I’ve been talking to Mysti about e-cigs for a little while now :D

Once you are really “free” of it (the cravings, the constant thought of “well there’s a drink in one hand so there should be a cig in the other”) you will feel amazing. Any time I think I miss it, I just have to smell it and I’m instantly grossed out. You should get some e-cigs! Hey, I know a certain someone *ahem-Mysti-ahem* that may know a little bit about them! ;-)

I am definitely all about my mini-goals! Something I can reach in the foreseeable future!

Not smoking is going to take it’s toll on me . . . I want to try to get some e-cigs before the real holiday stuff starts. I think that will help with the stress and the desire to over-indulge!

Thank you so much for all of your support!

I know we’ve talked about this before, but when I worked with kids with autism, I celebrated all of those “small” successes too. I 150% believe that they are *really* *really* important!

And I think that philosophy carries over into all aspects of life . . . we push so many things aside as “not a big deal” . . . it is a big deal . . . every little baby step is still a step forward and we should be proud!

::HUGS::

I’m missed you quite a bit, Ginny and think about you often!

And I consider it an accomplishment just to avoid gaining weight during the holidays, not even attempting to lose any. Good job!

Dieting through the holidays ruins them in my opinion. But I also get stressed out around the holidays and don’t get as happy about them as most. It probably has to do with my dysfunctional family! LOL

I think you have always been on the right track and had the right mindset. You are making yourself more healthy AND losing weight, and you shouldn’t have one without the other!
