I've decided for my New Year's resolution I would like us to be friends again. I know it's been a rough year and I just think we started off on the wrong foot. Truth is, I need you and you need me. So let's find some common ground and learn to get along again. I realize neither one of us is completely to blame. You shut down on me and then decided to give me an awesome disease that took away all my favorite foods and tested every ounce of self-control I have. It was also a fun trick you pulled to take away my ability to sleep naturally. In return, I thought it would be cool to pump you full of diet coke and candy, not to mention the nightly bowl of ice cream. To punish you even more, I moved all of my work-out clothes to the top shelf. Take that.
I've decided as the new year approaches, I would like to present you with a few ideas to see if we can make this relationship work again...
- If you will give me the energy to do so, I will work out 5 times a week. Remember how good that felt? You were at the top of your game. I can get you there again, I just need a little assistance.
- If you let me feel the benefits from my new dietary restrictions, I will stay completely gluten free. No cheating. Promise.
- If you will keep me going so that I don't need to take "rests" during the day, I will stay active and busy working on great gluten free foods to assist with #2. See how much I'm trying to help you?
- I will only eat sweets once a week. Okay, okay you're right. These need to be realistic. Three times a week. I think I can do that.
- I will religiously take my vitamins and assigned medications. Even the one I have to take bright and early to help heal my innards. You my long lengthy little friends (intestines) will be back to normal in no time.
- If you are on your best behavior, I will avoid visiting the doctor at all costs. No more tests or blood draws. I realize you my little right arm vein buddy are especially worn out. You just are too good looking for your own good. They go straight to you every time.
- Last, if you can turn spinach into Junior Mints I will stop drinking Diet Coke. A girl still needs one guilty pleasure, especially since you've taken away all my favorite foods. It's only fair.
