I'm 23 and I've smoked the last 10 years of my life. On halloween, I decided that those cigarettes don't have to own me. I ended up tossing my last 3 cigarettes in the trash. (Oh... how I wanted to go back and get them, but I didn't.)

Now understand that I have been away from low carbing for a year, so what I ended up having to do was go on a 3 day fast. (I did this to put a bit of disipline back in me.)

Today, I went to the store an bought a lot of meat, a block of cheese and a case of bottled water.

I figure, if I'm not going to die from smoking than I shouldn't die from being fat either.

By the way... my cigarette cravings are very reasonable compared to what I was expecting.

In addition, my feelings about going back to a low carb lifestyle, are much more strongly commited.

I even bought a george foreman grill for work, so I can cook in the break room (a nice steak) rather than running outside for 2-3 cigarettes.

Wish me luck!
