SMOKING – follow up

actually it is the other way around in the before and after…just loved the picture

Now almost 22 months have passed since I quit smoking. I feel a lot better and like I am finally on the other side of the tunnel – healing as it were. About a month ago I felt up-building healing processes start. My body is getting more shapely and I am – oh so slowly – loosing body-fat (the swelling sensation). My energy-levels are up and I am getting really fit. I stopped the heavy-duty training I did with my trainer and have started creating my own programs with the help of diverse training-gurus around the world.

My digestive-system is almost back to normal, which is like such a high! My diet has changed since I noticed that certain foods don’t fit me. It is not always so easy, since one of the foods is bread and I love bread! But I eat with care and then it’s okay. I detox every month which always makes me feel really good and free.

I am still waiting to loose the extra body-fat, but even in a bigger size I am looking great! I am so proud of myself for doing this, for finding the strength and the motivation to go through it, this in itself has given me a huge boost in self-confidence. I am also very grateful to myself for finally quitting smoking – the hardest, most awful and painful thing I have ever done. And I have grown as a person and therapist. All that I learned on this journey is invaluable knowledge on many levels; self-assurance, nutrition, exercise, toxicology, physiology and psychology. Everything is a learning experience.
