It's been five years since I first posted on this site. I was determined at the time to not smoke under any circumstances and it became somewhat of a motto which served me well over the past five years. Being able to not smoke isn't an issue anymore and hasn't been for quite some time. Now that not smoking isn't taking all of my effort I can now focus on getting in shape. My goal for the next year is to reinvent myself by proper diet and exercise. I'm thankful that this site was here when I was trying to stop smoking and it really has been a journey so far. When I look into the crystal ball I see lots of healthy food and miles of walking in the future . I consider myself a work in progress now as we all are here. The life that I have now as a non-smoker is better than any I've ever known. Excellent for you for not smoking today. breather
