Hi everyone , what a great informative and supportive forum this,
I'm 30 years old and I have smoked drank and eaten seriously unhealthy for the past 15 years . I have tried giving up drinking and smoking several times before and I have reached the conclusion that in order to succeed I need to give up smoking drinking and unhealthy eating at once to change my life. So come Saturday I will be stopping my 25 a day smoking habit , giving up alcohol and starting a healthy eating diet. I can't wait !!

Got most of it planned all smoking stuff is being smoked on Friday and any alcohol around is being drunk on Friday ( should be a good last day!) and I'll finish the evening off with one good takeaway !, Saturday will consist of meal planning and shopping for healthy foods whilst trying to sort a fitness plan out
I kind of did everything at once, too, About-time, and it's worked so far What I didn't do was healthy eating, not at first. Well, I did, but the healthy stuff was heavily supplemented by sweets and crisps for a little while, because anything was better than smoking. I changed so many routines - sat in a different room in the evenings, bought new smellies for the bathroom so I smelt completely different, stopped drinking wine (swapped it for moderate gin-drinking!), started running...Focussing on the health and fitness side really helped, because I was immediately able to see how much more able I was without smoking, and notice vast improvements very quickly.
I do wish you luck - bear in mind that if you have a BIG night on Friday food and drink wise, you're likely to feel quite sluggish on Saturday! It might not be conducive to organising a fitness plan And I can recommend getting a C25K app or some other fitness challenge you can follow.
