I quit using the gum... the hardest part was definitely just some habits - like every time I got in my car I would smoke, so for a while once I quit I was still reaching over to the passenger seat, looking for my pack whenever I got into the car. Once you break those situational habits it's so much easier. And…

Thanks for everyone's help! I did manage to avoid them... I normally would've had 1/2 or 1/4 as some of you suggested, but I have plans to go out for a drink/appetizers with some friends after work, so I wanted to save a splurge for later :)

Nice job on getting over that hump! I've been pulling out old fall/winter clothes as it gets colder -- and my pants/sweaters are all noticeably looser than they were when I packed them up... So I tried on a super old pair of jeans I haven't been able to fit into since college practically, and they slid right up! :D

I also have the same problem and for me, a two-step solution works: 1. Don't keep the bad stuff in your house (as many others have said already) 2. Build the snack into your diet plan. Every night around 9pm, I eat a half serving of healthy "chips" (like trader joe's soy/flaxseed chips) or organic popcorn, 7 to 14 almonds…

Yayy way to go! I quit just over one year ago and it was tough - I looooooved smoking, it was like losing an arm - but so worth it! I used the gum since that helped with the cravings and gave me something to do with my mouth. #1 perk: After about two weeks, my skin started looking AMAZING. I've never had a problem with…

I work somewhere that takes photos of food, and they always set out the leftovers for anyone to take. This past months we've been doing holiday photos, so it's been a never-ending round of pies, cakes, chocolates, etc. AND they set it all out RIGHT across the hall from my desk! It's soo tempting, esp when everyone else is…

I LOVE this bar - and I don't really like toffee that much (too hard). I think it's bc it's ground up rather than huge chunks... so delish!

HAHAHA I never heard that before - love it!

I love their Spicy Soy & Flaxseed Chips - they taste like flavored tortilla chips (potato chips / Doritos are two of my weaknesses) but have much better fiber, protein (6g!) and even some omega 3s... the serving size is 7 chips but they're huge. Their Dark French Roast coffee is also great, their olive oil is soo good and…

That's soo sweet haha!

Another thought: Maybe when you're less in shape, you feel more self-conscious about your body, which he can sense.So he gives you more compliments to make you feel more at ease (and to encourage you to keep walking around naked hahah!) That's definitely the case with my SO, anyway. But honestly, at least he isn't…

totally relate to this. I even told my trainers (two guys haha) about how worried I was to lose my boobs and butt! squats kept my butt looking nice but I hate that my boobs have to get smaller... i just try to make sure my stomach is super hard/flat to make them look bigger!

I try to remind myself how good I'll feel afterwards - or remember how good I felt after the last workout I did. And to be honest, I'm not above "bribing" myself - I'll tell myself that I can take it easy and quit after 15 minutes. Then around the 15 minute mark, I'm usually feeling so much better about it that I tell…

That made me LOL :)
