I'm trying again!

Hey guys, I have returned for another shot at beating this little demon  that keeps eating at my body.  I don't know if any of you remember me, I haven't been on in over a year I don't think. BUT, here I am again. I am going into the Nursing program and want to set a good example for my kids. Also, I am taking 2 aerobics classes at school and seriously hate it that I can't breathe through them. I'm also at least 50 pounds overweight and if I don't get it off, I'm gonna lose my mind. So anyone with any tips in that area, please feel free to share them with me!! I really want to quit this time. I'm on Wellbutrin, and even switched to a brand that I hate to make it easier. My quit date is Feb 14th, only because I have surgery on the 9th and need it for my crutch. Bad, I know, but at least I'm honest about it. So, welcome back me!!! I'm committed this time. Nothing's gonna stand in my way.

I'm glad to hear you've resolved to keep trying & are here. I've had many failed attempts, but I'm smoke free on day 5. This time I'll succeed. I've found that by making the decision to quit has had a snow ball effect- exercising more, eating healthier, etc...Take baby steps, soon you'll be a non smoker & lost some pounds. Be kind to youself, you have to start somewhere. Remember, you're worth it!

It will be so great when you are on no pack.

healing of many surgeries and smoking go together really badly as i am sure you know.

tell you a secret.

you don't have to want to quit.

you just do it.

stop making it impossible in your mind and just do it.

its not willpower or some special inner strength.

Its a decision and the attitude you have about that decision

February 14th was my quit date too. I hope everything goes well as far as the surgery and congratulations on deciding to quit.
