Every New Year's Eve I like many people around the world make a resolution or resolutions to change something in their lives.
For me last January 1st, I vowed to quit smoking. I did try in January and failed badly. Then I forgot about my resolution. Until September. Then I tried again. But this time I had help. I went Cold Turkey but had on-line support from QuitNet. I have been free of nicotine for 102 Days!!! I didn't think I could do it!.
If you are thinking of quiting in 2010 give QuitNet a try. They have a very good success rate. Quitting smoking can be done!!!!!!! I know that for a fact. Do it for yourself, your children, your grandchildren, your spouse, for your cat, for your dog, because Barack Obama hasn't been able to. JUST DO IT!
This year I have a new resolution. This year I plan to lose 2 dress sizes. Or about 50 lbs (22.67 kg). If I can quit smoking, I can lose a few pounds. What is your resolution?

I don't make new year resolutions Katie. I would just break them, ha.
Happy New Year.

Like Debbie, I just don't make resolutions. It is too depressing to make them.
Hey, fascinating on how you have quit. I think you are definetly free of the habit now, although maybe not free of the urges. I've heard that takes a few years. I have never smoked and haven't faced this challenge but I know it is monumental.
Happy, happy New Year findalis.
I am not going to call it a resolution, per se, Findalis, but I will be thrilled to follow in your footsteps. Two dress sizes? That equals 50 pounds? Oh my. I'll be happy with a dress size. Not that I couldn't stand to lose two, but even one would be significant. Two? I'd be back to my pre-happiness weight. Oooh. [Squeal of delight!!!]
@Sabra. I gained 50 lbs quitting smoking (2 dress sizes). That is what the scale said to me (and my wardrobe). Results may vary in each case.
