So this whole quitting smoking thing… I have done it before. I have reaped the benefits of breathing easier, not REEKING, yadda yadda yadda, yet I am having a heck of a time this time…

Some of my reasons that I try to think about before lighting up, but never work:

-When I work out in the mornings, it’s much easier to do without hacking
- I won’t stink
- I will be able to breath with ease
- I will be the healthy me I can be
- Animals suffer at the hands of Philip Marlboro in terms of testing

I also realized that in the past, I have given up meat, cheese (not currently but I did that for 2 years), coffee, soda, caffeine in general, and eggs.
I mean seriously, I can give all that up but still struggle with the smoking?

I guess part of it is since I am dieting, I sometimes tell myself – ok, no chocolate right now but I will have a smoke instead. It’s kinda like a replacement for eating what I want. Ridiculous no?

I really enjoyed the few times I worked out in the morning without hacking up a lung. I mean, really, that was just nice. R has quit. I asked him if it bothers him that I reek and he says no, but I think he’s just being nice. I need to get on his bandwagon and say ADIOS filthy pricey cancer sticks!!!

But for some reason it’s just not working.

Whether I think I can or whether I think I can’t, I am right. (Thanks Dad!) haha

True though!
