New Years Resolutions

I've come to realise over the holidays that the reason I dislike myself so much is because I'm lazy (and I'm lazy because I dislike myself - go figure!). Anyways, each time I've done something productive, I've felt so good and its given me a little boost. The more I do the more I want to do, so I'm trying to use it to my advantage. I decided to make some new years resolutions, even though I've never achieved them previously. Lets see how I go this year... perhaps I can make an effort to cross them off as I go.

#1. Instead of 'Lose weight' or "lose x kilos" this year, I'm going to concentrate on continuing to eat smaller portions, healthy foods, eat breakfast, cut back on caffeine and alcohol, and most importantly, walk my beagles twice per day. If I can continue to walk morning and night - one beagle per walk - I will certainly be much healthier for me and my hopefully soon-to-be-born baby. My beagles are extremely overweight and I really want them to live long lives. So this will help this immensely also.

#2. Stop caring so much. I tend to care more about other people than myself, and get very hurt by many people quite often because of it. From now on, I come first. I'm not going to play games, and if I don't like someone, I'm not going to go out of my way for them. Its just ridiculous and I don't get anything out of it but pain.

#3. Look after myself better. I need to start getting my hair done, waxing, shaving, using proper cleanser and moisturiser... straighten my hair, wear makeup, buy nice clothes and underwear. Tan, exercise, give myself pedicures, facials, manicures, hair treatments and baths with nice smelling stuff. I do deserve it and I always feel SO much better once I've done it.



They are the only 3 things I wish to achieve this year. It needs to be about me, because how will I teach my child to be confident and love themselves if I don't do it myself? I am looking forward to this year :)
