I just quit smoking and started walking today.
I'm 45 and I'm ready to change my life. I need support on this journey I'm about to embark on.

how did you quit? I want to but I'm scared I'll replace smoking with eating.0

A journey of a thousand miles starts with the first step. Sounds like your off to a great one. Good luck!0

That's fantastic! Taking that first step is the hardest (I'm a smoker). I wish you luck.0

I quit yesterday.
It lasted 10 hours.....
But...I have an excuse.
I work away 5 weeks and then home a week. Yesterday was the day I came home.
I neglected to tell SWMBO that I was quitting and she had made me 200 cigs.
That's an awful lot of effort for me to say "ta but no thanks love"
So my non smoking is on a haiatus till these are gone.
But once they're gone, they're gone. No more. I am determined.0 -
Welcome to the club! I quit on New Year (2 months tomorrow). Not over yet, it is a long process, maybe a lifetime one...
The best thing one can ever do for themselves. Congratulations on the decision!
I was so scared of putting weight that actually lost one size. It can be done.
Shall we be friends?0 -
AJHUGZ - that was my pitfall, but wasnt aware of it, i think you will be OK since you know to watch out!!
Iif you do increase your eating, try to use fruits and veggies raw and sans dressings etc. then you will have a positive habit, because you may need some sort of 'habit' at the beginning. Im just talking about those 5minute moments you know?0 -
That is great ! You should be proud of yourself. When I started this program and started to exercise, I found that I really didn't want to smoke and I felt so much better.0
-
I have been smoke free for a year and a week. Congrats on the decision, it is a long hard road but you will be happier for it!0

Good for you! This will be the best decision you'll ever make! I'm a former smoker... Things will start tasting better.... you'll actually be able to smell things again! And exercise will come SO much easier! Plus, you don't smell like an ashtray anymore! I didn't replace cigarettes with food, just chewed gum! Don't give up! The rewards are soooo worth it!0

i'm not ready to quit yet getting the weight off and attempting to drink less booze is enough of a life style change for this year!0

I've already slowed down. i went from smoking a pack a day to at most 4-5 cigs a day. I can go hours without smoking, then I realize it and I smoke smh. Slowly but surely they're becoming disgusting to me.0 -

I forgot about gum. I'll try that.0 -
Kudos to you! All my family smokes (son, daughter, husband). I don't.
At least they go outside so I don't have to breathe it or clean the nasty walls.0 -
That is fantastic!
I'm a nurse and see the ravages of smoking every day.
Your body will thank you0 -
I;m right there with you. I'm on my 4th day and feeling strong, but the weekend is what gets me so I'm changing up my routine to stay focused. You should be proud of yourself that's awesome!0
