both boyfriend and i quit; i lost my mom to smoking-related disease (copd/emphysema) last year. no way was i gonna go out like that. it wasn't hard to quit, but i know how difficult it is to stay quit as this isn't my first go at this. my most successful quit lasted about 10+ years. funny how in a time of crisis we go back to what is familiar and comforting and for me that was smoking.

since quitting i managed to put on 10 lbs, which is why i'm here more or less. i know that smoking artificially increased my metabolism, and nothing seems to be working weightloss-wise right now. i do feel better, though, all in all and i know i'm healthier for quitting. sometimes i think about going back to smoking in order to drop weight but that's just plain stupid.

I havn't had a smoke for three days...it;s not easy, but I know it's for the best....especialy because I'm doing lc and weight training now!
