Starting Over (for the umpteenth time)

Here is where I start the new year. Lets start with the three decisions I have made as of today. (no they are not new-years resolutions) First, I decided to go to school after 16 years. Second, quit smoking. (have patch,will travel) Last but not least, lose weight. Now some might say this is an impossible task. I have been told I am taking on too much to start, and one person says I am going to be a total bitch trying to do all three.(she shall remain nameless at this time)I already am a bitch so that don't matter to me. Maybe they are right. I have a habit of starting things and not following threw, but I am hoping by sharing some laughs along the way may help me keep this going. So here we go, and remember, Laugh at me everyone else does.

I made a choice to go back to school and take a totally different career path. I have worked in gas stations, restaurants, factories, and God know what else. This is almost out in left field. I am looking into going to school for Radiology. It is one step to what I really want to do. More on that later. Anyhow I think that this might be a good thing for me. I lack direction right now and school seems to be a good fit for me. Right now its information gathering, but going to admissions on Tuesday to find out what I need to do. (trying not to be neurotic about the whole thing) I don't want to panic before I have to panic. I probably will have a panic attack before too long. Its not pretty. I swear at people and throw things and call little old ladies unspeakable names.(especially if they are driving in front of me, I want to run them over) I.H.S.F.P.

I am also about to embark on the smoke-free journey. I am 47 yrs old and have smoked at least if not more than three quarters of my life.(I figure if I quit, I can be around long enough to drive my grandchildren nuts) I'm not quitting because my doctor told me to, or because of peer pressure. Its because I am so sick of my mother-in-law telling me that I should quit because of the money and my health.(I love her but she can be a pain sometimes,and in this case she is mostly right but don't tell her that) I am quitting because I am sick and tired of being sick and tired. Quitting is the only choice right now. I want to wake up and be able to breath. I usually just wake up and cough up a lung. (great way to start a day). Stay tuned, I might have a complete breakdown before all is said and done. I don't put aside becoming homicidal at any point in time.(I wont kill, but I might maim someone) Cant take all my fun.
How the hell did I gain 40lbs in eight years. I use to weight 125lbs. (do not state the obvious)The B.M.I (for those who don't know what that is Body Mass Index) is telling me I am obese. I am at 33% B.M.I. That makes me 35 lbs over weight. (red hair and round body just don't go together.) I don't like the way I look, so it is time to change it. I want to be in a size 6 again. (4 would be better) but 6 is good. I am in a size 11/12. I do know what to do but, if anyone has helpful hints, they would be appreciated. (need all the help I can get) At one point in my life I looked good. Need to get that back. (If I look better I will feel better, I hope)
So I have this to ask. Am I crazy? Its best not to answer right now. I will ask in about 2 weeks when I think everything will fall apart.
Okay, I have a direction to go, I can get to where I want to go. I have the brains, I have support.(do I sound convincing?)
