This blog may have just taken a different turn. It may change for the time being from losing weight to losing a habit. Either way, both things will happen, but first things first, I have to lose the habit. The habit of smoking. Let's think about this. If I stop smoking, I will feel better and have more energy to actually do what it takes to lose the weight. Not only that, watching my Grandmother die at the young age of 71 from lung cancer and all of the other cancers following it is a strong motivator. I will NOT be the one to decide it's ok for my family to watch me die like that. It won't be my family going through this in 41 years with me. I am not ready to say my life is damn near half over. No way, no how. It stops and it stops here. It's going to be a LOT harder than weight loss. But WAY more worth it. I can be chunky.... long as I don't smell like a butt.
Tomorrow I go to the doctor at 11:30 to be put on Chantix.
Here's hoping. No.... not hoping. Here's the starting line. I AM DOING THIS. Not just for me. For EVERYONE that I love. Thank you for motivating me. If I don't take care of me, I can't take care of everyone else.
Note to Self: Yeah, this is pry gonna suck. Way worse than not eating the foods you crave. But.... the benefits outweigh the habit. JUST STOP. Read this when it gets tough. Turn to the blog and the support, not the habit. JUST DO IT. JUST WANT IT. EVERY DAY, FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE. For a LONGER life!! Do it to be able to chase the kids. Do it to ride bikes longer and faster with the kids! Do it to show them that you care and that you know they don't like how you smell and cough and are always tired. DO IT NOW.....FOR THE REST FO YOUR LIFE!!!! Don't let Grandma's pain be in vain.

You can so do this. No problemo. Yeah, might suck. But cancer sucks way worse.
You can do it. I know you can do it.
But you have to want it - EVERY MINUTE!
Hey - google countdown clocks. You can get the HTML to do a countdown clock, only it will keep time. It won't count down, it'll count up! You can do it from when you've smoked your last cig. That would be a good one to watch. If you need help with this, give me your log-in stuff and I'll set it up for you. I'll pimp your blog!
