A word of encouragement to folks who made resolutions to their health:

[Earth_First]

YOU CAN DO IT!

Whether it be decisions to quit smoking, begin a new diet, exercise more or make an impact on the stress in your life...

One week down towards positive change that you can see AND feel!

YOU'VE *GOT* THIS!



Signed,

-267 cigarette-free days!

1. thanks for the words of support...although this morning my reaction to 'you've got this' was

'if you say so'....not my strongest morning in terms of steely will to carry out changes for the better....so your OP was well timed and it is amazing to me that reading a few words from a person I don't really know does in fact encourage me. Power of the internet or perhaps power of my own neurosis, but who cares, it helped.
Thanks.

2. The support mechanism comes from the stranges of places sometimes...

Do *not* discount telling EVERYONE you know about the postive impact you've decided to make on your life!

You will find the encouragement all around you; even when you share it with complete strangers!

BE the change you want to see; both in YOURSELF and in the WORLD!

3. Where's the support for those of us who made anti-health resolutions?

You know, we who vowed to ingest more sat fats, nicotine, caffeine, GM foods, oil and mercury-contaminated seafood, and any remaining Twinkies we could beat the shit out of our Wal-Mart shopper competitiors to bring home?

Where's the love for US? Especially considering the uphill struggle we've got...

[Earth_First]

4. Well, Twinkie hoarding is a blood-sport...

Did you happen to think of the cardiovascular health benefits to your crusade to rid the world of the last Twinkie...?

Methinks you'll need some more bacon after your latest pillaging effort.

You've *got* this...

5. The cardio benefits I got were only in the physical combat for the Twinkies at my Wal-Mart

And I want to add...HEY, did you say, "BACON"? You now have my FULL ATTENTION!

6. Quitting smoking (ten years ago) was the single best choice I've made and I do not miss...

smoking one bit.

I salute your success and let's rock the rest of the new year by following other good choices
of our choice.
