Who says nobody likes a quitter?!

Apr 20, 2014

Getting ready to go to bed and mentally preparing myself to be a quitter. Tomorrow I quit smoking and start radically altering my dietary habits to drop my pre-op weight. Used to be if I was trying to quit smoking, I ended up eating more and if I was dieting, I smoked more. I imagine trying to do both at the same time is going to make Stacy a bit of a Be-otch. Maybe that's why nobody likes a quitter? LOL....I guess since i'm preparing to change my whole lifestyle, there's no better motivator to quit a nasty habit that I should have never started in the first place and having the surgery depend on my ability to quit is a strong motivator. I feel like the donkey pulling the cart with the carrot dangling in front of me. I have this mental image with two versions to help me. I REALLY want to do mud runs after I recover from my surgery. So i'm picturing myself slender and toned running this course feeling light and healthy and ALIVE with that great adrenaline rush and flood of endorphins that comes from physical exertion then I picture it again where I'm barely into the run and bent over gasping for breath, face flushed, feeling weak and nauseous as I cough out a lung.....Yeah, I think that'll help! I can do this!!!!
