So that basically sums it up. There's a couple downsides...like...I've gained ten pounds and the smoker's cough has prevented me from working out. (not to mention the fatigue of initially quitting, I could barely get out of bed) but I'm feeling confident that even though I had to go backwards in my weight loss a little bit, quitting smoking will help me in the long run be healthy and have more efficient workouts since I'll be able to breathe.
2.5 years ago I lost 30 lbs in about 6 weeks, and since then I have gained now almost 60. I need this OFF once and for all. Frustrating, but I'll take all of the little victories for now (like the no smoking)
