Give and get support around quitting
And that is what it would be just an EXcuse! I remember one of the elder's posted a list of EXcuses used to continue smoking. Mine was on the list. Fear of gaining weight. Well I quit smoking and I gained a little weight and I eventually lost a little weight. In fact, I now weigh less than when I first quit smoking. It balanced out but I needed to focus on the quit first. I am here to tell you not to worry because quitting smoking is the beginning of an overall healthier lifestyle. You will get there. One day at a time, one task at a time. With all the crisis going on around us please don't use one of them as an EXcuse to smoke.
Jackie, was this possibly the list? https://excommunity.becomeanex.org/groups/best-of-ex/blog/2013/08/12/understanding-excuses
Yes it was my excuse and still is. But I am going for week 4 now without smoking. I feel like eating a lot?? So I wil be fat but I will breath and might start enjoying excersice and get rid of the flab!!
Anite You'll lose the weight AND you won't have to drag an oxygen tank around behind you for the rest of your life!
It will balance out.
