Hey Phen-land

What's going on around here
I don't usually check the post before work and yesterday I spent the whole day in bed sick and never turned the computer on.

Too many sad hearts around. This is NOT good. I'm trying to think of something wonderful to say to help cheer you guys up but.........I really believe you can do that yourself. It's all in your mind.

Don't be sad.......Get MAD
Fight those urges for junk food.
Kick those blues away.
Believe in yourself.
Honest.......mind over matter, it works.

Quick story (Moon quick? LOL LOL)

I started smoking cigarettes when I was 13 years old. I came from a "smoking family" and by the time I was in my 20's, I was smoking over 2 packs a day. I LOVED my ciggy's soooooooo much and couldn't imagine my life without them. I smoked through all three of my pregnancies, I smoked the whole time my sister had cancer and I drove her back and forth for chemo treatments. I just could not quit.......or so I thought.
One day I woke up and said to my self, "Self, you need to quit smoking if you want to live long enough to watch your kids grow up." I set a date (my son's B-day 9-8-98) and I decided I would NEVER smoke another cigarette after that date. And you know what? I haven't. I still want one from time to time, I still have to fight the urges and I am s-t-i-l-l trying to lose the 20 pounds I gained when I quit. Ya know how I did it..........deep down gut determination. Mind over matter. I wanted to succeed. I wanted to become a non-smoker and feel proud of myself.

We all can lose this weight if we want to bad enough. One hour at a time, one pound at a time and a whole lot of gut determination.
Don't expect the Phen to do the work for you. You still have to fight, you still have to get mad but YOU can do it.

GGGRRRRR----crap-o-la....now I'm late for work again.

Just do it!
(i sound like a damn Nike commercial)


Hugs and wet ones,
