SMOKING
Cravings have been coming every hour. They last about 5 minutes and then subside when I tell myself, "No!" and distract myself. Dealing with my body's reaction to the lack of nicotine is almost like dealing with an angry little child. I guess I am a child in many ways. I've been weak and immature. So far so good, though. NO TOBACCO!!! I had read it was like the death of a friend... it is.
SPENDING
No expenditures today. Yay.

No breakfast, (bad, I know). Ate lunch around noon. Dinner around 5:30p.

I thought for sure I was 235+ so this is exciting. My initial goal is to get down to 200 by June. That's 20 weeks away and 1.4 pounds a week. I'll always post my weight and then the target weight with a "T" in front.

Emancipation Day
As I watched the ball drop on a new decade Thursday night, I couldn't help but look back over the last decade with no small amount of regret. It was a decade of inaction and complacency. Furthermore, it was a decade of developing addictions. Now I find myself in desperate need of change and more willing than ever. I'm not a happy person and it's abundantly clear that my addictions are the primary culprits. So, in an effort to become the reasonably happy person I should be, I'm starting this blog as a catalyst for action. Most of the stuff I write will be related to my habits regarding eating, drinking, smoking, weight and spending. This will be my addiction journal and hopefully this will become the recorded history of how I went from bondage to freedom, emptiness to fulfillment. I want to share these things with you. I want to share this struggle. I believe most of us have some addiction in our lives and the vast majority of us will die a slave. This is my emancipation day.
