I've quit smoking, caffeine with sugar and fast food, all in the same day..

I might be going for a world record here but lately I realised I was doing some serious damage to my body by almost doubling my smoking ( 2 packs a day ), eating nothing but junk whenever I was out ( ribs on bbq sauce )and drinking three cups of coffee with 3 teaspoons of sugar each and to top everything off I work in front of a computer all day long. So this past Sunday I decided I should do something about all of this. I started of by watching the excellent documentary called " Supersize me ", 20 minutes into the film and you're having some second thoughts on fast food altogether, by the end of it you're wondering how come these food chains remain open. Secondly I smoked all my remaining cigarettes and simply stopped buying ( the last 2 times I decided to quit I had smokes lying around, that is a tricky part ). Last but not least I realised that I must have been addicted to sugar since I was drinking 3 cups of coffee per day only to have the sugar that goes along with it, and during the weekends I would drink between 1,5 to 3 litres of Cola light. PURE MODERN DAY ADDICTION.
The reason I am writing this post is to let the world know that I belong amongst the millions that realize everyday that we are getting screwed by modern living while all our bodies need is some attention, some exercise, natural food and plenty of fresh air. Hell if I cannot have all of the above I will try to get as much as I can.
I sure hope that one year from today I will be looking back to this post thinking " damn I really did it"....
