Time to celebrate

I am officially a NON SMOKER. According to the insurance companies you need to not smoke for 12 complete months to be considered a non smoker. YEAH I made it one year today. The process of quiting this time was not a difficult one, it has been trying to not shovel food in my mouth ever time I needed something. Which according to the scale I did not do a very good job at. So now the new goal for this next year is to loss all the weight that I gained over the past year.

I have tried to quite many times in the past that did not work. I am not usre why this time worked. All I know is that last year it was 4 days before my birthday and I decided that I was turning the big 40 and had grandchildren that I wanted to be around for, so I decided that on my birhtday I would stop smoking. I used the patch for about one week then forgot to put it on after that. From then out no more smoking. I was really supprised that I did not get to be my normal witch when I try to stop smoking. My family has commented many times that I was pleasent to be around.

I know most of my family and friend already know that this is my one year annivesary for not smoking, but I needed to put this in writing for myself. Thank you everyone that supported me and continued to listen to my talk about this.
