    I hoped to have a higher average to my bachelor's degree, but eventually got an 86% (kind of like B+). I would have liked it to be closer to 90% (A), and it's too bad I didn't try a little harder to get there.

    Also I'm still unhappy with my job, and I do hope I manage to find something more fitting this year.

    Holy crapola so many. 2012 was not a great year. That said, it ended splendidly and it's a new year so I'm not going to focus on the sucky moments anymore.

    Sorry to be the lone voice in the wilderness here, but 2012 wasn't a disappointment. It was good. And I'm looking forward to 2013 being even better.

    Not losing more weight than I did. My own fault though! I didn't start until April (had surgery last January). I want to reach my goal of 25 more pounds by this April!!

    Apart from crappy time at work (which is still ongoing) my only other issue was I didn't lose the weight I wanted to before I hit 40. I could've done it if I really wanted to, but I guess I used the excuse of stress at work to eat like a pig!

    Anyway, on the whole I enjoyed my year with my family, I try not to let little things like my job interfere with the rest of my life and I'm a pretty positive person. I also gained a very good friend (yes, that's you Sarah!) thanks to MFP which is a lot to be thankful for :happy:

    Biggest disappointment of 2012 was realizing that I was no longer in love with my fiancee (who I'd been with for 3 years), and having to put us both through a lot of emotional pain and eventually a breakup. However, fortunately, we are still on good terms and will always be friends.

    There was also the fact that due to some old roommate drama, I am not allowed over to my best friend's house at all any more except for very rare occasions. Since summer (when I moved out of that house), I have been allowed over twice. It's annoying to be sure, considering I'm friends with 4 people in that house and only 1 has a problem with me, but I'll deal. I'm a mature adult, dammit. :P

    Long runs all Summer on the beach in South Texas:explode: :explode: :explode: to run the Tamarindo Beach Marathon in Costa Rica - 3 days into trip I caught a stomach bug!!! Instead of carbo-loading, I lost 7 lbs. Traveled half way around the world to stay in hotel room eating soda crackers & ginger ale. :sad: :sad: :sad:

    I guess it was hitting my highest weight but then again, that's why I'm here.
    Although, my father worked for Hostess. That was a pretty big disappointment.

    I know, right? We all have our problems but some of the stuff here just makes me really thankful that my year hasn't been nearly as bad in comparison.

    Nothing terrible compared to what some of you guys experienced. I'm really sorry and I hope for all of you that this year will be better.

    My bottom line:

    one failed relationship (including a major disappointment when he made my weightloss a prerequisite for a relationship).
    several dating disasters, but nothing traumatizing
    serious bullying by superiors which almost caused a burnout
    a major fail in my weightloss plan

    Other than that I'm good.

    I think the biggest disappointment (outside of 'weight gain instead of loss', or the persistent 'I have my frickin job' usual stuff) was my vacation in July. I was determined that since I hadn't really spent more than a week every 1-2 years back in Philly that I was gonna use the bulk of my stockpiled vacation time on a month-long trip down with my husband and son in July. Like ALL of July. I was so excited for a chance to re-connect with my 4 brothers and giving my son a chance to REALLY get to know my home and family...

    1. July was miserable, so we didn't get out of my parents' house much
    2. 3 of my four brothers treated the whole thing like I was either a) trying ot add to the family drama, b) deliberately disturbing their lives, or c) a bad dose of medicine that needed to be endured. I only had one brother that was happy to see me and mine.
    3. My husband and I decided to renew our vows in Philly since the only brother of mine that bothered to show for our wedding was the only one that was happy to see me in Philly. Needless to say, the resulting ridiculousness had me in tears for days after. Only 2 of my brothers showed up, and the extra one showed because HIS wife insisted.

    But I've learned my lesson. I refuse to take time and spend money and effort dealing with people that obviously couldn't be bothered. So I informed all of my brothers that I wasn't going back to Philly again until they brought their lazy butts - that have NEVER been to Canada once in the 8 years I've lived here - up. Time for them to put some effort into our relationship, eh?

    As for the rest, 2012 schooled me on a LOT of different fronts. I'm ready to conquer 2013, and I've already started ^_^

    Was a tough year.

    - Started with my cat getting sick, ended up spending $7,000 in vet bills and surgery. For that We will be in debt for a while

    $7,000 on a cat? No....see if it had been me that sentence would read "cat got sick and died"
    There's no way - there's that car you needed

    This thread is beyond depressing
