Changing one's habits

At least for the better. Most people don't try to change good habits to get worse ones. So as most people know I have been working hard to slim down and be more fit. But the last few weeks have been hard, mostly because of the Easter candy. I love egg shaped chocolates! So to try and keep my candy habit under control I carry around pretzel M&M's so if I must I have a treat at least it is a better treat for me than a Reese's Egg. I had forgotten about them until I cleaned my purse tonight, but this week has been my most candy free week in a while and then it made me remember. The first time I quit cigarettes. Yes I know everyone is different and overcome challenges differently. The way I quit was I would crave cigarettes when I had zero left and so I always kept one on me, just one. If I knew it was there and available to smoke the urge was less. Since I wasn't so desperate. On that note, changes I have made. I am so glad I have overcome so much and have found out different tricks to keep me happy and content. So my advice is if you are addicted keep it in your purse or pocket then it can help it go away. I mean maybe a needle of heroin is something that should be best kept away and not in a pocket. But it is up to you. :)
