To Eat or Not to Smoke?... that is the question.
That IS the question for me at this present time... Coming up to 2 weeks without a cigarette... It's quite a good effort.. But these past few days have been terrible. I crave a cigarette, so I eat... It's the universal quit smoking problem. Quit smoking, gain weight. My weight is a huge issue for me at the moment. Just over a year ago I lost weight, people noticed, I was actually somewhat OKAY with my weight. Now it's come back on. Hello cellulite, my old friend! Grrrrr. I've come to the understanding that it's either quit smoking and be big or start smoking again and work on my weight. I'm just not sure what to do. I know positive people out there will say, "oh don't be silly, you can do both, it's all in your head." Yeah sure. I'd bet those people have never been a smoker or overweight (or both).
Smoking is really bad for you. Everybody knows that. It's smelly and yucky and gives you the big C. But the one GOOD thing about smoking is that it doesn't effect me mentally... Not being happy with the way I look is a huge downer and literally depresses me. I'm really downed at the moment. I'm sure it's a combination of lots of things, not just weight issues, but yeah...
Oh I don't know what to do! Part of me wants to just walk up to the shops.. "Choice Gold please!"... and part of me wants to just go eat a muffin. Mmmm. Muffin.
WHAT TO DO!

I know we have talked about this on MSN already, but, I just want to reiterate that you should give yourself a break. You're human, and it's normal to struggle and to feel like shit about showing or giving in to what feels like weakness. But, if we were all strong, all the time, then everything in life would be easy and there would be no reward for slogging it out and doing it really hard to reach our goals. Yeah, yeah, I know, I sound like one of those lame life coaches, but really. Try not to focus on what is getting you down and focus more on how fucking insane it is that you haven't had a cigarette in TWO WEEKS!
