With 2009 quickly approaching, do you guys have any resolutions for the year?
Mine are:
1) Cut back computer time - I've already started doing this as you guys can probably tell (I'm not online as often)
2) Improving my social interaction by meeting new people, again I've improved on this quite well since the start of the school year, but I still need to work on this.
3) Straighten my teeth out by starting orthodontics. I've been due to get braces for nearly five years now and I have still yet to get them.
-
1. Cut back on computer time
2. Lose weight
3. Do more Schoolwork
4. Overcome fear of playing music in front of family
-
1. Get my driver's license, or AT LEAST my permit
2. Become more social and open
3. GAIN weight (yeah, you heard me right)
4. Overcome my fear of talking to the girl I 'like' :P
-
1. Overcome my fear of talking to the girl I like (must be a guy thing! :rofl: )
2. Work on being more comfortable with myself
3. GET A JOB
4. Get a car
5. Move out.
That about sums it up. :biggrin:
-
I don't "do" resolutions, but I would like to make a little extra money this year.
-
I only have one this year...
Get into and attend a college that i've applied to.
-
1. Do Better in school (a 4.17 GPA doesn't cut the mustard)
2. Hopefully get a job
3. Being more optimistic
4. Not letting small things become a huge deal
-

That's sick.

I think numbers 1 and 4 go hand in hand. :yes:

Do you mean "That's sick" as in "That's disgusting" or as in "That's cool"?
-

That's sick.
Do you mean "That's sick" as in "That's disgusting" or as in "That's cool"?
Or maybe as in "How can that not be good enough!". :D

I'm planning to get my permit sometime next year, but as for your fear of talking to the girl you 'like', maybe in this case, I feel the same way as you, so maybe what if that girl rejects you or something, that's probably one reason I wouldn't prefer telling that one girl I like "I like you" or something. Either way, do what's best for you. Just giving you advice.

I may be doubting myself. Even as a sophomore, I am thinking about colleges and getting admitted into them.

I don't know about Derek, but in my case, that describes my problem to a T. I have so many doubts its not even funny. What if she laughs? What if she thinks I'm ugly? What if she already HAS a boyfriend? What if she just blows me off? I'm just afraid that I'll be humiliated or rejected. :ninja:

You're joking? :blink: Why do you want to gain weight!? :o You're better keeping it off!
-
I agree with Vic. Derek, you don't need to gain weight. Don't take this the wrong way, but when you posted your picture awhile back, I was stunned at how great you looked. I couldn't believe how much weight you shed. Your not too thin. And why take a chance on putting on TOO MUCH weight. Once you start putting pounds back on, you'll end up back where you were before you know it.

When was Derek ever fat? :huh:

That's why I don't deal with women. :rofl2:

Yeah it doesn't make sense coming this far with hard work to lose weight and then gaining it back. :no:
-
My only resolutions is to get my learner's permit, find a job, and gain about 10 or 15 pounds, I been at 115 lbs for 18 months now, I'm underweight!

Not so long ago I would have said the same thing. But eventually you reach a point where need and want the companionship of a woman. Being alone isn't all its cracked up to be.

I'd like to get my permit this year. Need to get lessons.

Oh nooo. That would be down the road a ways. I'm just talking about fulfilling the need for pleasure and human affection that all men and women have. There are only two ways to do that, and, well, ain't nothing like the real thing. :biggrin:

-Get my college stuff straightened out
-Get into SHAPE (loose a few pounds, gain a little mussel)
-Continue balancing personal/work/school life.
Pretty much it.
Mike- braces are COMPLETELY worth it. I've been going to the orthodontist for 9..almost 10 years. I've gone a week and a half without a retainer...and my teeth have already moved around. I get my new retainer Monday.
Good luck with getting braces, though :D

Actually, it's not my choice anymore. My parents, my doctor, and nearly everyone I know says that I have to gain weight. Apparently, now I'm actually underweight (I honestly cannot believe it). I look a heck of a lot different now compared to how I looked in that picture. And believe me, I'm not thrilled about doing this at all. :no:

Well...if the doctor says your underweight you better listen I suppose. You just have to be careful-if your prone to weight gain, you could end up gaining too much.

Doctors just want money.

Ditto, I learned that the hard way. <_<

The immaturity of some people is amazing. :rolleyes:

I had a similar occurance back in 2003-04. In mid 03, I was 130 pounds at 5'3" and age 11, which I thought was a little too much (I looked a bit pudgy too). So I started loosing weight, and by the end of August 2004 I was down to 99 pounds at 5'7", which makes a BMI index of 15.5 (that's way underweight). I started gaining after that, though carefully. Now I'm holding steady around 170 at 6'1"ish, which is near normal.
-
1. Do better in school
2. lose A TON OF WEIGHT!!!
I am only 12, and weigh 120ish pounds. I dont like it to be honest... :cry3:
-
Mike, you should've left well enough alone to begin with. You were young and not nearly done growing. You would've grown into that weight easily.
Me, I'm still around 120 and I'm 5'9" and 23 years old. Thing is, I'm built pretty small, so even though I only weigh 120 I don't look terribly thin. Even if I am a little underweight, I'm content. Gaining weight has proven difficult for me, even on the kind of food I eat. I just have a very high metabolism. That, and I've always been very active. As quickly as I take calories in, I burn them right back off.

Lucky you! It looks like I have a toung on my stomach! I HATE THAT THING! I've been trying to get rid of it for years but just wont! :angry: :cry:

even with eating Wendy's for lunch every day (or so it seems from your blog posts) you're not gaining weight? :blink: even my fast metabolism is beginning to deminish and I'm only 19 :(

I'm the exact same way - metabolism off the charts.

That's not overweight at all. When I was 11 I was 130 pounds, and was probably only just slightly overweight. Keep in mind that being overweight or underweight also depends on your height, not just your age. I was pretty tall even during my later elementary school years so I was probably a bit heavier than the average 10-11 year old, but not necessarily overweight.

Yep, even with that. I guess it has at least a LITTLE to do with WHAT I eat. I usually get the chicken nugget combo, so I'm betting that there are FAR unhealthier things on the menu then that.

I need to lose weight. I don;t know how I'm gaining weight if I'm barely eating. And I take a walk every morning.

You know something, that's a good point, What if she says that to you? I feel that it may happen, so it's very hard to overcome that fear. I've been forced to talk to many girls, and ask them out, but I was very nervous and shy to ask them, plus I didn't even feel comfortable when I was forced.

That's probably your problem right there. Strangely enough, I've heard that when you DON'T eat, you can actually end up gaining weight. :yes:

Most likely because of your body's cravings. Also when you don't eat, it's important not to overeat another meal. Eating a large meals after skipping lunch or breakfast isn't wise, as you can quickly gain those calories and pounds.

I'm going to lose me some weight myself :yes:
