got carried away.

Don't worry, I think it's tradition for someone to pooh-pooh the resolution thread.  You just got it out of the way :smile:.

I should probably get a haircut.

I ALWAYS have a New Year's resolution to lose weight.  I have kept 20 pounds off the past 2 years, but I still would like to lose about another 20.  Might try Weight Watchers this coming new year.

For 2011, I really want to try to be more optimistic about things.  I tend, as the saying goes, to see the glass being half empty instead of half full.  I want to work on being a happier, kinder person. 
Hold onto your dreams ....

I'd say that you are that already.  :smile:

Same resolution I make every year which is not make any resolutions... hasn't failed yet.

QuoteI quit smoking a little over 4 years ago, after 19 years of smoking and several bad attempts at quitting. I quit because I was ready to quit, finally developed the willpower to succeed, and did it cold-turkey. At the time I had considered waiting and making it a NY resolution because it was only a month and a half away, but I realized that I was at an important crossroads where I was very motivated to quit, and if I waited maybe that window would pass.

yeah, I agree it would be fruitless to announce I was gonna quit on a certain date - but I do want 2010 to be my last year to smoke. Deciding to stop cold turkey and just not picking the thing up again is probably the best way for me, too.

Take the money you'd spend on smokes and put it in a jar every day and when you see the money you are saving (or was spending) you'll quit... worked for me. I quit this year it was about a $200 month expense after the tax hike. Smoke here went from about a $1.30 pk to $5.00 pk in a matter of days... by the way I smoked 30 years and quit cold turkey.

In my opinion the first two weeks are the hardest far as nicotine goes after that it's just breaking the habit of smoking.
