Our New Years Resolutions

Greetings to all;

Were just beginning the second month of the New Year, and it is unfortunate that some of us have already abandoned our 'Resolutions.'
Not to worry, this happens every year to most of us, but it doesn't mean we should give up!
I personally decided to set a series of goals for myself this year, starting off with what I consider my most serious issue. But get this, I didn't even try to start on January 1st. It was only about 3 week ago when I began to put forth the effort.
Eating during the middle of the night! Yep, that's right. I wake up in the middle of the night and after a visit to the bathroom [pardon me, but it's true] I head straight for the kitchen. Pop-tarts, cookies, potato chips, or leftovers. They are all fair game!
Sad but true.
You see for most of the month of December someone in the house had a cold or Flu-like symptoms except for myself. I had been so careful avoiding the type of contact that passes these viruses on. Alas finally I started to feel Sinus pressure and... well I ended up with a scratchy throat/dry cough. I actually went a full 24 hours without eating anything. I finally forced myself to eat a little something & for the next 2 days I hardly ate Anything, especially at Night. Wow! I was onto something.
Armed with 3 whole nights under my belt I began to make a conscious effort to to eat anything when I awoke during the night. I must admit I was doing great and was very proud of myself until,... You guessed it. Last night I slipped. When I got up around 5am I also grabbed a handful of Cheetos. [bummer]
I had been reproaching myself all-day-long for slipping, but I have also realized that sometimes we slip even more than once. I can't let it stop me, permanently now can I? Tonight when I awaken I simply remind myself, [as I have had to do for the past week] not to eat anything. Lay back down and go back to sleep.
Wish me luck!

Peace,
Loko, Queen of The Night
