Today I got up with the right deterination and motivation. First of all, let us count the good things. I have cut my caffiene by more than HALF. That is ALL the doctor said I had to do, was cut it down. I did it!
I have reduced the coffee so that I am not even finishing the morning pot. Maybe 2 cups total. Yes, I still make one in the afternoon and evening, but I am nursing it slowly and not finishing it. I am now taking glasses of water to bed, instead of my usual coffee. I am actually having nights where I fall asleep before 3am. Amazing!
Yes, it is tough. The cigarettes are the toughest. Every day that I try to reduce is a step closer. Two years ago I was in pain, both physically and with my grief. I just haven't cared even one bit about how much I smoked. All of you understand, I am sure. I realized that I have made a lot of progress.
I care! I want to be healthy! I have important things to do, like watch my girls play dress-up.
I am looking forward to visiting non smoking places without feeling uncomfortable. I am looking forward to feeling better. Right now, I am feeling rough....WITHDRAWAL!

ok this post really hit home. Seeing the picture of my own daughter and thinking about wanting to be there for her myself. I am going to quit smoking as well. Time to lose the pounds i've gained and get healthy. For my kids sake. Thanks again mom for being an inspiration. Love you.
Yay!! I know you can do it, you're as stubborn as any person I've ever met lol
