Do you make promises to yourself that you never keep?

Promises are to be made for keeping and especially so when these are made for ourselves. If we are unable to fulfil those promises made to ourselves then it amounts to self deceit and in the long run it would be self defeating exercise.

Be that as it may, those who promise with themselves and fulfill them are the people who count in this world of action. They are opinionated people and their viewpoints are respected by all.

I promise I'm not gonna eat this whole chocolate cake with peanut butter frosting on my birthday. Whoop! There goes that promise. I promise I'm gonna workout afterward to make up for it. Whoop! There goes another promise. I promise I'm gonna sit here, veg out and do nothing all day. Wahoo! I achieved one. Third time's a charmer.

Always.
I never break promises I make to others, those I always keep. But a promise to myself I never seem to keep, they seem to be forgotten or put on hold.

Yeah I can't keep promises to myself

I sometimes might do it about myself, but I never break it when I promise people. I kind of value my promises to others more than the ones to myself. Because I might affect their lives by doing so and that's a big responsibility...

No way. I promise myself to never in my life have children, I think I can keep that.

rarely I make promises I know I can keep or don't make them at all.

Very seldom. Before making any sort of promise, to myself included, I always consider whether the promise is something in my gift to grant and whether the knock on effects would be good or bad. That does mean that I don't make many promises in the first place.

Yes. Sometimes.

Yeah I promise myself that I'll lose weight and go to the gym and eat healthier but I'm always so weak minded about it. I also promise that I'll make smarter decisions but I never do

I told myself i would go back to school this fall to take a work experience program but i got a part time job for now (don't know how long its going to last since its experimental) but if i do get let go, i can always go to school next year. i jsut think that going back to school would put a lot of stress on me because of my physical disability (ankylosing spondylitis) so its quite hard for me to work and be on my feet more than a few hours a day without my back and hip ceasing up.

(i already went thru the signup process and interview for school, i did get accepted but i think im going to backout for now, to focus on the job i have)

Not since I promised myself to never again make promises to myself.

I make a promise to myself to excersise but i never do

Yes and I try to keep them

Yes...

Yes

Yep. Like today I decided to promise myself I would become less clingy, irrational, and more independent. So far I'm committed to that, but by the end of the day I know I'm going to cave. I also promise myself I won't eat more than 1500 calories; I started breaking that promise about two weeks ago.

yep all the time!

I'm like Joe Elliott. No.

Always lol

All of the time

Yes sometimes

Yes

Yes

Made a promise not to feel.
But felt it. Again. Time and again.
Why..

sure - like i'm going to start my health regime
tomorrow that is
it's OK i'm big boned and have a thyroid issue-mold too

A promise to myself is something that I hopejust happens with no effort.

Yup
Studying for class

Most of the promises I make to myself I forget :)

Yeah

Yes. I always promise myself I won't go back on this stupid website and I do.

sometimes but i try not to

Yes! Like the promise that I will go to the gym today

I don't keep the majority of the promises I make to myself.

No, I promise ;)

no

never

NO

Yes, all the time

Yeah

Always

sometimes

All the time

Never Ever

Yes, I always do it. Like for instance, 5 days ago I promises myself I would no longer masturbate... Two days later I Masturbated. I wish I could promise myself to stop but I just can't. When I'm playing with my dick I'm totally different person. I wish that different person would just go away already.

Nope

I do. But I won't.

that ill work out and stick to a diet for SURE

Yeah, but some promises we make to ourselves are unrealistic in the first place. Let's say for example I promise myself not to eat cheesecake EVER again in my life, that's a unrealistic promise but I bloody love cheesecake and I could never go on not eating it again. You get me?

Last January I promised myself I would save up a huge amount of emergency cash as my New Year's Resolution. That didn't work out too well.

all the time,
I'm going to start eating healthy
I'm going to start working out
this is the last episode then im going to bed

all th time

Defiantly yes, no matter what we can't always control ourselves and not everything is up to us. Sometimes our promises depend on other factors besides ourselves

No

No.

