The “Before” Photos

Heavens to Betsy. It’s been a long time since I’ve taken a “before” photo and goodness, this will be my last. Amen, preach it sister.

The before photo is the closest thing (other than going to the doctor, or trying to fit into a airplane seat) to a reality check that I can get. It’s like, damn girl, you’re fat. And I don’t mean that to sound self-depricating, it’s just the truth.

I spend a lot of  time trying to cover up my fat. Positioning angles, deleting the “too fat” photos, and wearing layers to forget how fat I am. I go to great lengths not to let my fat make me uncomfortable. I wear a black compression tank top almost daily so that I can suck it in a little bit better. I prefer high rise jeans to tuck in the upper part of my belly. I like bras with thick bands. I fly with a seat belt extender so I don’t have to ask for one. I avoid amusement park rides, horses, boats, and planes at all costs to pretend that I’m not obese.  It’s a lot of work.

 

And there you have it. The most unflattering photos I have ever (I think) posted on this blog. Things should can only go up from here!

I’m using the Insanity workout by Beach Body to help me get to my Minus 50 t0 29 goal and joined to become a Beach Body Coach, you can see my website here.

Quit Smoking Prescription


Have you ever thought of going to the doctor for a quit smoking prescription? You know that quitting smoking will result in better health and perhaps a longer life. If you sincerely want to quit smoking, you have many resources and treatments at your disposal. You may have already tried unsuccessfully to quit on your own. It may now be time to consider other options, including visiting your doctor for a quit smoking prescription.

When you visit any drugstore, you’ll find a variety of quit smoking aids sold over the counter. You might have even tried one or more of these aids with little success. But you are becoming discouraged and frustrated with your inability to stop smoking no matter how hard you try.

However, before you give up hope, you should know that there are also quit smoking prescription products like Zyban or even nicotine patches that may work for you. Make a point of visiting your doctor to discuss the problem. Your doctor will be able to suggest some type of medication that could help.

Keep in mind that medication alone may not be quite enough to let you stop smoking for good. This is a difficult habit to break, especially for those who have smoked for many years. That’s why a support system can be crucial to your success. You should have someone you can talk to about what you are going through. This person might be a friend or a family member who is willing to support and encourage your efforts.

Remember that a quit smoking prescription will not completely solve your problem. If you’ve tried and failed to stop smoking before, then some type of prescription medication could certainly be beneficial. Such drugs will control your urge to smoke and minimize your withdrawal symptoms. However, you will continue to have the smoking habit until you replace it with a healthier alternative.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Quit Smoking Prescription
So what if it is really that easy? What if all your beliefs about how hard it is going to be to quit are completely false? What if, after just one session of hypnotherapy or NLP you find it incredibly easy to become and remain a happy, confident non-smoker for life? The reason why hypnotherapy NLP are so successful is because both our beliefs about smoking and our habitual smoking behaviours reside within your unconscious mind. So whilst consciously we may wish to quit, all too often our all powerful unconscious mind simply would not let us.
