Fresh outlook in their New Year resolutions
From losing weight to ban on credit card
With 2017 around the corner, the Rutherglen Reformer turned its attention to New Year resolutions.
Just days after locals tucked into turkey, Christmas pudding, chocolate and wine, they are already vowing to kick their bad habits in 2017.
Top of the list for 2017 is apparently to lose weight, join the gym, and stay healthy.
But many Burnside shoppers told the Reformer New Year promises were made to be broken.
Caroline Pye said: “It’s a new year and a new beginning, but I don’t set any resolutions now.
“Before it was always the same ones, I’m going to get fit, lose weight, not use my credit card.”
Isabel Moffatt said it was the over indulgence of Christmas that makes people think about New Year’s resolutions. “I used to set them sometimes,” she said. “The one everyone wants to do is lose weight and stop eating so much, everyone sets that every year.”
James Sweeney confessed: “I never keep them. It’s always to lose weight and get fit. “It’s all the overindulgence at Christmas. “Never again is the most communicated saying least observed.”
Pensioner David Robertson sees the New Year with more humour than most. He told the Reformer: “I hope to live till next year. I’ll be 90 in March.
“I hope I’m able to continue bowling next year at Burnside Bowling Club.”
