The New Year is the official date for doing Resolution-type thingies. I am rarely good at these, but I think I will give this a try.<\/p>\n
I will lose weight in 2002.<\/p>\n
I have two friends who have gone from heavy to slim (though one managed to be “helped” through diabetes). I’ve been concerned about being a bit on the heavy side of late. So I will lose weight.<\/p>\n
Really.<\/p>\n
I think the way I will do it is simply to eat less. I will simply take a little bit less than what I want. I will not eat between meals. In particular, no “just got home, gonna nibble” snacks, or “dinner’s been a while back, now for some dessert before I go to bed.”<\/p>\n
Let’s see how that works. I think it’s doable.<\/p>\n
Starting tomorrow.<\/p>\n
In the meantime, I hope the New Year brings you all happiness, prosperity, joy, fulfillment, and greater success than my resolution will likely have. God bless us, everyone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
