Fake resolutions?

[pegkerr]

sdn suggested here that rather than making New Year's resolutions (a set up for guilt and failure), we make fake resolutions, to let ourselves off our particular hooks. I'm not exactly clear what she meant by this, but here are mine, quite tongue in cheek:I will go to every sparring class and get through them without getting winded or bursting into

Fun idea! ::off to write some of my own::

Hoo. . . . I'll find my ass without a roadmap and a flashlight?

i like yours. to me, a fake resolution is something you know you would never actually do -- like "i'm going to go to the gym every single morning at 7a." in other words, ridiculously stringent and virtually impossible unless one got a personality transplant.

some people have posted stuff that's so unlike them it makes me crack up laughing. i guess a fake resolution is whatever one wants it to be.

I find the fake resolutions hilarious in part because they read so much like some people's real resolutions even though they mostly boil down to "and...I will become a completely different person! the kind of person who LIKES to get up at 5 a.m. and exercise every day without fail!"

I don't know . . . the last one sounds accomplishable . . .
