The New Year Resolution Syndrome (mean post I)

For the past three days I have been going to the PEC (Queen's Gym) and Library to study for my upcoming exams. I have been going to the PEC since last January (New Year resolution) so that people (*cough* Kwan and Edmond *cough*) won't be able to make fun of my small arms anymore. My workout partner and I were doing the usual but all of a sudden we found that we actually had to wait for equipment... for several turns!!! This not only put a hiccup in our routines but it just sucks to have to wait for even a 12 pound dumbell (just as an example... I don't use that...) We were pissed because we never had to wait for anything in PEC. Then I realized that this is due to the new year resolutions everyone made. "This year I am going to lose 5 pounds." "This year I am going to lose 20 punds." "This year I will stay healthy." "This year I'll look hot"... etc. People give it up. You know who you are and you are going to stop coming to gym after a week or two. While you are pumping your biceps with dumbells you are probably thinking about candy bars and chips inside your head. So just quit while you can. Otherwise you will feel more guilty about not keeping your new year resolution after a month. Then you will feel depressed and eat more to indulge. In the end, you will become obese so DO YOURSELF A FAVOUR AND STOP HOGGING THE BENCH!! The same goes to the library goers... IF YOU WANT TO USE MSN, JUST GO HOME TO YOUR COMPUTER. LEAVE THE SEATS TO THE PEOPLE WHO REALLY NEED THEM! I am so brutally blunt sometimes...

haha, someone seems bitter??
as a fellow health care professional, shoudn't we all about health promotion?? 1-2 weeks of exercise is better than none, is it not? Also, if 2 our of 25 ppl who made new resolutions keep them, shouldn't we be happy for them?
haha, dont worry gavo you'll get your bench
