I really don't do a resolution list every year. I tend to define a goal and figure out how to get there. I do have some guidelines & rules.
For example: a gave up Krispy Kreme donuts, I can have them every 4-6 mo.
Rules: don't eat donuts just b/c I can.
Think about it, walk away, and think some more.
Guidelines: buy as many as you want, eat your donuts and give the rest away.
Result: Majority of donuts don't really taste that great. Eating a special donut becomes a real treat and a sugar shock.
I don't feel bad. My cholesterol has gone down.
