I feel sorry for the new year resolutioners..

Ah, I got it, now.
Just checked OP's other posts. It all makes sense, now.
Summary: makes thread asking for opinions; gets opinions that don't match up with what OP wants; OP states that she is going to do it anyway; OP makes new thread because she completely either misunderstood or didn't care (maybe both) what the other posters from previous thread actually posted.0 -
OP, you have been one of the most judgemental people on this thread and on threads in your history, so I don't know what you are trying to pull (unless you just want attention). I am getting a good laugh, so thanks for that! You sould maybe practice what you preach, maybe people would take you serious.
Truth is MOST (not all) people who make resolutions do fail. That is the harsh reality.0 -
While I am sire that you think that your 9 posts here qualifies you to take the moral high ground
Post-count is a measure of morality... gotta love the internets!
Strong avoidance of context. Oh look, less than 100 posts too.0 -
The majority of them will fail. That's just a reality. Does that mean they get less support from me? No, but I think someone waiting for a start date to change their life already has the wrong attitude going in.
A few years before I met my husband he started a New Years resolution to lose weight. He lost over 50 pounds and has kept it off to this day. There is nothing wrong with resolutions. Quit being such a hater.
It's not being a "hater". It's fact; the majority of those who start a new year's resolution to lose weight will fail.
This, and I love how everyone is missing the word MAJORITY. Yeah, there are some resolutioners that are successful. That's awesome, and I applaud you! But statistically speaking, the MAJORITY fail. Geez...0 -
I like having a start date for something...makes it fun, gears you up, preps you IMO. I had a New Years' Resolution a few years back to run my first 5K. I stuck with it, and now run at least 3 a year. So there, haters.

I really do not understand why everyone is so concerned with the success/failure of others. Your journey to health is yours. Focus on that. Everyone has that event/time/feeling/thought that happens when they decide to change their lives. And for some that occurs when they reflect on the past year and come to the realization that they could have been happier had they just not eaten that pie/chip/whatever. Yes, a lot of them will fail, but many people who start in Feb, or July, or October or any other month also fail. Weight loss is hard. Who cares how someone gets started, this community is about support. No one should think they are better than anyone else just because they started their journey on their own without jumping on the resolution band wagon. And no one should feel like they are not wanted here because they decided to make their 2014 better than their 2013. And no, I am not a "resolutioner." I have been on here a long time, and I am starting over, once again because I get to be the maid of honor at a friend's wedding in March and dress shopping was not the most fun experience. Like I said, weight loss is hard. MFP helps to make it easier. No one should be denied this awesome tool. Resolution newbies, and everyone else, feel free to add me

This.........I am starting my new bulking diet on Monday because well, its MondayNo, but I think someone waiting for a start date to change their life already has the wrong attitude going in.0 -
I will support them just as much as I support everyone else.
In! For continued and still very, very marginal "support".0 -
this thread is hilarious.
OP and supporters are getting hypothetically butthurt about hypothetical slights aimed at hypothetical resolutioners, who by definition, are not even on this site yet.
:laugh:
go home hypothetical MFP, you're drunk. 0 -

Everyone on here seem to be expecting them all to fail! Surely you should cut out your judgmental horrible personalities and support anyone who joins here, anyone who succeeds or fails.
That's a very judgemental post.
was thinking the same thing.0 -
Some people like to think that they're better than other people. It helps them get out of bed in the morning. I say we let them have it, OP.
Ironic post, considering your username.
Oops. You must not be a "morning person". :flowerforyou:0 -

Why it's better to pick ANY other time of the year to make a defining decision in your life:
A 2007 study by Richard Wiseman from the University of Bristol involving 3,000 people showed that 88% of those who set New Year resolutions fail, despite the fact that 52% of the study's participants were confident of success at the beginning. Men achieved their goal 22% more often when they engaged in goal setting, (a system where small measurable goals are being set; such as, a pound a week, instead of saying "lose weight"), while women succeeded 10% more when they made their goals public and got support from their friends.
This study only has 8% of people as successful at their new year's resolution: http://www.statisticbrain.com/new-years-resolution-statistics/

Really? Wow! How on earth did we all get thrown into that same box, OP?0

Why wait till Jan 2014?
Only you can make that change in your life and most implement these resolutions to better themselves; only YOU can make that change, no one else.
Mistakes are a way of reassuring yourself that you're human and should make your ability capacity increase from 100%-500% because you may have to work that extra harder (but at least you did right)?
My philosophy. Create the self awareness and hard work manifests results.0 -

While I am sire that you think that your 9 posts here qualifies you to take the moral high ground, some of us actually dedicate dozens of hours per week helping people around here.
So unless you're willing to educate yourself and share that knowledge with others on a regular basis, you've no room to judge others.
In reading her posts, it's quite likely this is at least her 10th account, so maybe she's been here for a really long time, just keeps waiting for Mondays, 1sts of the month, and Jan 1sts to come around. At which time she creates a whole new account. My mind is boggled!0 -
evidence also suggest that "meanies" "haters" etc are also in the running.Some people like to think that they're better than other people. It helps them get out of bed in the morning. I say we let them have it, OP.

And has done nothing for anyone on any account.0 -
This^I usually don't wait to start something, but different things work for different people.
I actually do have a resolution this year - and that's to keep doing what I've been doing and move closer to my goal.0 -

Oh I'm mega important, don't you worry.
It was tongue in cheek BTW.
Geez. People can be such asshats.I like having a start date for something...makes it fun, gears you up, preps you IMO. I had a New Years' Resolution a few years back to run my first 5K. I stuck with it, and now run at least 3 a year. So there, haters.

And no, I didn't read the whole thread...my apologies. I was just agreeing with the OP, which I believe I'm entitled to do.
