Getting ready to give it another try

[Barbde]

Quitting smoking that is.
I need tips for NOT gaining weight though. I was freaking out watching the scale inch up and up with my last try.
I have the food back under control, and the scale is back to moving in the right direction. I hate to regain again!!
I will be starting sometime this week.
HELP?

Re: Getting ready to give it another try

first you need to know that your metabolism is going to be altered by not having the nicatine
your fluid balance is going to be altered by not having the nicatine

Now armed with those facts just quit and don't worry about the temporary flux in pounds you are going to see cause your body will be thanking you this time next yr as you look back and reflec on how you have avoided lung disease as you get ready to express your whatI'm thankful for at Thanksgiving. By then those few pounds will be gone too.

You can do it.

Not a smoker here but I wish you luck! It is a terrible addiction.

Brook mentioned a book that she gave credit to her success. Im sure if you PM'd her she would share that info with you.

You are strong. You can do it!

I would drink until you could drink no more.
OOps that is water I mean. You may take on a pound or 2 for a few days but being only water it will flush. Also what about upping your exercise just a small amount the first week?
