2013:  20 Funny New Year's Resolutions

When it comes to New Year's resolutions, our family members and friends can get quite creative and even funny with what they resolve to do in the New Year.  Here a few good ones I have heard along the way...Oh, and a few of my own!

1.  I resolve to stop procrastinating about procrastinating!

2.  I will stop sending Facebook messages and emails to my loved ones when they are in the same room as I am!

3.  I will use my treadmill for something other than a place to hang my jacket.

4.  I will not sit at the kitchen table in my PJ's all day.  Instead, I will move my computer to my bedroom.

5.  I vow to never take a laxative and a sleeping pill on the same night!

Hi my MA OH friends,

I live in Webster, MA, which is on the border to CT. I would love to have contact either via email or via OH or via phone with anyone living in my area or close by. My goal is to have a once a month meeting with all the VSG or other bariatric surgery people who would like to share and exchange ideas and thoughts along their journey.

I think we can all benefit from sharing and might make a friend or two along the way. Who's with me?

Hugs,

Rita

Topic: 3 year journey picture. Interesting.

My journey through my niece Eliza's last 3 birthdays. We have taken a pic at her 13th, 14th and now 15th birthday party. The first photo I was before surgery at my heaviest which was 311 lbs, the second photo was when I was 5 months post op weighing around 200 lbs and the final photo is me now at 17 months post op weighing 145 lbs. We have both changed so much. She is turning into a woman as I turn into the woman I always was/wanted to be underneath the extra weight. What an amazing journey!
