I can't believe so many days have passed. I thank all the people on EX that have helped me stay smoke free. Have I lost the 20 pounds I gained? No, but it doesn't bother me as much any more. Better to be a non-smoker!
I think we ALL become more accepting of the weight when we see the benefits derived from quitting. I am sure our doctors would agree (while still gently nagging us to lose the weight!!!).
