The greatest motivation of all is that little gal or yours.

Congratulations CYC! I'm proud of us both.
CS, go for it. I really do feel a lot better. 2D sent me a list of how your body fixes itself after you quit. I've got it on my fridge door, it's a great motivator.

Well I have kicked around and kicked all the way across the pasture. I am quitting smoking and a few other unhealthy things. I promised a start date well here it is at 9pm tonight I will be out of cigarettes! I am quitting, no BS, no excuses! As I said before I am gonna do this by attacking a healthy lifestyle full on! Your a great bunch to root me on! I can't think of a better team to motivate me! I'll keep ya'll posted on my progress! They don't call them cowboy killers for nothin!

WOOHOO! It's the single best thing you can do CS. I would have some nicotine patches or gum to hand, just in case. I used the patches for the first 3weeks. I wouldn't try doing too much at once, set yourself a goal and reward yourself when you get there, it worked for me. I just know you can beat it!

Well, 12 hrs. down and I slept most of that. I would normally have smoked about 1/2 a pack in the same time frame. One thing I don't think coffee helped a bit, No coffee tomorrow. I am still feeling very comitted to quitting so far! A few friends have said to get the patch or something. I wanna think I can just meet this head on!

Awsome CS! Once you get to 24hrs you'll really feel committed. I'm rooting for you!

Thanks Winnie! I hope we are both meaning the same kind of "commited".....

This thread has prodded me to think about things. In the last 10 years I have had 11 abdominal surgeries and as a result of this I have gained almost 100#.
Well I decided that it is time to start getting things back to what they used to be. So Last night I ended a 24 hour fast and went for a walk with my wife. This morning I had a small portion for breakfast.
Now it is not much, but it is the first step. My goal is to loose 120#. I will never be what I once was because of the reconstructive abdominal surgery, but I do not have to be what I was yesterday.
You ought to join Crash in this thread KT

CS & Klickitat, that first step is the hardest step.
So many excuses and deferrals before you actually make it, but once you make it you are officially on your way, and there's no going back. It's like giving your word of honor.
Congratulations on summoning your willpower and good luck.
Good for you, Cowboy. You have lots of good reasons to quit.
When it gets tuff, just remember that little girl that wants/needs her dad around for a long time.
It's been a little over a year, for me. The beggining is hell, but it gets better before too long. Hang in there. We're with you.

It's 5 month's since I quit smoking!!I can't believe it. At times it's not been easy, and I've put on weight, but I'd rather be fat, than a smelly chimney
Hey Cowboy! How's it going?

Winnie, you're the cat's meow!!!
So happy you've stuck to it all this time.
Well... Since I quit smoking over a year ago, I hadn't really done much until recently. I have really cut back on the Sodas and such in the last couple of weeks. Went from the equivelent of a case of pepsi every 3-4 days to 1-2 pepsi's a week now. Drinking more water 3-4 24 oz. bottles a day. As well as more milk/juices. Cut out 95% of the fast foods and having more grilled/roasted meals. Walking more as well.
If by what I have learned over the years, allow me to help one person to start to prepare. If all the mistakes I have made, let me give one person the wisdom that allows them to save their life or the life of a loved one in an emergency. Then I will truly know that all the work I have done will have been worth every minute.
To CS: When my daddy quit smoking, he took a piece of paper. Rolled it into a small tube, cut it to the size of a cigarette, painted the end yellow (Like the filter) and wrote the names of those he knew and loved, who had died to smoking, on it. Everytime he felt like a cig, he looked at it, and told himself that he 'would not let such a small thing control and take my life'. Smoke free for 3 years now and he is happier than ever
i've began eating better again, now that i am able, and am working on agility, toning and balance exercises in order to start practicing martial arts again.
weapon form aside, martial arts have not been a regular part of my life for too long. i'm not going to let my knee be an excuse anymore, just take care and work around it.
