In the past, I have always considered everyone elses feelings, wants, needs and desires first. I've made it easy for my Family and Friends to put me in a comfy little niche, where the can ignore me, untill they need me.

This year I will put myself first, for a change, and not let them forget about me. Whether I can participate or not, I wish to be included and not forgotten or put aside. No more nice quiet little gimp.

What are you going to do different, this year, to help make your life a little better?

Next......

That sounds like a great plan, Sal! Make some waves this New Year!!!

I'm going to get organized, lose weight, same old stuff.

No more Ms Nice Guy Crip! DH and kids expect it. Did not share my chocolates from BD with others. They're mine and good and expensive and not a lot of them. I'm tired of sharing and getting nothing back. Went out for lunch on Sunday. Gave none of my ribs away. They were delicious. the corn fritters and fries too.

hehe
well good idea, Taking care of ME will help me take care of the family! I want to get some physical exercise in each day, helps my mood, and body thru this crap!! so either walks or yoga each day... for me!!

and trying to snuggle the kids more, and remember that each day goes by is gone for good, so to focus on the family more than the work stuff from work!! yeahhhhh sarah

Im with sal pal! no more Ms Nice girl.

I will no longer put others first. this is the year of ME ME ME! the DH is scared that he is gonna have to do alot more work this year. yep! its coming.

SallyC that is a good plan and you stick to it!!

Last year I did just that. I started putting ME first and it is great. Now my family is much better about it.

This year I am working on something for myself again (aren't I the selffish one?). I'm learning how to eat properly. And not just with utensils. I'm learning what is good for me to eat, how much to eat and how to eat in moderation. Changes that will stick with me for the long haul. I started this in December and so far so good.

Weight loss...as difficult as it is for me, that's the goal for the year.
Wish I had the nads to demand more help with the inlaws, but I don't...maybe next year?

I am also going to put me and my health first this year. Last year was a bad year for me. I put everyone and everything before me I would push myself to hard and ignored signals to slow down.

I let people take advantage of me and take me for granted. Not This year Friends. I have grown a back bone. and have learned from my mistakes.

Yep 2010 will be the year for Beth

Amen!!!

Kinda like you said, Sal. Not to sound selfish, but me first. Nobody else is gonna comb my hair or do my make up and I'm tired of walking around looking like a Halloween decoration.

I'm more important than the dust bunnies, the dirty clothes, the dishes. Maybe there's not much I can do about the pain, but if I can't feel all that great, at least I can try to look presentable even if just for me.

I'm going to put myself together every day, unless I don't feel like it. Gonna feed myself decent food, make my surroundings nice, pleasant to look at, functional for me and peaceful for me and my pets. Prioritize, me, then the critters, and everything else after that.

Inject a little fun into the day whether it's a good show, a good book, a good talk on the phone. When it's nice out, I'm going out, not stuck here cleaning, fixing, painting, working.



I want to lose that 20lbs I gained last year, but it's not gonna be easy. I keep living by the *No Carb left behind* motto.
