Today is my LAST DAY as a smoker, EVER.
Saturday, March 6, 2010 by Mandy (ZenMonkeyMind)
On the shopping list for today? Nicotine patches, chewing gum, very strong mints, carrot sticks, a stress ball.
Yes, I am taking the plunge. Tonight before bed I will smoke my very last cigarette. Tomorrow, I will wake up in the morning and put on a patch.
some have told me I am making too many changes at once, and I will overload and fail. I don't think so. I need to do this NOW, while I am motivated and ready. It's been over 2 weeks since I have given up pop and most junk food. I have lost 4.5 lbs!! I have been going to the gym regularly, taking kickboxing classes, and it's wonderful. It isn't hard. I LOVE it. I don't miss pop at all, not even a little.
Quitting smoking WILL be hard. But I'm doing so well with everything else, this will keep me motivated. In a few weeks I will be able to BREATHE after kickboxing. My clothes will no longer stink! And the example I am setting for my daughter!
My husband isn't ready to quit yet. Yes, this will make it harder for me, I know. More difficult, but NOT impossible.
I am... nervous as hell, anxious, but excited and determined too.
I CAN DO THIS!!!!!!!!!!
