I usually stick to the same old resolutions each year: be more environmentally friendly and get organized.
Those don't usually pan out the way I'd like them to. The reusable water bottle is used for about three months and I slowly stop using my file folder that I spent so long picking out. This year, I decided on a new goal...be a peace with myself.
I haven't always been easy on myself. That is an understatement. I have been more harsh on myself and abused myself mentally more than anyone ever could. I have called myself names like: fat, stupid, ugly, undeserving, boring, fat, oh and did I mention stupid and fat? Years and years of battling bulimia and binge eating left my mind broken, my body weary.
I resolve to be at peace with wherever I am at the moment. If I am five pounds overweight, so be it. If I do somewhat poorly on an exam, life goes on. Life isn't about judging ourselves, it's about living the best life we can possibly live.
