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!

I was looking through my messages and none of them have all the info in one lol.  Send an email to her and ask to be added to her email list for reminders.

 

[email protected] subject: WBJC meeting

 

Hope to meet you soon!

 

Clueless about weight loss and weight loss surgery of any kind.

Hi Sarah,

 

There is a great support group that meets at the hospital in Warrenton.  I believe the fourth Saturday of the month at 6:30pm in the Cafeteria/Bistro. I think that would be closer to you than Culpeper.  I try to make it there after I get off work at Curves.  I was going to try to start a group in Culpeper, but..... not much interest.

Anyway, let me know if that interests you and I will get you connected with the leader of that group.

I am considering WLS and live up in Jeffersonton.  I would love to meet with other locals.   I cant do it during the day as I work most days. I am off every other Friday and can get together on Saturdays or the occasional evening.

You can try Judy Ratliff in Fairfax, VA. I continued to see her for a few months after my surgery too until the drive got to be too much.
