First and foremost...HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!! It's 2012!!!!
The funniest things about this time of year are probably the unrealistic diet plans!! People usually tell themselves around this time of year that they can do all these things that they have never done before. If you eat chocolate everyday it is ssooooo unrealistic that you are about to go 3 months with out one bite! If you never work out you probably wont start working out 6 days a week. If you gossip all day and are still around the same people, you'll be gossiping in two days, and if you have a shopping problem, it is not going to stop just because you are not going to go to the mall for one week!
The problem with most people's new years resolutions is that they are unrealistic!!! Last year I tried to give up drinking and did for about four months. And than I drank again, but I did realize drinking became less appealing to me, so I now drink a couple times in a month. I also wanted to get in the habit of praying more and I started with praying right before I went to bed. I now pray when I wake, every time I eat, when I leave my house, before I do any audition, when I see news of sickness, before I go to bed, basically as much as possible. These two situations made me realize the solution to all these failed new years resolutions.
You should not expect or put all this pressure on the first month of the year. Yes, it is a great time to start these new better habits, but realize you do not have to accomplish everything you want at once. You are making a New YEAR resolution. You make these so on new year's eve you can reflect and see that after a year's time you have accomplished your goals. Start today but give yourself a break, it is hard breaking old nasty habits. And if you have been doing something for 10, 20, 30+ years the odds are you can not quit that habit in 3 weeks!
Just some food for thought, because I love to eat!
