Many congrats. Giving up smoking was much harder than weightloss for me. That's for sure. But I learnt some great lessons from it that I have applied to weight loss. The biggest one was to learn each time you fail while you fail. That way you learn not to fail.
Anyway, I ended up giving up with lozenges....which I took for three years! I ended up being hooked on the lozenges and even enjoyed them more than smoking (because I could take them in the office, on a plane etc.) To give up the lozenges I started on breath mints which tasted the same but did not contain nicotine. I take breath mints to this very day even though I have not smoked in 8 years. Crazy eh? But it worked for me.
Quitting smoking IS a big deal !! I can totally understand because I quit cold turkey over a year ago and am still going strong !!
Did body change once you stopped though? I bloated !!! I got irritable, nervous and a was on whole a very negative person. But I am glad I quit.. my body is thanking me for it. I feel a difference in my skin, sleep, stamina and overall everything !!
Wish you luck !! The only 'C' you should be burning is Calories not Cigarettes
Congratulations! That is hard to do. Keep up the awesome work! I plan on trying after I get down to my goal weight. I think I'd turn into a meanie monster if I did a major diet and quit smoking the same time.
january i smoked 1 a cigarette an hour
february was 1/2 cigarette per hour
march was 1/3 a cigarette per hour
now this month is 1/3 a cigarette every hour and a half.
i want to get to the point where i literally have a smoke break after breakfast, lunch, and dinner and that's it... when i get there, i know i can drop it altogether.
the longest i've gone was 30 days exactly, and i wanted to freaking stab someone for a puff. but that was with the patch, which i really don't think works. this time, it's all about willpower!
75 Days Smoke Free!
I'm surprised I've made it this far.
that is fantastic! Be proud, quitting smoking can be hard and you are doing very well 
Keep it up and Congrats!!!!
