Enough Is Enough!

The Last Time I Quit Smoking For Good I Did It According To How I Had Planned.
I Went Shopping For A Replacement To Cigarettes. I Knew It Could Be Another Disappointment For Me Like All The Other Attempts At Quitting In Years Past. I Knew Failure Well, But This Felt Different This Time Around. Looking Back All Those Years I Have No Regrets Other Than Starting Smoking In The First Place.
Quitting Smoking Gave Me A Different Perspective On Life. Ofcourse This Is Just Me And In No Way Would I Ever Look Down At A Smoker. No More Than I Look At Fat People In A Different Way. In Most Cases We Are Who We Are By Our Own Choosing.
Never In My Life Have I Really Been On A Strict "Diet". Actually I Never Considered My Weight To Be A Problem. Oh Yes, I Hide It Well I Know. I Saw My Doctor Last Week As I Do Every Six Months. She Told Me I Had Gained 19 Pounds. That Shocked Me. Maybe That's The Kind Of Wake Up Call I Needed. I Weigh More Right Now Than I Ever Have Ever Weighed Before. I Feel Miserable And Desperate. I Decided To Make Changes In My Life.
Beginning April 21st I Will Begin My Diet. I Will Say No To The Foods That Got Me This Way. I Will Exercise Daily. My Start Date Is My Birthday. I Told Billie I Wanted This Diet To Continue To Her Birthday Which Is October 29th. That Is Just A Little Over Six Months. I Think I Can Alter My Life Enough During Those Months To Determine If Going Hungry Is Worth It. I Need To Find Replacements Of Food When Those Hunger Pains Begin. If I Stay True To My Diet I Will Certainly See Results.
My Season Is About To Start. Each Year As I Get Older I Find It Harder To Get In And Out Of My Truck. I Have Alot Of Grass To Mow Weekly Too. Up And Down Hills In Search Of Morel Mushrooms Is A Ritual With Me In Springtime.
I Know One Thing For Sure. I Must Lose Weight. Each Year As I Get Older I Find It Harder To Lose Weight. I Look At It This Way. I Am Most Active During These Months That I Will Be Dieting. I Have A Better Chance Of Losing The Most Weight During These Months.
Let's Hope I Have Nothing But Good News To Report By Halloween.
