Still Chubby at Heart
I love resolution season.
I was going to start my resolution early this year. I got this book about how to achieve your goals and it said you need to measure your progress quantitatively rather than just guessing how far along you are. My goal is to lose 10 pounds, so I got a scale to measure the amount I’ve actually lost. I was going to start Friday, enough time to lose Christmas weight but still an accurate measure. But then, Thursday night I had a dream that I stepped on my new scale and it registered, gulp, 248 pounds. Keep in mind, I’m 5-foot-3. Anything more than 150 pounds would be unhealthy, much less 248. So, I postponed the scale until Sunday when I can get an honest start on the new year. I kept my resolution from last year. I was meaning to get more in …

Statistically, I have really bad New Year's Eves. I’ve had 23 so far. Three in high school ended with me staying home in a full-blown pity party. I had friends; my plans just always fell through. One in high school and two in college ended in breakups. OK, they ended in me getting dumped. When I was 9, I stayed up with my parents playing 13 Dead End Drive, a board game like Clue but in which the players kill one another. I promise, it’s really cute and upbeat. This was when I was having night terrors and started talking about killing my parents in the middle of the night.
