Guest guest Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 Sunshine, I'm sorry to hear the way you headed in quitting smoking, but it seems that, over-all, you've turned around in all the important ways and are HEALING! I quit smoking back in 1982 and went the " sweets " way, so it started my road to obesity, though it was only the beginning --- there are many reasons why I have eating/nutrition problems that have to be dealt with. Quitting smoking was certinaly worth the immediate 20 lbs. though! It was such an important thing to do. With that said, to me what YOU are accomplishing is to be admired. The struggles to do all these things takes such fortitude (which I have yet to muster). Keep on truckin' :Donna Sunshine wrote: ----Sad to say, giving up smoking was the start of my downfall. I gave up smoking by using the eat-as-much- junk-food- sugar-cakes- sweets- booze-as-possible- method…which rotted my teeth, I then needed 8 fillings in one sitting, all amalgams. Was 11 years ago that. Boo hoo. ----I am now a seasoned PRO at giving everything up now. Booze, smoking, drugs, otc drugs, prescription drugs, I even had to give up eating food! 6 months of salad only was incredibly tough…but you are right giving up smoking remains the hardest thing I have ever done. I have the utmost respect for anyone that manages to kick that evil habit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
