What mood do you need to be in to wear a girdle?

They are now called spanx. Lighter weight and can come in full length.

Exercise is easier but my glutes could use some control undies!

[pig]

Well, feeling bummed as I went and bought a pack of cigs. Have about 3 left then try try try again.

[Deleted]

Aww, don't feel bad.

You'll do it!

[pig]

I know as cocky as it sounds I really can do anything if I put my mind to it. It's the putting the mind into it where the problem lies.

Can you turn yourself into a giraffe? I want to watch.

I agree that you have to decide you're going to do it and just stick to it. Throw out those last three and JUST DO IT.

[pig]

Have you played anymore RB? Yes, I'm trying to change the subject now.

[Deleted]

LMAO!!! Nice try. No, we have had a lot going on lately, but I'm planning on going back in a couple weeks.

What did you do with the last three?

[pig]

What did you do with the last three?

I smoked them. I have 1/2 of one left.

I smoked them. I have 1/2 of one left.

Well, throw it on the floor, step on it and proclaim "This is the last one ever!"

[pig]

[Deleted]

Did you do it?

[pig]

No

[Deleted]

Well, at least you didn't go out and buy another pack, right? Right?

[pig]

No, I didn't do that................yet. I'm thinking just one more pack............... <-----------that's the addict talking.

[Deleted]

Well this is for the addict and this is for the other part of you : . Come on, knock the devil off your shoulder and listen to the angel .

[pig]

I'm trying Fam. Thanks.

[Deleted]

Update, please.

[pig]

Fam! My day is now complete! Please see the fight thread in EE for update..........

[Deleted]

So it is all your wife's fault you can't quit? ;D

[pig]

I'm such a dork.

First chest workout in a long time. I took it really easy (only went up to 115) and my shoulder is clicking like crazy and have some mild pain. I have a feeling the rest isn't going to do me one shit bit of good.

[Artemis Windsong]

For your shoulder after the workout, have you tried a muscle rub like Aspercreme? That works for me when the pointy part of my shoulder aches after tennis. I know, different situation with you.

A smack down on smoking. All smoking is is deep breathing. Yes, the nicotine helps to calm and numb but that addiction part can be out of your system in 3 to 5 days. It's the habit that clings on and behavior modification is a constant issue.

With nonsmoking, the behavior mod takes at least a year. A person has to experience and overcome all the stressors. The biggies are alcohol, marriage issues, and the death of a family member. When you can get through those w/o smoking, then the issue is whipped.

What I learned. Wait 5 minutes before lighting up. Then wait another 5 and so on until the urge passes. Avoid the times and places where you usually smoke. A lot of people have morning restroom habits getting ready for work. I had food cravings that I gave into as I had always had a strict diet plan. I spent a lot of time riding my bicycle.

The family needs to be on board so they know that if you just stop what you are doing and ignore them for a few minutes, that you are coping with nicotine urges.

It's been 21 years since I quite. The best and hardest thing I have ever done. That includes child birth and raising children.

Best wishes. We're rooting for you.

[pig]

Yes, I've tried those pain creams they don't work. Congrats on your smoke freeness, that's a long time.

[Deleted]

Oh Doc, I'm sorry to hear about the pain and clicking noise.



How is the smoking/not smoking going?

[pig]

Hey Fam!

I've decided to wait until later this month when my wife returns from being out of town. Things have been pretty busy lately at home. How was your 4th?

[Deleted]

Hey, that is another good excuse! You're getting good at them.

I just returned from vacation so I'm a little depressed looking at all the stuff I have to do. I did have a wonderful time and a nice 4th. How about you, other than being neglected by your wife? ;D

[pig]

I started a home project demanded by my wife so didn't really do anything out of the ordinary for the holiday. It needs to get done so I figured I'd start it.

[Deleted]

Good boy!

[Deleted]

So what did you accomplish on your home improvement project last night Dr.Pig?

[Artemis Windsong]

My neighbor is trying to quit smoking and smokes a cigar when the craving gets to be too much.
