I'm more proud of quitting smoking than of anything else I've done in my life, including winning an Oscar.

i stopped smoking over ten years ago after having smoked for over twenty something years. i know how freaking hard it is to do. i applaud everyone of you here trying to stop! it's the best thing you'll ever do and you can't even begin to know how good you will feel afterwards. i used the patch and worked that system exactly as directed and i also used a lot of online support groups. [like this!] for me, having somewhere to go to so i could whine, bitch or brag about my quit days, was extremely helpful. oh, and that quit meter was very cool to use. i think this is it: http://www.dedicateddesigns.com/qk/download.htm at first you don't see a lot of change and it's a wee bit discouraging but all of a sudden one day you look at it and you are amazed at how well you're doing and how far you've come and then well, it's too late to turn back
 yay all of you!!!

Oh sweetie, it's better to battle a few pounds than fight for breath. Your ass has grown a bit huh? I could certainly utilize that.............. as target practice  Ooops we're in the smoking thread not the bdsm threads   Just 5lbs on your belly you reckon. You lucky, lucky girl. Try a 25lb weight gain. I started gaining weight about 6months in and then put on a pound a week for about 6months. I purposely didn't replace food for my cigs though. I'm not sure of the science of it but nicotine speeds up our metabolism a bit I think, which means when we stop ingesting nicotine, even if we don't substitute our oral fix with food, then it's going to be harder to maintain our 'smoking weight'....especially as we get older and possibly succumb to any sort of middle-age weight gain I think weight gain is often an excuse - not a reason - that folks use to start smoking again. I hate being the weight I am now. I've not been 125lbs since I was a chubby teenager who turned to anorexia and bulimia for the next 20yrs to stay thin. However, I refuse to go back to those dark days. I'm on the run down to 50 and if I can't be the skinny chap anymore then I'll live with being bigger but with lungs that might work through my 50s...Lungs come first! Your Doc says you can expect to lose 10lbs after your tonsillectomy...Jeepers you lucky lady. I've had my tonsils out, adenoids and appendix. I wonder what other bits they could cut out to help lose some weight. I wonder if a lobotomy would help!!  Keep on diggin', keep on diggin'

yes he said i could lose up to ten pounds because i wont be able to eat anything lmfao.... i bought a metabolic support to help with the metabolism thing, im aware of smoking speeding up the metabolism however i had lost and was able to keep off 100 lbs over the last 5 years so i guess not only do i have to dig in my to maintain my quit however i also have to do something different so i stop gaining weight...

Dear gaea Ahaaa I see why you're so bothered about the weight gain. 100lbs lost!! Jeepers that sure puts my measly 25lbs into perspective. What is a metabolic support? I know you're an active person usually but due to being poorly has your activity level decreased significantly? That surely would be a contributing factor to the gain. As you know I cycle lots of miles to ensure I can continue to eat foods I like rather than diet. Do you think you could live with being a little heavier? I'm afraid that's the point I'm at....like it or lump it (as my Ma used to say). yours diggingly

Dear Diggingly,
yes of course i remain active with the exception of the last month...due to the fact i haven't been feeling well. A metabolic support is a vitamin that assists with increasing the metabolism via supporting the thyroid found at a vitamin shoppe. Im hoping after my surgery i will feel well enough to start working out again..i think i will because i seem to be getting my energy back slowly. I lost damn near an entire you lol....it is my battle i know. Yours, Diggen my : in

Good evening gaea and Incubus! I am happy to report that I had a particularly emotional day and this is the 1st time I didn't think about smoking after the memorial service I attended.
Keep digging in those heels gaea. I really hope things get better for you after the surgery! Thank you for your support VintageFemme. Ten years! Almost 9 weeks for me! StillettoDoll, that is something to be proud of doing!

It was one of the things that really bothered me about my kids' bio mom. When she would have visitation, she would smoke with my kid in the car....But I had the windows down, she would say....grrrrr.

It's hard for me to come back in here to keep up with what is going on with everyone because talking about smoking is one of the things that make me want to do it, so I avoid the topic at all cost.
As of today, I have had a half a drag (when I was extremely intoxicated, mind you), and that is it since March 28th. So, I still consider myself smoke free for 4 months. I am doing a debate in my Comp class and I am pro smoking bans in public places. While doing the research for this debate I learned so much about smoke and smoking that I did not know....and especially about second hand smoke. I can honestly say that I will never smoke again! Stay strong all of you that are quitting or quit. You are doing the best thing for not only YOUR health, but also for the health of others around you.
