[Scorp]

I know Rosie! Smoking is baaaaaad. I HATE the taste and always chew practically a pack of peppermint gum while doing so. Just something about the oral fixation (for a lack of a better term).

I'm actually enjoying it because it's "freeing" to me right now. I know that must sound strange, but, it's the only way I can express it.

The good thing is I can stop it at anytime. I've always been able to do that and lucky enough I still can. I've always had a few smokes especially if I decide to have a few drinks (even after I had quit).

Tomorrow is my weigh in day and I'm curious to know what that will be. I won't be shocked if I'm up in weight because of the week I had. Maybe tomorrow this will knock my ass back into shape to step it up and get back on the wagon.

Congrats to all of you who are making lifestyle changes and sticking with it. And to those of you struggling, it can only get better. I know I'll get over this hump and bounce back

Thanks to all of you for sharing your courageous stories!

Consider yourselves hugged by me

I would have been a raging bitch I have a friend that quit smoking and gained almost 20 pounds. She started smoking again, and has dropped 30 pounds. She said she would rather smoke than snack.
