What's your word... 2010??

My word is NEW - this is the year of the new and well, and fixed and not getting sick -working like a charm - ME -- OK now that it is in writing, it must be true!!!!!!  Thanks Paige - great ideal

             SURVIVE and THRIVE

I could pick MANY of these, but to chose one would have to pick BALANCE.  I've got to get more balance into my life allowing me more time to work out consistently and not give up things I love...

My drive is killing me and travel ramps up in January so I spend a lot of time out of town which wouldn't be so bad except I work really long hours...

So, balance it is :)   Thank you!

I looked through the list several times and a few stood out for me, but I kept coming back to APPRECIATE.  So that is my word for 2010.  To appreciate all the blessings in my life, my weight-loss success, my healthier body, my family - all of it.  A close second was SAVOR - savor the moments and take time to stop and smell the roses!

I really enjoyed reading all the words and comments! My word is FORWARD! I will not go back in anyway shape or form! I will not go back to Pre-op thinking about my weight loss or reasons why I eat. Food is not my friend or soother! I will not let it be! I will not go back to "being on a diet" way of thinking! This is the "first day of the rest of my life" and I did not have this surgery to dishonor it ! I will not go back! Only forward in 2010!

"I will not go back to "being on a diet" way of thinking! This is the "first day of the rest of my life" and I did not have this surgery to dishonor it !"

I like that! I haven't chosen a word yet but I love this thinking, it fits me amd my place right now.

I'm definitely going with ---DOWNSIZE

PAIGE-I LOVE LOVE LOVE this!!! If you have time, maybe you could keep a running list of everyone's name beside "their" word/words.

Since MY word was not on your list   *CRAP*  I had to pick another one. I put alot of thought into it, and I picked:

FREEDOM

I want 2010 to be the year I choose FREEDOM from whatever is holding me back from various goals in my life-weight related and otherwise

I will play.

My word is Affirmation:

I choose to make positive healthy choices for myself and to exercise regularly

Two words keep jumping out at me. Perseverance and Transformation.

I'm going to need perseverance to stay on plan, follow all the rules and instill good habits that will serve me for life. I have been proud so far that I have followed the rules to the letter and I feel like I'm learning good habits, so far. I fully intend to continue that this year

This is my year of transformation. In 3 months I've already seen a big transformation in not only my body shape but in the shape of my mind. I think and feel differently now than I ever have towards healthy eating and living. Whether that is because I'm still in the 'glow' of this journey or not, only time will tell. But I'm looking forwad to the transformations my mind and body will make this year. And hopefully this time next year I can report being at goal. and maintining there.
