Today is day one.
I am armed with my nicotine patch, healthy food and workout DVDs.
I tried quitting smoking awhile ago and went almost 4 full weeks only taking a couple puffs until I couldn't take it anymore and bought a pack. I quit wearing my patch and everything went downhill..
I have tried to lose weight more times than I can count. Sometimes I only lost 5 pounds, sometimes 20, before I gave up and the pounds packed back on.
This time I need to succeed. Being overweight and a smoker has really destroyed my life. I am always stressed out and down on myself because of my weight, and I smoke when I am depressed and stressed out. It is a never-ending cycle. Some may say it is crazy to try to achieve both of these difficult, life-altering goals at the same time. But for me I feel it is the only way I will be successful.
The purpose of this blog is to get my thoughts down in an anonymous format and hopefully gain support from others who have struggled with either, or both of these demons that control my life.
I am simultaneously writing this diary and a blog on blogspot.com so feel free to follow me there as well at:
