When I quit smoking, it was very abrupt. There was no planning, no setting a quit date, no preparation...wham, hello, you quit smoking TODAY because tomorrow you will be in the hospital! So now that I am able to walk again, I see that I have random lighters laying around and my mind says well you should keep them, you might need them someday...Need them for what? To start a fire in the fireplace..oh wait I have base board heating! Light a candle...Yeah if I want to go to the emergency room because I've just received third degree burns to my fingertips!! Take them on my next camping trip? Right, I haven't been camping since I was 10!! So today I lined up all the little suckers like they were getting ready for the firing squad and with one fell swoop of my hand and little jaunt outside I have diplomatically relocated them to the dumpster!! 🙂
I also am taking on the battle of the bulge at the same time because right now my life depends on it!! I don't get the luxury of waging one war at a time! Over the last 10 years I have lost 150 lbs and I still have almost 100 more to lose...as you can tell I pretty much sunk into a hole and didn't really care about finding my way out, but something awesome happened to me 10 years ago and I slowly began to dig my way to the light!! So today I make a stand against nicotine and carbs...oh the best comfort foods of all time!!
I am stepping out of my comfort zone, throwing off the cocoon I have allowed you to wrap me in, giving you the finger, walking away and never looking back!! I am so totally over you and we are officially divorcing!! I will not allow myself to be your slave ever again, so my enemy, I am breaking the shackles...I am so much better than this and I will be better than this!! I deserve so much more and dammit I AM WORTH IT!!
HERE IS TO 11 DAYS SMOKE FREE AND 10 LBS LIGHTER!! 🙂
