Thanks Sandy! I'm on day eight and doing great!
Thanks Gretchen, I have some weight to lose but decided to conquer this first as I'm sure I'll pack on a few more pounds. I've been reading that even if you don't eat any more than when you were smoking, your metabolism changes. So I'm just going to wait until after our vacation to start dieting.
I am also appalled by the young people who are smoking today. We picked up one of my neighbors at the bus stop and some of those kids light up as soon as they get off the bus. They are only in 5th grade. One of the reason s girls are smoking is because they think it helps to avoid weight gain, but the reason they don't gain is not metabolism, but something that happens that blocks the body from absorbing nutrition. It is a shame.
