How I did it
How to eat healthier and lose weight
It took me
4 months
It made me
confident

How I did it: I just started exercising more and once it became part of my daily routine I enjoyed it and didn't like missing any days.  I didn't make it a rule, I just did what I could and most days I wanted to do more.  I also got used to watching my calorie/fat intake and just became more conscious of what I was eating.For exercise I just did aerobics and a lot of walking.  The most significant change in my eating habits was eating le… Read how I did it…

How to learn to let go of people.
It took me
30 years
It made me
peaceful

How I did it: I just had to learn and accept a few things about people.  They may not feel the same way I feel about them, or love me as much as I want them to.  Once I understood that they never will, I was able to accept it.  I wasted a lot of time trying to get love and acceptance from family members and friends who used to be a part of my life.  But that time can be spent with the people who have chosen to be a part of my life today.

How to give away things I dont need
It took me
1 month
It made me
charitable

How I did it: I dumped ALL of my clothes onto the bed and sorted them.  I bagged up the clothes that don't fit, and all of the clothes I don't wear anymore, and took them to Goodwill.  I also put away the off season clothes, and now I have more room for new clothes.  It's about time I updated my wardrobe! :) Read how I did it…

Garden for wildlife
So I can enjoy it even at home 2 months ago

I can’t do as much where I’m living now, but at some point in my life I hope to have a home with a big yard. I love doing yard work and gardening, and I’d like to attract wildlife, such as butterflies, birds, squirrels and amphibians. A pond would be nice too! _

Keep a journal of my most memorable days
And throw away old calendars! 5 months ago

I have a list of dates for the major events in my life, but I know there are more things I can add. I’ve kept a few old calendars as well, so I want to go through them and make one big list. Then keep it going! I’m going to use the journal Bobby gave me for my birthday. I’ve also been working on decorating it! _
