Well, I have got to make this work.

Having breathing problems at this point. Won’t get any better unless I quit. Tired of being winded and have my heart race just from walking up two flights of stairs.

Enough is enough. Stupidest thing I ever did was pick up a cigarette - the stupidest.

You can do it. As Nancy Reagan said, "Just say no." It's as simple as that. If you feel yourself wanting a cigarette, just get stubborn with yourself. Find something to do instead. When I first started the diet, if I felt myself wanting to get a Blizzard at DQ, or a burger at Wendy's, I'd repeat my mantras ("nothing tastes as good as thin feels", and "blood pressure, blood pressure, blood pressure") and just keep driving. Once I passed the place, I felt like I had just scored a small victory. It'll be the same with you each time you resist the urge to light up, or you don't buy a pack of smokes at the store. You don't need Nicorette or any other crutch...the power to quit is inside you already. You just have to dig it up. You can do it!

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
