Every so often you realise that you've got to make a few changes to your life so that you can move on. For some time I've been aware of two things; firstly I've really got to give up smoking (again) and secondly I need to lose some weight.

I've given up smoking a few times during the last fifteen years; twice for quite long periods of time, and I think now is about time I gave it another go. Smoking is such a stupid thing to start in the first place and, of course, is so very difficult to stop once you're hooked. As you can imagine after 15 years I'm pretty well hooked.

Last time I gave up for a decent amount of time I used Alan Carr's book on how to give up the evil weed. It was a truly amazing read and did the job back then, however living with a smoker caused me to (stupidly) start up again. Maybe it's time to find that book again.

With regard to my weight it isn't that I'm fat as such, however I'm certainly heavily than I used to be and also heavier than I'd like to be. Of course the years of clubbing certainly helped me keep the weight off but those days are (sadly) long since gone and so my weight has crept back up.

I'm not going to attempt to lose weight and give up smoking at the same time as that would completely stupid. I'm going to start off by working on losing a few pounds and then give up smoking as my new year's resolution. I guess it's time to wave goodbye to chocolate and biscuits for a while.
