Still Not Smoking and Other Things

[Janet]

Wow you guys are amazing.

I am surrounded by people who just are able to quit their bad habits and grow out of them.

Me? I eat horribly and have gained 20 pounds in 2 years. I smoke like 5 packs a day. I drink a lot.

I have tried to quit all three but I guess that's too much at once.

Eating was number 1. I have totally quit all fast food but I'm not perfect ( and I won't be until I quit working at Dominos 60 hours a week) but I hope to lose 20 pounds by spring. It's difficult ( as I type this I just ate raisonettes LOL) but I'm trying.

Cigs...well in NJ they are banning it from public places. BOOM...I think a lot of people feel they will quit when this happens. If I can't drink when I go out, I barely smoke any other time.

Drinking....that's too much fun to quit but I will say...I can't remember the last time I drank until I got sick. I did that for a long, long time but now it's like...as soon as I feel it, I stop.

So maybe I am not doing too bad...baby steps..but you guys are total inspirations!!
