1. To end the vicious cycle of either sipping on a cocktail or chewing on a Tums.
2. To save $19.99 on Spanx every time I have to maneuver into my one pair of black slacks that still fit me. The reason for buying them repeatedly is that I keep a pair of scissors in my car to cut them right down the belly-seam as soon as the party is over.
3. So I have one less hour of free time on my hands in which to eat and drink with reckless abandon.
4. To put hope back into my doctor’s eyes, who after my last blood work and physical lost all his humor and most of his personality.
5. To replace “Girls Night Out of Debauchery” with a more respectable social function, even if we do have to call it “Fat Chicks go to Weight Watchers”. (And no ladies; we cannot go to Ihop afterwards!)
6. To reduce the noise pollution in my house, i.e. grunting, while dragging my sorry, ample ass up our stairs.
7. To steady my heart, particularly when viewing the holiday photo’s and pondering, “who the fat chick is” before recognizing my own sweater.
8. To be able to get out of bed in the morning without having to walk for the first 3 minutes on my tiptoes while whispering “ow-ow, ow-ow, owwwww”!
9. To lose enough weight so that I can go back to the gym without fear of 9-1-1 being summonsed after just 10 minutes on a cardio machine.
10. Because it is a New Year, a New Decade and God willing… a new me!
Have a happy and healthy New Year everyone; I hope each of you realize your dreams and reach your goals in 2010 and beyond.

Vacillating between the 6:30 and 7:45 A-friggin-M on Saturday. I figure at the 6:30, everyone will have just rolled out of bed to make it and the lines wont be that long. 7:45 is "iffy"; you always have those over-achiever types to deal with who are showered, hair & make-up. Basically "your crazy's". Come on down, you'd keep me honest! cb
