A story about a girl who wants to change 12 things about herself… one month a time…
Okay, so I don’t know what I was thinking… but I am sitting here right now at panera bread staring down a damn bag of chips… I really want them. They would make my panera sandwich so much better. It would be all yummy and salty and I didn’t even think about the fact that they would bring me chips with my meal! Ugh! Now what am I going to do here! Okay there is none way to handle this… I could just open the bag and eat the damn things…. that is what I WANT to do…
Okay, this is my first real moment of weakness here… I mean I have wanted things in the past month, but nothing like this! They are sitting right there on my plate…
This is my first test of true willpower. This is what I am working towards here, to change myself and my habits… but I am kind of discovering this is more than just a habit… this is like ingrained in me. To not think about the consequences of an action, but instead to just go for whatever makes me happiest right then.
Deep Breath… I am just going to hand these chips to the Panera guy next time he walks by… wish me luck….
…. I did it! I handed him my chips! I didn’t eat them! I actually made a decision that was good for me and I stuck with it!
ME! I did it! Wow… this is so crazy, I was scared I wasn’t going to be able to do this, but I did!
Snaps to me.

In twelve months I plan to change 12 things about myself. Each month I will pick a bad habit I have and spend the entire month working to change it. At the end of the month I will decide if j want to give up the habit forever or if it just wasn't worth it. Hopefully, at the end of the year I will be able to look back and see reqal improvements in myself. This is a personal experiment, but I plan to share it with everyone else here! Thanks for taking the time to check out my bad habits!

Yay for you for resisting temptation!
There’s more of January in the past than in the future, so keep at it and you’ll be able to cross off that first month!!
