Find One Positive Thing Everyday (read all 14 entries…)
I think I've done pretty well...... 2 days ago

with this. It’s been a huge help that I’ve made a point of surrounding myself with positive people and avoiding the negative ones. So I’m considering this done but in actuality it’s something I want to do everyday of my life.

lose weight (read all 28 entries…)
I've been trying to....... 2 days ago

psyche myself up mentally to get back on the horse. I weighed myself the other day and it was as frightening as I thought it would be. I fee like I gained back about 30 # but I’ve actually gained back 10 since 2 months ago. I don’t know if that’s a good or bad amount for 2 months but like I said I was sure I had gained far more.

Anyway, I’m working on getting myself psyched up. Those ads for “lose 20# by summer” have never fazed me because I’ve always had far more to lose in order to look good for any summer. Let me know when they come out with an ad that says “lose 150# for summer of 2010”. Then I might be motivated.

quit smoking one day at a time (read all 30 entries…)
I'm still not completely smoke free 2 days ago

I’m still taking the Chantix. I’m up to 2mg a day. Sometimes I feel like I want a cigarette so I go have one but after the first or second puff I don’t want it anymore. Really the only time that I feel I really want one is after I eat but, like I said before, if I wait a little while the feeling passes.

Yesterday was the big test, though. I was with my best friend. I’ve always smoked more than her but for some reason I turn into more of a chimney with her. I think it’s all the talking and having a good time. Anyway, I only had half of a cigarette. I’ve noticed that if I try to smoke more than a couple puffs I may smoke half the cigarette. I can’t even handle a whole one anymore. Even about after the 3rd puff I’m thinking “this is disgusting. I don’t want this anymore”.

I had my doubts about Chantix before but it seems I was wrong. It does work. I doubted whether it would work for me but I see it clearly does work. I’ve practically gone from a pack a day to barely able to stand half of one cigarette in a whole day. From what I’ve been told you’re supposed to stay on Chantix for 3 months but the way things are going for me I’m wondering if I should even bother with the next 2 months. Maybe, I should, just so I don’t relapse. I don’t know.
