"Pre-Op"...BOY was I wrong!

[whiterabbit 2]

I knew that to loose weight I would have to learn not to let other things rule my life. My advice to you is stop... just stop. No gum, sprays or gimics. Look at yourself in the mirror and decide what you want. Being healthy is not just loosing weight. I have been done with the smokes for 1 year as of yesterday. I was a smoker from 13 to 36 up to two packs a day. I have 3 kids and every time i found out i had a life inside of me i quit only to start up again. This time I had decided that if i was going to get healthy weight wise I had to work from the inside out. I tossed my smokes and never looked back. Sure it was hard and it SUCKED putting myself into situations I KNEW would make it hard. Going to the bar and having a few drinks with my friends, camping, Sci Fi conventions and for an entire year I refused to give in. A year later I feel like a million bucks and quitting smoking has lit the fire that is allowing me to let nothing stop me when it comes to my weight.
