Ok, so I've just turned 22....I have been a smoker since I was 14!!!! Last week my hubby decided it was time for us to quit because we spend WAY too much money on them nasty things! So, on Friday we ran out...I haven't had one since about 7pm on Friday! I'm soooo proud of myself. Although at times I feel like I'm going to kill Mike (my hubby) and I'm sure he feels the same way too! He has been smoking for just as long as I have.

Anyone, I just feel good about myself now...I went on a bike ride with the family tonight and I could actually breath!!!!! Sorry....I know its not weight related but I couldn't help it!!! :)

    Anything that can affect your health adversely could be considered weight related. Good for you!!! Don't be surprised if you gain a few pounds. Smoking inhibits weight gain. But it will come off again and you'll be feeling way better for it.
