2011, The Year Of...

September 05 2011

... for me, 2011 has been the year of giving up. I mean, not in a bad way, I was just tallying this morning all the things I've "sacrificed" this year, for one reason or another. Smoking, carbs (including chocolate!!!), casual sex, and now alcohol. I've had a reason for each, and for every "thing" I've given up, I've gained much, much more. Quitting smoking SUCKED but the persistent chest infection is gone. My body operates alot better for not having the carbs and my weight is slowly dropping, too. Sex.. well, I've chosen quality over quantity. And alcohol just has to go, it's having a detrimental effect on other things that matter to me. So my question is... what have YOU discarded this year?

You go girl. I too have given up carb rich foods, sweets, alcohol, caffeine and try to eliminate processed sugars. Last one difficult as they're in most things we eat. Smoking is easy after a year. Hang in there! Sounds like you've had an awakening and are on a path to true happiness. Empirical

I gave up smoking six years ago I gave up alcohol completely for twenty years and now I rarely indulge Most (but not all) of my diet is totally organic and fresh. That only leaves sex, chocolate and icecream........ not gonna happen! I think I will just take something up instead. I started working with a killer of a PT a few weeks ago so I could give up putting on the dreaded middle aged spread. Maybe I can take up going to the gym more often to compensate for the chocolate and icecream.

Bratzilla! Now we know why you were so in to that chocolate fight over at Meekas forum thread hehe.What have I sacrificed this year? Hmm, not much really but there have been a lot of changes and most for the better. My view on swinging has changed a lot. I have figured out what I like and don't like and what it is I want and why I want it. This means, I have upped my standards and become much pickier about who I spend my time with.I have a fantastic job working for fantastic people and I think at 32, finally I have grown up in certain ways...there is still a way to go yet but it feels good to be on the right track :)xx Salina

Quoting 'eagertongue4u' giving up - shyness - inhibitions - taking verbal abuse from the angry spouse reinforcing - looking after myself more - nurturing my young son and teaching him correct life values ET xox I've been trying to discard my shyness for years but it's an ongoing process and totally definitely *not* there yet... but it's getting there... *selflessness* I guess can be added to my list, too... particularly the part of me that does anything for anyone but never anything for me... I'm getting there with that one, too

Flicked a high-end corporate job to go into private practice...the whole diversified financials sector in Oz needs and overhaul so I left and much happier for it. | Changed a few bad eating habits and started pushing the weights around again. Hard to find the time but it relieves the stress and dropping a few inches in the wrong places. | Taken on a very calculated and well-measured plan to grow another business and have been fortunate enough to surround myself with some of the best folks in the game who are now good friends. | I think I have given up on sleeping...it's highly overrated and I can do that after I'm dead. | I'm having more fun, I'm still a virgin and really enjoying being so shy and humble. | Some of that...is true.

Christmas is not that far off...I was bullshitting hoping that Santa is a member here. Seriously he must want to come more than once a year, right? The elves don't count...they work for free. | Fuck it...Santa if you're here, deliver this year or there will be a reindeer bar-b-que on boxing day. I am as corrupt as ever but you owe me.
