It's My Time

[wectmall]

Good morning!

I have a ton to say, but not certain I can say it all today.  So I will just jump in and start.  I began smoking when I was around 16.  My mom smoked and we kids hated it!  We vowed we would never smoke!  Yet, somehow, we all took up the habit when we were teenagers.  I went away to college and continued to smoke.  I got married and smoked still.  I got pregnant with my first child at 32.  I quit the day I took the pregnancy test and it showed a big pink positive plus sign.  I did not use any type of smoking aid to quit----the love of my unborn child was enough to motivate me.  When I had my first child, I had gained a ton of weight, so the day I came home from the hospital, I went and bought a carton of cigarettes and started smoking immediately.  I decided to go out back and smoke whenver the urge to eat came over me.  I was able to lose the "baby" weight within 4 weeks.  I felt like such a huge success!  Isn't that sick?!  

I wil continue later.........
