So here I go again at my millionth time quitting. It was in control of me rather than the other way around and my lungs are NOT happy. So I quit yesterday. The first few days are nightmarish. If only I could keep that feeling when I think about just having one...
Anyway, today is day two of quitting and the diet/exercise thing is going well. I have lost over 15 lbs in two weeks and have 100 and something days to go. I'm already wearing pants I haven't worn in years and am very excited about that. My friend and I went out Sat. night and apparently 15 lbs is enough to take me from invisible to on the map. We were hit on all night long so that was a nice boost for my ego and motivation to keep going. The thing that made me start with a seriousness was being at that same bar and having not a soul even look at me, I felt invisible. I didn't like it! So hopefully I'll move on from on the map to actually attracting guys who I might be interested in. BABY STEPS.... LOL I'm going to make the love list as Lou suggested...hopefully that will make the cosmos bring him to me sooner... :D
Best wishes on the giving up smoking, well done and get used to socialising, I went out every night for the first three weeks of giving up some years ago so I could handle go out and not smoking, the two went hand in hand that time, also smoking slows up your metabolism after a certain age so I am lighter now than when I smoked, it also means your fitness levels really improve, the first while is hard, oranges are great to kill cravings,
