8) I know what you are saying. I think I gain 5 pounds :shock: It hard. But We have to do it. Good thing is Since I stopped I have saved in my jar $180.00. WO HOOOO crazymike and Diane
180.00??? WOW..do you put money in every day? I was only putting in like 25.00 a week. I figure, by the time we go to Cancun, I'll have about 500.00 to spend there. I may have to spend it on bigger clothes! :roll: Terri
LOL!!! I've been going to so many parties an drinkin so much lately that I've put on a few extra pounds myself!!! However, I got my best friend to agree to hit the gym with me everyday starting this saturday so that I can get back to where I should be weight wise & body fat % wise. You guys are doing GREAT....KEEP IT UP!!! Michelle
That is great CrazyMike that you saved up that kind of money .. Just think that was how much you were spending on those damn cigs .... I just ask my g/f that just stop cold turkey how long it has been ? She told me its been a yr without it ... I am shocked because she smoked so much that she even used to smoke while going to the bathroom :lol: :lol: :lol: She says its really hard when she is at the bar while drinking .. And still is today when she goes out ... But I got to love her for trying and keeping up the good work .. Especially she has three teenager .. One has a baby that stay with her ..lol Lisa
Hey you guys are all doing great. Its more of a mind over matter thing. You need to believe in yourself and not give in to the just one bullsh@#. It is never just one. About the weight gain, I gained about 10-15lbs when I quit and I am only 5 feet nothing, so the weight showed a lot. I am proud to say that by eating better and working out (trying to do both) I have lost almost all of it. And the fact that I don't smell like an ashtray is the best part. You all CAN do this. Hugs Sandy!
The coughing is absolutely normal when you quit and just one of the physical effects. But in the end it's all good. I don't think the urge ever goes away, you just learn to control it and remember as time goes on - if you let yourself have one, it will taste like ****. I know this, I let myself have a couple about a week ago and it tasted horrible, my chest immediately tightened up and I could still taste and smell it the next day. I hope that means never again. Keep at it guys you can do it.
