388.0. "NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS" by CLOVE::MORRILL () Fri Dec 30 1988 15:08

    How many of you out there (besides myself) are making
    that famous New Year's Resolution to *FINALLY* lose
    the weight?  I know, I am hoping that 1989 will be
    the year for "getting skinny."  And I hope this 
    will be the last year I will make this resolution
    again!!!
    
    How about you??
    
    
    P.S.  HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I have stopped thinking of it in terms of timeframes and have turned to getting 
through it day-by-day.  I hope to release my weight and problems that, with it, 
are mentally/physically associated, within the next few months, but today is 
the most important part of that choice!

    I have no choice...I have to have surgery to replace my hip joint
    sometime this year.  The most convenient time for me (job- and 
    school-wise) will be in mid-June.  My doctor tells me that the more
    I lose, the better the outcome will be.
    
    So,
    
                         THIS IS IT!  THIS TIME FOR SURE!
    
    
    Happy New Year, Everybody.

    Yes, I'll join in on this one. I think there's something a little
    different about making a resolution on the turn of the year, corny
    though the idea may seem sometimes. Now's the time. Seventeen pounds
    to go ...
