Oi, meu nome 'e Priscila, tenho 25 anos e hoje faz 3 dias que não fumo. Pois 'e... O dia que achei que estava tao longe, chegou. Sempre que me perguntavam quando eu ia parar, a resposta vinha na lata: quando for ter filho.Mas ai com a viagem para o Canada, o cigarro MEGA caro (um maco de Marlboro chega a custar $12), e o frio congelante, acho que o momento chegou. Alem da razão principal: a saúde.Esperei o pacote acabar e resolvi parar. Nenhum cigarrinho nesses 3 dias. Se esta sendo fácil? Não, nem um pouco. Tenho vontade de fumar, principalmente, depois das refeições, quando estou ociosa e antes de ir dormir. O apetite aumentou? Não! O que aumentou foi a ansiedade e, com ela, a gula. Pois 'e, to comendo muito e tranqueira, claro. Por que não vicio nas cenourinhas babies que comprei para simular cigarro saudável? Mas ai que a academia do prédio finalmente abriu. Sera que crio vergonha na cara de ir fazer esteira?? Espero que sim.
Eu to bem orgulhosa de mim. Estou sendo forte. Sei que 'e soh o começo e que terei que lutar contra isso durante muito tempo ainda. Mas vou conseguir. E to fazendo questão de contar para todo mundo, porque terei vergonha de ter qualquer recaída. Não quero me decepcionar e nem as pessoas que torcem por mim.
Obrigada a todos que já estão me apoiando. :)&nbsp;Não esta sendo fácil. Mas alguém falou que seria? 
Beijos, saúde (mais do que nunca) e sucesso!!!
