You can do it! I need to quit my habit of eating whatever I want--knock on wood but I only have a day or 2 left of being pregnant and after that I will have no excuse for a Santa belly!

I quit smoking after almost 15 years when I found out I was pregnant with DS - it was sooo easy! I had tried a couple times before with no success but I guess having a baby inside me gave me the motivation. I haven't looked back and love being a non smoker! I think the best part is not having to be a slave to thinking about the next cigarette...if that makes sense. DH doesn't smoke so I think that helps.

I'm so sorry you're going through this health issue with your DH, that can't make it easy to quit. I hope everything turns out ok!

My nasty habit now is much more superficial - I'm trying to shower/do my hair/throw on mascara each morning. Being a SAHM I feel like why bother but it makes me feel so much better...even if DS is whining while I do it! Oh an shaving my legs - I slacked on that a lot this winter

Quitting smoking is hard. But you can do it! I quit smoking as of Dec 15th! I haven't had one since! It's hard and I'm tempted a lot, but just be strong and don't give in!

@Sugar.Biscuit: You can do it! I quit about 4 years ago, however I was still sneaking in an occasional smoke with friends/when I was drinking. Getting pregnant last year, I never had a craving what so ever and actually hated the smell of it!

@Sugar.Biscuit: My DH is currently using e-cigs to quit, and it is going well. Everything else would go to crap eventually. And they cost less ... so yay!

I personally need to get back to the gym. Yes, weight loss and all, but I really just want to be healthy. High BP and diabetes run in the family, so I need to be a lot more active and eat better!

@Sugar.Biscuit: Congrats on taking that first step! Just remember, every cigarette you turn down puts you one step closer to getting pregnant with a healthy baby. As for the potential MS diagnosis, so sorry to hear that! But don't be afraid of it if thats what it is, the outlook is good. I have a friend who was diagnosed in her early 30s and it inspired her to get really healthy. She used acupuncture when she couldn't be on meds and is doing really well.

Good luck! It's awesome that you will be quitting!! Hang in there

I want to go back to eating healthy. I used to be sooo healthy pre pregnancy - all whole grains, low fat, minimal processed foods, etc. but with baby, I've found myself making such unhealthy choices. It's really important for me that I model good eating habits for my lo and it's hard to do that when I'm constantly reaching for frozen meals
