 and crankiness  that goes along with quitting, rather than the pulling of hair. I would rather put on a few pounds than have those pesky bald patches for people to laugh  and point at.

AWESOME posts y'all!
I quit smoking as part of a goal back in 2008. I was one year smoke-free on October 13th of this year  It was one of the best decisions I ever made. There has been a noticeable improvement in my general health - no more pesky colds all the time and sinus infections. I have also noticed renewed skin texture and my hair is shiny again. Those are little things that are all about vanity but I can imagine my lungs are much pinker and happier too

Well..if someone would come up with a good alternative to smoking that would be great. I need something that mimics the effects of smoking..calmness,satisfaction....sorta like the after glow effect. Yep that's what I need.
Other wise... It Wont Be Pretty..

Ya know how you usually think of all the bad things that smoking does and try to motivate yourself that way? It generally doesn't work so well. I made a list of all the POSITIVE things I had to gain from not smoking. Things like: my breath will be fresher. I will have more money since I won't be spending it on cigarettes. I will feel more energetic. People won't feel as uncomfortable around me. Things like that, and more. It was a long list lol. Then I kept the list in my pocket, wherever I went. Every time I felt the urge to smoke, I pulled out that list and read it. Focusing on the positive really helped a lot. I didn't need a patch or nicotine gum. All I needed was to change my thinking. I also consciously stopped thinking of myself as a smoker who didn't smoke. I said to myself, "I am a non-smoker now." It is amazing what a new point of view can do. Don't focus on what you are missing, like that satisfaction a cigarette gives you. Instead, think about the satisfaction of being smoke-free. Believe me, it works.

Glad to see this...
I've had some stuff happen in the two years and consequently I've let a few things slide as far as what's good for me. Also the things I just basically haven't done right from the get-go it's probably pretty much should call myself on...
I did quit smoking though, 3 years ago this month and stayed good on that (with the admitted cigar a couple times a year). I'll probably bbl if get a good list going. Great inspiration... thanx...

I jumped on the healthy bandwagon back in August...
I stopped consuming carbs (insulin resistance bordering on Type II). I stopped consuming sugar. I stopped consuming sodas. To date, I have lost 61-67lbs. Four sizes. I feel better than ever. My fibro is ramped down significantly and I have more energy. I just feel good. Much luck and success to those seeking healthier living in the coming year. It really is mind over matter. Christie |
