Re: Question about smoking...

I quit smoking in April of 06 and I have to admit, I did gain weight. I went up a size in about 4-6 months and have remained there. Granted, it was from a 2 to a 4, but still noticeable. I had to buy all new jeans, pants and some shirts. I feel like it was worth it. I have not had a smoke since my last one on 4/19/06.

2 years ago! Not more than 7 lbs, although I ate a lot of chocolate in the beginning. But, guess what?
IT WAS WORTH IT!
I love being smoke-free after 15 years of stinking like a ashtray and constantly fiending for my next smoke!
DO IT! DO IT! DO IT!
(I used the patch, and it worked nicely)
GOOD LUCK!

Re: Question about smoking...

I quit about 3 years ago - thanksgiving eve 04... and I gain a substantial amount of weight - about 30 lbs... but that's because I have a diseased elbow that can't stop bending when food is present...
Definitely suggest starting to chew sugarless gum or sugarfree lollypops - so you satisfy that 'oral' part...

I thought I was the only one with that affliction!

Nothing. I spent all my chocolate money on wedding crap.
