For anyone who remembers me, I have to confess that I have started up again! I lasted about two weeks this time. I have set my new quit date for December 1 when I will try again. Not sure why I am waiting so long, except that I think I need to spend more time preparing myself. I simply am not ready right now, even though I desperately want to give up this filthy habit!
Please, if anyone has any advise, let me know. My main problem is that my husband is a smoker and is showing no signs of wanting to quit anytime soon. I have always said that I will quit when he quits. But now I am getting tired of waiting for him. But yet it's so hard to not smoke when I know he is smoking. Even though he goes outside or in the garage (we don't smoke in the house, or in our vehicle). I don't have to be around it...but just knowing that he is smoking is enough to drive me nuts. I start thinking 'if you can't beat em, join em'. I know this is wrong.
Oh, and if you do remember me, you might remember how I claimed the first three months are a breeze. Ha! It was the last time I quit (about a year ago). This time something happened and it was too hard. Oh, and last year when I tried to quit I gained about 15 pounds! I am still trying to take that off, and thinking maybe I should lose the weight before trying to quit again, otherwise I might gain another 15 and be 30 pounds overweight!! So, should I try to lose weight and quit smoking at the same time? The extra weight is proving to be quite the challenge too. I have been trying to lose since January. Should I take the weight off first or quit smoking? Right now I just don't know. I am hopeless!
