Here I go.........

[Bren]

I am picking today! I am beginning my journey to becoming a non-smoker and today is the day I become accountable to myself. The best way I have found is to make it public. To say it out loud and to type it.
I have started reading the Allen Carr book and looking forward to where this book takes me.
I know alot of people have had wonderful success becoming a non-smoker using the so called "easyway".
Wow..... I am even embarrassed to admit that I am a smoker. GROSS! But, I am and the time has come to make that change. Three years ago I made a commitment to lose weight and said that once I lost the weight I would quit smoking. Who was I kidding, I was just putting it off. So, the time has come!

Anyone care to join me?????

Funny as all the major changes in my life the past three years have begun to happen on or about March 30th. My weight loss started three years ago. Two years ago I became a fitness instructor. Last year was something else. So...... this year it will be for me to become a non smoker.

ok........ there it is in black and white.

What a wonderful decision Bren! A non smoker! Good for you! You can do it!

[Bren]

ok, still a smoker as the book says ....... do not quit yet. So, I am hoping to spend sometime and read the entire book this weekend and just get it over with!

You can do it! You will succeed! Congrats on strating that journey. Now it is my turn to support you if you need a friend I am an x-somker 8years now and I smoke from 13-21. Everyday gets a little better, in this case though I think remving yourself from trigger situations is a good idea. It help me alot.

Pulling for you!!

how neat! You guys are the best! Thanks so much for all your support. NOW...... I gotta get to THAT book. I have "reserved" time for me today and that time will be spent READING! Life gets in the way and I am not going to let it happen today. This is too important.
You have no idea how much it means to have you guys supporting me. It is so motivating and inspiring. Funny, I have alot of friends that still smoke and they are SO negative. Oh well, Did it with Atkins and they had to "eat those words"! Now, onto proving them all wrong again. That is pretty sick, but I have found when someone gives me the "attitude" it only makes me go after my goal more.
