So today I quit smoking...yes I said it...I'm done and now it's in PRINT. It was my downfall, my crutch but I am stronger and no longer want to mistreat my body. I have quit smoking with each of my pregnancies so my husband always thought he had to "knock me up" to get me to be healthy...but not this time...I'm not pregnant and I'm living a healthy lifestyle. I'm turning 31 next Monday and by golly I will be a changed woman!!!
Last week was the first week of my diet or shall I say lifestyle change. And it only took me seeing severely obese people eating to turn my stomach and shut my mouth (not to stop talking...who we kidding I haven't been able to do that even in Kindergarten...to stop stuffing my face silly geese). I am allowing myself one day to relish in the moment...which is Sunday for Football because who can watch football without eating wings and chili (especially if you have had my hubby's chili).
I'm really doing it this time...kicking all my bad habits...and setting a great example for myself (because we should be our own role models), my hubby, my children and you my friends!
So like the Patti LaBelle song "I Got A New Attitude"

Good luck with all of the changes!!
Good for you for quit smoking. I only smoke 2-3 a day, but it is still more than I like! I need to get to the point where you are where I say, I'm done!!
I am so proud of you for quitting!!! See there is a reason you ran across my blog. Quiters Unite!!! :) And what a perfect theme song for your transition.
YOU GO GIRL!!!!
Wow--way to go on quitting smoking! What a huge step for your life! AWESOME!
My Mom quit smoking several years ago. When she was having a craving.. She would self chant. I am a non smoker. I like that my hair and clothes don't smell like smoke. Etc. It worked for her..
I am rooting for you girl.
You can do it.
No, I didn't get a pic. It was to DARK..ugh. I am sad because I have major love for this purse..
YOU CAN DO IT!! I believe in you!
Congrats and good luck with quitting smoking. I however have decided that I should start smoking so that it might help me loose some weight....JK
Congrats! You can do it!
I quit smoking 8 days after I turned 30 and it was the best decision I've ever made and the hardest to follow through with. Seriously changed my life.
...it's hard but you can do it! Maybe you should trick yourself into thinking you are pregnant ..it may help :)
all healthy eating goes out the door on Sundays....I sleep in so my husband goes out and gets donuts ..ugh!
Good for you!! Now don't make me kick your butt when I come to Florida! You better stick to it!!! :)
