I quit smoking... but I feel like a failure
In the throes of a nasty cold, I stopped smoking. I was not a heavy smoker, never more than 4 cigarettes a day but often only 1-3.

Hi, I'm new here... I lost a lot of weight due to barely eating due to stress/separation/work back in 2012. I started a new job last June and since I've been here I've noticed the weight creeping back on- put back about 25 lbs.
