A new year is coming around the corner rather fast. Only a few more days to come up with how I want my year to go and what I want to do. I've been reading other blogs and seeing what their NY's resolutions are...some are the ones you hear/read every year; Losing weight is probably the most common one. I won't say I don't want to..of course I want to..I have a little poof (yes I call my belly fat a poof, sounds better that way). But i'm not going to go into a horrible spiral where I tell my self I can't eat this or I can't eat that because what's the first thing that happens?! You feel repressed and crave it till you eat and eat! No more I say!
What my resolutions this year are...
1. To dress better or at least feel better in what i'm wearing. I put together a little visual about what you might find me in most of the time. Neutral colored t-shirts or sweatshirts, baggy pants or sweatpants...and usually with my hair pulled in a pony-tail or under a hat. I have a horrible habit of while in school of not having enough time to really put time into what I look like. I might spend 15-30 minutes getting ready and i'm out the door. I just want to look a bit more put together and be more confident.
BUT I don't want to loose who I am and what I like; which is cute, comfy, and geeky. I have already bought the red blazer, still slowly accumulating the rest. I also have this habit of my weight size changing...bigger or smaller it slightly fluctuates. So I keep clothes from different weight sizes I have been...I realize this is probably not a good thing. I'm going to go through my closest and get rid of things I haven't worn in more than a year or things I can't fit into anymore.
2. I want to do more..have fun..go out and live
3. No more stressing out, no more panic attacks, no more break downs..
(I have a really bad habit of putting everything on my shoulders and caring to much)
4. work on my 21 things to do before I turn 21 list
THAT'S IT! ONLY FOUR!! ^ .^

ReplyDeleteSO.TRUE. Completely aside from anything about body image, unrealistic standards, yadayada, the thing about dieting is it.doesn't.work. The weight loss industry depends on people getting stuck in that cycle.
Cleaning your closet out and refreshing it a bit feels so good. [Except for the wallet bit ;) but whatever, it has to happen sometimes.]
I am psyched for you...I should get a list of my schemes up soon.
Heh! I can't wait.
ReplyDeleteand yeah, I've never really been a stickler for diets but one year, I think it was 07, I went the whole year with out eating fast food (still ate at restaurants)...but then the college way of life took over...grr ;)
super exciting list. Love the clothes you have picked out
ReplyDeleteGreat list :) I am thinking hard about mine this year but I've not completely decided yet! I love that handbag with the cup of tea on (can't wait until F21 opens in London, allegedly sometime soon!)
ReplyDeleteI squealed when I saw the bag, I love sweet tea!
ReplyDeleteI actually don't have one near me, the closest one is almost 3 hours away which...I'm not going to drive so I just go online. They have a pretty large selection.
