Awesome post Bunny!!

From a daughter's perspective (ME!) - watching my parents as growing up smoking & have a myriad of health problems that got worse as they aged ALL from smoking.......*knowing* in the back of my head they were going to die from it sooner rather than later......well, when they both died BEFORE I TURNED 30 - well, it was hard to be alone in the world @ 30yo with no parents.....

Think about your kids & the example you are showing them & how you want to watch them grow up & experience their adult life events......Just think about that.....

I am sorry to hear about your parents My kids and husband are begging me to quit and I know I have no excuses.

My Dad & Step Mom both smoke. She has emphezema(?), & they quit, but start again. She's on Oxygen. It hurts to think it, but I think my Dad is going to bury his second wife, too. I got quite mad at him once, but I think they've decided they're going to do whatever the hell they want with the time they have left.

My dad's dad died of lung cancer and my dad was diagnosed with emphezema last christmas, at first they thought it might be lung cancer and everyone in my family has only died of cancer So I know.

It is soooo hard cause I get so pissed off with myself everytime I smoke or when I quit and start again.

When you make the concious decision to QUIT, you will. You will have to decide what is more important to you. And yes, I do know about quitting, as I quit smoking cold turkey 16 years ago. I had just started working out and found out that smoking 2 packs a day and trying to complete an aerobics class are just not compatible. Fitness became my priority, so I put the smokes down. That and my son who was around 5 y/o at the time kept tellin' me "Mom, I don't want you to die". You can do it!

Best damn cheat meal I have ever had. Started off with a vanilla milk shake with whip cream on top (waiting for our table). Then, Baby back ribs with a 70z steak, skewer of shrimp, bowl of fried mushrooms, ceasar salad and cheese garlic bread. Finished it off with a chocolate brownie sundae (hot brownie drizzled with chocolate, with ice cream on top and whip cream around it) oh yeah, and a beer

Well, I'm glad you enjoyed yours. Mine wasn't nearly as satisfying.

ha ha 7 oz! My head is feeling a lot better, it is in the back of my neck now and a little bit in the eye, but manageable. It is like it is ligering but way way better than before.

Soccer tryouts today!!!! I am praying they don't cut my son, just cause he has never had to try out before and I don't want him to be disappointed

Thing is usually in the morning I am bloated, and I was expected it, (almost looking forward to it!) but nothing????

I actually feel great and a little leaner? I didn't go on the scale and I am not going to.

WIERD!

That happens to me too. My stomach is flattest right after I eat crap the night before. But the scale will show I'm quite a few pounds heavier when I get on it. I think I just look leaner when I'm filled out more, go figure!

Quite the cheat meal you had, CK! I had to read through it twice since it sounded so good!
