So, I'm super excited about being smoke free. It's awesome. It is something I've wanted for so long and I crave less and less now.
That being said, being able to follow through with quitting and re-committing every day has made me feel so powerful and awesome that I have gotten all wrapped up in all the changes one can possibly make to be a healthy, happy human being.
I need to stop. I need to stop worrying about the fact that I've gained a few lbs since I quit. I need to stop thinking about how now I can train for that 5k and eventually half marathon. I need to stop worrying about cutting all sugar out of my diet, buying every latest and greatest skin cream to "anti-age" myself, saving money not only on the fact I don't buy smokes anymore but also by taking my lunch to work most days a week.
See, all of these things are awesome and I can do it but for the love of pete, maybe I should take one at at time.
I think being able to quit smoking just made me feel like a super hero! And by all means, all of us Ex'ers rock! We are awesome. We are rock stars. We are also human. We need to just focus on that quit. We need to nurture it and love it and just bask in every smoke free day.
It is my forever quit. I don't smoke. I don't want to smoke. Every day when I wake up and I'm able to add the day before to my smoke free count, it makes me smile.
You can do it. You have to do it. The feeling of accomplishment is awesome. The pride you'll feel is great and well deserved. Just remember, you are human and you'll crave, and you'll still have days that aren't all that great and days that are so great. All in all, you'll have more days. More days on earth healthy, more days on earth with better skin and easier breathing, more mornings you can have your coffee, MORE MORE MORE 🙂
