I'm here! i didn't know how to Sub last time i read your PTR...but now I do so I'm subbing!
Let me tell you about quitting smoking, at least my experiences. I quit cold turkey a while ago, almost a year ago actually. I'm not gonna lie, it sucks, and you will probably gain weight at first. The sooner you quit, the sooner you can gain the weight andddd the sooner you can get it off! I found that for about a month after I quit I ate a lot more. And not good stuff either, awful, bad stuff. I drive an hour to and from school every day...the drive was THE WORST by far. That's the worst of it...once the first month goes on and is behind you, I think you will find that you stop eating so much. Whenever you want a cigarette, go for a walk and call a friend to chit chat so you are busy doing something. That's what I did..and here I am, almost a year later, 20 pounds lighter, 6$ a day richer and healthy, breathing lungs. I know you can do it!!!!!
p.s- twizzlers worked wonders for me. Same shape as a cigarette, I would just chew on them all day, hold them in my mouth, pretend to smoke them. Remember, you can take the weight off your body, but you can't get back the years of your life you loose smoking!
Sorry if that came off as preachy, I just want to encourage you- I really thought I wouldn't be able to do it, and I did, and I know you can too!
Can't wait to hear more plans!
