Yes! I have gone nine days without smoking any cigarettes! :) I got a little bit sick last week, and since then I cannot tolerate smoking, or even the smell. So getting sick was actually a blessing in disguise! Of course, it has only been nine days, but it is a good jump start for me. I feel a zillion times more attractive, energized, and I feel like I am not always as hungry (weird I know!) as I used to be all the time. That might have to do with the fact that I have not been able to workout though.

Even though I was sick all week, my week was actually pretty good. :) Besides the fact that I am having a hard time in my Anatomy class. I don't know why science is so hard for me. I really wish I was good at it, but I am trying my hardest and know I can get through it! :) Just study study study!

So, I have been seeing this one guy for the last eight months and he just went on vacation today. He will be gone for three weeks, and I miss him already so badly! It's hard to go from seeing someone three to four times a week to zero! :( But, I will use my time wisely while he is gone. I will burry my mind in this silly Anatomy class. And of course this class, but this is easier for me than the other.

So, remember in my last post when I asked "how does one know when they're in love?". Well I couldn't sleep the other night for the life of me so I wrote this down. It's cheesy, but oh well! Who cares, right? :)

"I love you because...."

".... we can make fun of each other."

".... you never say anything to put me down, but always the opposite."

".... you call me "cute", "gorgeous", and "beautiful" instead of "sexy" or "hot"."

".... you make me feel beautiful even when I look my worst (like in the morning! Yikes!)."

".... when we're together you always put me first before yourself."

".... you never let me walk behind you, but always in front of or beside you (I secretly love this but act like it's silly!)."

".... you treat me like a princess in public, and always show the sweetest affection to me."

".... your snoring no longer annoys me, because I miss it when I sleep alone." :)

".... even if a Johnny Depp look-a-like walked by I wouldn't notice because you're the only one I see." :)

".... you never told me you loved me yet, but show it in every action towards me."

".... every song in some way reminds me of you."

".... you're freaking awesome." :)

".... this list simply would never end, and I should stop boring the poor readers." ;)

  1. Hi Sarah,
    congratulations on day nine! You have passed the worse part,from hour 1 to week 2 !Have you noticed how laundry smells so much better? I quit one time for over a week and the smell of cigarettes became more and more offensive the longer I quit.My coffee addiction and my smoking habit went hand in hand,I had to quit both at the same time.If it wasn't for the coffee,I would have never started again.Think of all the money you'll save! Good for you!
    It sounds like you found a pretty decent guy,he should be flattered by your kind words.
    Are you taking A&P I or II? I just did II last term. Good luck with your studies!

  2. Hi Sarah,

    I quit smoking in this exact same way almost 17 months ago! I never looked back. It just became easier as the smell and nastiness began to really annoy me on others who still smoke. The gained energy for my workout in Zumba classes keeps me smoke free. I am quite sure I would not be as healthy as I am at my age if I had not quit. I was not a heavy smoker, but the difference is so dramatic I would never go back. You are doing great. I know you can do it. Does your boyfriend smoke? This might make a difference. I bet he loves kissing a smoke free woman. And doing away with that cigarette after love-making just makes way for more love-making. :-000!

    Keep us posted!

  3. Dearest Sarah,

    you go girl!!! I wish that I had the drive that you do to quit. I quit cold turkey in September 6,2002, but started smoking again exactly two years later.

    Keep up the great work and take the money you are saving and get some new clothes!!

  4. Sarah-
    Congrats on quitting smoking! My mom just decided to quit after 23 years of smoking, and she loves it. I bet she feels as amazing as you do! Being away from your guy when you're not used to it is hard- I was with my fiance non-stop for 6 months, and now for the past year I'm lucky if I see him once a month :(. Makes you really appreciate them though! And like Rita said- think of how many outfits you'll be able to buy from saving that money from your smokes! :)