No

no

Only when it concerns having a proper diet. haha

Many

Yes, like losing weight

ALL the bloody time hahah

Yeo i do

no

My answer is simple(with regrets) Yes!

yes i always make a promisse that i'll quit smoking but i never follow it

If I make them when I'm upset

No

I promised myself that i would stop eating. and .....

Quitting weed

most of the time. So the solution is to stick to it no matter who is trying to knock you to your knees/ground/feet.

I promise to be more confident

Lol, usually

I been promising myself that I would go and run. But when I turn on the TV I just forget it lol.

I try to follow up.

I specialise in that

always

Never!

Yes

Yes, Holly. You have me pegged on that.

Of course

yes

No, if I make a promise to someone or myself I keep come hell or high water

no never ending discipline

I promised myself that i wont b the best answer in this post.

Yes

Frankly

No, mainly because I already know I won't keep them, so there's no point kidding myself.

Yeah a lot of the time

Constantly. If i had a pound for every time i promised myself i would stop eating chocolate or stop f***ing swearing i'd be rich!

Yes!

All the time

Sure do

Yeah I said I'll never give up

No

Yeah.

I promise that I would lose weight ,buy a brand new suv, stop smoking, etc the year is 2016 and still need to work on the promises I made to myself

not as much as i use too

many times

daily..

£10
Pleasure
God
Pain

Thursday

Yes, I often do, but I normally believe that I can

Honestly i do this everyday and its completely natural (at least thats what i tell myself) i just dont have the motivation to follow through with my goals. I would love to lose weight, be more confident...ect but its easier said than done, but then again sometimes you just need to take baby steps.

Ok

Yes,a lot xd

yes a lot.

yes, lose weight

No because I promise myself that I won't keep them.

Sometimes situation demands that we divert ourselves from promises that we made. Otherwise the situation would have been worse for both sides.

all the time

Yeah. I promise I'll stop cutting. It never works...

I keep them, just sometimes I am slow in implementing them.

so often...

all the time!

yes

I don't make promises easily so if I make one I keep it.

I try not to, else it'd be like lying to myself

Yes. I don't keep promises to myself.

I have done that a few times yes

All the time! XD
Im like, its just ME its not like im gonna get MAD at myself... ^W^;

Yeah. I always tell myself, sleep earlier, and never keep it. Hahahah...

Yea

No

I don't make promises at all but I do say things that I don't do

Yeah, every morning I say 5 more min and it turns in to an hour

No, I keep my promises to myself.

All the time but I look to change that. If you can't keep promises to yourself you'll disappoint others when you make promises to them

never

yes

All the time!

All the time.

Many times I make plans but later change and the promises remains unfulfilled.

Rare if i do. I do not like being let down so i will rarely ever make a promise.

sometimes

You aint gotta make your mind up,you aint gotta make your mind up right now,right now,dont rush,no pressure,baby no pressure...

Yes

Not often

yes

yea alot

Yes

Yes all the time

for me it depends. if it's about things like eating a cake or doing something that doesn't REALLY matter then i don't mind breaking my promises.
but if it's about something more important then there's no way i'll break my promises.

yes, as depressing as it might sound, it is the false hope that drives me along.

All the time

Unfortunately yes

i try to keep promises to someone i love so much

I used to but it's pointless now.

Don't we all?😩

Yes alot of times thats why today i have alot of problems

For the most part No, unless I'm having an off day or something and forget

Yea sometimes.

no

i always promise not to vote conservative pleb selfish rich twads party i still kept that promise...

too often.

yes sometimes

Yes I always do, once I think I never kept a promise and regretted it.

Yeah helps mindsets though

No

I keep my promises most of the time. It depends on what it is

To be perfect

Not really but I'm working on it

I set goals not promises.

Yes, all the time

yes

Yea

No, because being self-aware, I know my own limitations.

every single day

Always, then I feel low.

I used to make promises but it hurts when u can't fulfill them... So I just say I'm gonna give it my full... My 100%..that way I know even if it doesn't work out it doesn't matter
