⭐⭐ New year Resolutions - What do you want to achieve in 2024? ⭐⭐

[Pepper-Mint]

My only goal is to work on eating/exercising! I am not great with food and my weight is starting to really bother me. If anyone has tips, let me know! I struggle majorly with energy and with being hungry... I can't stand the sensation of hunger.

It might not be helpful, but the best thing I can say is to avoid "dieting" and the "health market." A lifestyle change slowly over time will do you better than just trying to shed pounds just to always have the yo-yo effect for years to come, especially if hunger/energy are already your issues. If the time will pass either way, it might as well be spent improving in some way.
In my opinion, especially with hunger, having a lot of options for snacking/grazing and addressing the feeling but with lower calorie versions of things, and trying to incorporate foods to have in-between less healthy snacks (like drinking water between alcoholic drinks) is a great place to start and work on. Reduced fat dairy options are good to not lose the taste but reduce calories, and there's breads and pastas that are lower in calories as well. Idk about you but I just never cook, so I look for pouch/can/frozen/etc. things that are high in protein and carbs while still being moderate in calories for full meals.
And staying hydrated... of course, hehe.
As far as exercise goes, the thing that helped me in the past was just knowing different bodies have different capabilities and doing something is always better than nothing, even if it's stretching to maintain flexibility and nothing else.
These were things I kept in mind back when I was actually healthy before I let myself go by choosing a different lifestyle that Was Not It.
I wish you the best and hope you can get more information and help!

Edit: I just noticed you have Glitter & Gold on your bar. Immaculate choice.

Honestly my goal for this year is to spend less. I'm a serial shopaholic, and I sometimes can't stop myself from buying things, especially stuff I don't need. So 2024 is my year to re-evaluate what I buy, and what I need and don't need.

For me, its to find a job that I will love and enjoy. Then STAY THERE lol
I had a job I loved, but sadly lost it due to my MLOA. I hope to go back and stay there for good!

That actually does help!! Thank you - I know these things, or I've heard them before, but it's good to hear people's experience with them, especially if it works!

(and yeah, barns courtney makes bangers lol)

That's very relatable! I also want to do the same, it's a tough job market out there right now, but I know you can do it!

Yeah yeah exercise lose weight yeah yeah very stereotypical of me.

I also want to have a full-time job by the end of 2024. Currently waiting on an application I put in for a job I really want - it's a state job, so the process is probably gonna be slow.

My main goals:
Advance in my career (working towards getting a company vehicle as that's an important value for me)
Keep the weight off (lost 60kg in the last year and a half so aiming to keep it that way)

Spoil the hell out of my husband because he's just been amazing the last year and been by my side always

[♥ lint ♥]

serious top goals:
1. start dating, make serious attempts to find a significant other
2. find a decent paying job after graduating, regardless of how much it utilizes my degree (masters in psychology)
3. eat more mindfully, limit eating after dinner to special occasions

smaller goals:
1. FINALLY finish breaking bad
2. beat all mainline metal gear solid games
3. read 12+ novels

Ooo I relate to your serious goals. I'm super anti social and introverted, but not shy lol so I struggle with just having the interest or capacity to actually pursue anything. My friends want me to get on dating apps and what not, but I just lack the social energy to meet strangers and hope one of them are great lol. I did meet a guy at work that I like a lot, but I'm not sure if it makes sense to pursue. We'll see what happens next year lol.
The third one too...man, I spend so much eating out because I succumb easily to my team who likes to go out to eat at lunch. My manager intentionally doesn't bring lunch because his argument is that, if he does, he will just stay in his office and eat, so this way he will at least get out of the office. Since my goals are mostly fitness related, I need to actually get in the habit of cooking more to track my nutrition.

Good luck on your goals!!

Oh yeah gov't jobs take a while. Another way in that can be easier is looking into temp agencies. That's how I got my full time job when I started at a public university. My friend temp'd for a state gov't agency here in California and got hired. It's nice because you get to learn about how the work is and then if you apply for the open position, you're basically already an internal candidate.
Good luck!

I'm about to be in my 30s but I still have never gotten my driver's license. oops

I took the written test and got my permit but then the covid shutdown happened and I never got a chance to take the driver's test. Then I just kept putting it off.
tbh I'm afraid of driving so that's why I've always put it off

but I'm going to be having kids soon and I know I need to know how to drive and be legally able to

My goal is to be a more active person! I find myself being a couch potato or at the computer a lot, and I'd like to change that. I got an apple watch recently, and it's really helped me with being more mindful of my steps and going for walks. It is much needed since I work in an office which is mostly just sitting unless I need to go to the printer :'c My jobs before this one were a lot more physical, and I never noticed that that's how I was keeping in shape until working in an office for a while :p
