Happy New Year

[breakinglight11]

I've been thinking about my New Years resolution and I didn't come up with one until the last minute. I remember last year's was "I resolve to exercise more." And I did that. I excercised a lot, though I got into lapses, I was generally good about it. I was proud of myself for it; that part I'd like to keep up. 

But the companion part to that I'm less proud of. I know everybody wants to watch what they eat and make sure they make healthy choices. And there's nothing wrong with that. But I have a tendency to fixate on food and count every calorie in a way that borders on the unhealthy. Don't get me wrong, I like the way I look and want to stay that way. But it takes up entirely too much space in my brain and makes me worry over something so ultimately trivial that it detracts from the important things I should devote that energy to instead. I don't want to become that girl who doesn't have anything about her except her diet and her workout and her weight. 

So my New Years resolution is to quit worrying so much about what I eat, and devote that wasted energy to something more important.
