On Dec 31, 2010 at 10:10pm I quit smoking, cold turkey! I have not smoked since that night and I am very proud of myself. I set my mind to do it and with the good Lords help, I did it. (It took alot of prayer)
Now it's time to do something about this weight. Dec 31, 2011 is again the date. I am using this time now, not to diet, but to prepare myself for another "life change" for the better. I am excited about the future as a beautiful, normal size, heathy, non-smoking woman!

    Good for you! I think its amazing that you've already built up a "track record of success" and that you understand how difficult it will be (having gone through a major life change before).

    Please let me know if I can do anything to help - I too have quit smoking and dealt with my health issues and would love to support you any way that I can.

    I love the will power. I believe that our Lord gives us to do anything we set our mind to and you have proven that with the smoking. now I agree it's time to do it with weight and fitness.

    Remember I believe in you, He believes in you and now you need to believe in you.

    If you're looking for an MFP friend feel free to invite me.

    God bless
