21 DAYS!!!!
I feel so good. I’ve gained weight, but it’s offset by the muscle because I’ve been exercising like a fiend. I finally have energy to do things. I’m also trying to get normal sleep now – trying to reset my circadian rhythm so that i have more energy. i’ve been reading a book about exhaustion.
quitting smoking has led me to make healthier decisions all around – first i started exercising, then i started eating healthier. i listen to my body now – because when it wants a cigarette, it’s usually because i’m hungry, thirsty, lazy, angry, lonely or tired. finding out which one i am and doing something positive to remedy it has really made my life a lot better.

for some reason the 21 day mark really means a lot to me – i think the whole deal about a habit being broken/made in 21 days. i’m learning how to live without smoking and i like life a lot more. it’s just one less thing to get down on myself about.

about five days ago i picked my face and i really destroyed one spot. i think it got infected and i didn’t leave my house except to go bike riding. my mom took be my the hands and said “please don’t do this anymore” and it made me feel just miserable. it’s healing, but slowly, i just can’t leave it alone. i always feel lucky because i heal fairly quickly, but i don’t have time for this in my life anymore. i have to be able to do things and keep commitments, not break them because i am self-conscious. i have portraits coming up next week and i’m determined to not pick today.
