Smoking
I have smoked for many years, but decided enough was enough, I just couldn't afford it, even though I enjoyed it.So four months ago I gave up smoking with the help of a nurse at our local surgery.
And yes, I am feeling rather pleased with myself.
But, oh my, I have put weight on.
So really not happy at the moment.

Re: Smoking
Well done you, don't woory about the weight gain too much at the moment the main thing is giving up the weed, which is the single best thing you could ever do for your health, as well as your lifestyle.I was a forty a day man for forty odd years and gave up six years ago, put on a little weight then but now I'm much slimmer and fitter than I was evenvwhen I smoked.
Again, well done and keep ip the good work.

Re: Smoking
Marion, I gave up around 25yrs ago and also put on weight, I think most people tend to eat a bit more to compensate but it tapers of and eventually you get back to 'normal'
Don't worry, giving up is a huge achievement and so worthwhile, no more smelly hair, clothes or damage to your lungs and more money in your pocket - what could be better?!

Re: Smoking
Great job Marion! I switched from smoking to nicotine lozenges. Kind of like Methadone, that is switching one addiction for another. It's been maybe six years since I lit up though. But also upping the exercise is a good idea, you can enjoy having clear lungs again!25-06-2015, 06:33 PM

Re: Smoking
Well done Marion! I, too, was a smoker and did enjoy it, but I have to say it's one of the best things I've ever done giving it up. As difficult as it was. Like everything else, it's a time thing. The more time passes the more you get used to not smoking. Don't worry about the weight gain, you've done something great!|
