Monday, March 24, 2008 | A General Update story

What a struggle to eat right, exercise, and the general discipline it takes to maintain a healthy lifestyle. I love to eat, and when I can’t have seconds, salt, or things I would love to eat it sure makes it hard. It’s not always the food that is hard to exercise discipline over, but the fact I can’t do what I want to, and I have to do what I don’t want to. Anyone who reads what I have gone through might think I could have given up smoking easily, but when I thought I was dieing it was the only thing that gave me pleasure. Now that I am not dieing I have to give it up. I have set April 1 as my stop date. April Fools Day because I have been a fool for smoking so long.

Pray for me on this, I know it will be hard but not as hard as dieing. I was going to wait for the stress level in my life to calm down because I am under an extraordinary amount right now, but I don’t believe it will ever calm down to the point I can say “ WOW!! Everything is going so good I don’t need to smoke anymore.” A friend told me “ It don’t matter if you jump off or wait till it comes to a stop, you still have to get off the train.” So here I go. WEEEEEEE………

Hey Pal, how are you doing? Hows the stop smoking thing? I quit 9 years ago now, and to be honest there are times when the thought of lighting up still cross my mind; however, I know that I can't so here I am. The food thing well, we all seem to struggle with that one. If I can handle it anyone can. Just really don't think about it, shift your focus from "can't" to "wow, look at what I can have". Hang in there bud, you are not alone!
