New Year's Resolutions

I always make New Year's Resolutions, and *always* break them. My OCD nature means that if I resolve to save all my loose change, then need to use £2 of it for vending at work, I'll count the whole things as a failure, spend *all* the money, and give up completely. Same with diets - if I have *one* meal out where I eat dessert, I'll give in totally for the rest of the year. So, this year I'm *still* making my resolutions. But there's an extra one, which will be number 1 on the list. Without further ado then, my New Year's Resolutions, 2006:-

1. Don't be so hard on myself. I need to realise that there's a time and a place for everything, and that just because I may *choose* to eat something I shouldn't, or borrow from my change jar, all is not lost.
   
2. Focus on lowering my blood sugar and blood pressure. This one encompasses things like taking my medication every day, drinking enough water, eating low carb as much of the time as I can, and generally cutting out the junk.
   
3. Open a savings account and save monthly, straight from my wages. I won't miss £25 a month, and every little helps.
4. Save my £2 coins. There's already £24 in my terramundi, and I'm not breaking it until August. It's spending money for New York.
5. Try and be a bit more sociable. I'm being really anti-social again at the moment, which is never good.
6. Be me. At this point I'm not sure I actually know who *me* is, but this is the year I'm going to try and find out.
7. Stop worrying so much about what other people think.
   
8. Buy a new bed.
9. Learn more photography techniques and skills.
