Happy New year, all! I truly hope 2012 brings you all healing and happiness!
Was thinking about this today... are you going to make a New Year's Resolution?
Part of me thinks... why create any extra pressure?
Part of me thinks.. why NOT create the pressure? Perhaps that would be a step in showing the TMS you're not afraid to set goals, despite what it's doing to you?
Or, are resolutions just silly anyway?
Personally, I always sort of liked the opportunity. I try to keep it realistic and something more short term... or at least something that can show some results short-term so it doesn't fade away too quickly.
Love to hear opinions... and even resolutions if you have any...

New Year's resolutions could be a sign of perfectionism (ie I can do better than what I am doing now) as well as a statement of discontent with your current situation, (ie I am unhappy with my weight) both of which put a lot of pressure on the self.
