Title: I think I beat it.....
Post by ExplodingEyeBall on Dec 16th, 2005, 4:34pm
Not that!!!!!!

I'm talking about the nicotiene habit.

I've been smoking since 6th grade and I am now happy to see that at 4:00 P.M. this Saturday, I can celebrate one solid month without cigarettes.

This has been one of the hardest things I have ever done especially since I drink coffee and chain smoke when ever I get hit and I am slowly working back into a cycle.

The worst part is that I'm gaining weight so fast that my pants are getting stretch marks.

I guess the new years resolution this year will be to lose some weight.

I'm not kidding....... 17 pounds and still going. I'm starting to look like Buddah.

Congrats Pat!!!  Don't worry about the weight until you've been smoke free for a year, ok?  

Way to Go!!!

Congrats man....It's a very hard thing to accomplish and one month is definitely a milestone. I hope I can follow your lead very soon. I still enjoy cigarettes too much, but the cost and such are becoming too much.

Great job...keep at it.

Jimmy

Congratulations!  What an accomplishment!! You should be very very proud of yourself, an month is a long time and quite a milestone.   :)


I'm with Eric and Jimmy on this one- want to quit too, so does hubby..


you guys wanna give it a try together?   we already support each other thru hell,  so we know how to do that. :)

And the weight thing:  This past year I lost a total of 35 lbs and have NO intention of putting it back on- I like my bikini way too much.  Takes good diet and exercise and that should also help with the non-smoking.  EEB, why not join the Fitness Challenge? , I think its discoveryhealth.com

That's awesome Pat!!! Hooray!
I'm struggling with quitting right now. I've cut waaay down, but I'm not there just yet. I am not giving up, just waiting till I have a chance to be "not worth a shit" for a few days. Keep it up, bro!!

I quit 7 yrs ago. Will smoke a cigar once in a while. I put on 30 lbs, but lost all of it back after about a year. I went from pant size 32 to 34 then to 36, When the 36s got tight is when I got on he diet.

Good luck,stick with it.

That's terrific. That's indeed a milestone. I know, I've been there. Good for you, your friends and family. http://www.kolobok.wrg.ru/smiles/standart/yahoo.gif?SSImageQuality=Full

It's incredibly hard to stay off the things but now you can look forward to having more cash and becoming an anti-smoking PITA.
Of course I'm still the sweet and lovable old bastard that I always was. http://www.netsync.net/users/charlies/gifs/furious.gif

Nice going!

Charlie
