Woohoo!! I am over the moon!! I've just weighted myself for the first time since I quit smoking. Guess what? NO GAIN!! I'm too excited!! I was so nervous I thought I had gained at least 5lbs. But thinking back, I think that was just ToM. I am still 128lbs!! I am so happy!!
Only 8lbs to finish line!! AND I've stopped smoking. Thought it was gonna be harder than this. YAY!!
I quit smoking around the same time I started trying to lose. I haven't lost as much as I had hoped by now, and I'm chalking it up the change of not smoking.
Isn't it wonderful to not smoke anymore? My favorite part is all the money I'm saving. I mean, obviously it's nice to not feel as crappy and not feel like cigs "own" me, but it feels nice to stop at the gas station and JUST BUY GAS. Although, buying gas sucks too.......
I know!! I've never been a big spender but while I was smoking, I was always stunned at the amount I had spent every month. Like, where did my money go?! Now I know why and it's not happening anymore. another great part about not smoking, is that I actually get to smell everything all day. sounds silly, but I did miss it.
That is sooo awesome!
So there is hope huh?
I'm sort of working up to quitting but keep using the excuse that I don't want to gain back any of the weight I've been working so hard to lose. Gee thanks, you just blew my last excuse
Thank you girls!! I never realized there were so many former smokers here, congrats to all of you too!! keep strong!!
A weird thing that's happen is that I've totally forgotten why I quit moking. I have no clue what was on my mind the day I decided to quit. Which seems weird to me. And everyone keeps on asking, 'what made you quit?' and I just dont know what to say. I'll keep talking about the health benefits but I know that that wasnt it.
Anyone expirience something like that?
I've only briefly smoked in high school and only occasionally when drunk (and just wait till you've gone a while smoke -free you'll wonder why you ever started, its fowl!) So I can only say I know how difficult it is to quite through other people.
Hey congrats! I just quit too, about a week and a half ago. I used to smoke because it was kind of like a hobby of mine, I enjoyed it. About two days ago some of my friends who smoke stopped by and they literally reeked of smoke and almost made me sick. I kind of feel bad that not too long ago that was me smelling so awful to a non smoker...
No gain after quit!
