I saw last year's post" How much weight did you gain", very good response on this. Many JDee peeps supported this. So I am starting this post.
I lived in a house with both parents smoking. I said I would never start. Told my Mom if she would quit smoking, I would not lay in the sun anymore( this was in the 70's) So, in the 90's I met my Hubby, he was a smoker. I never smoked, but some times when I had a beer, I would light one up. Just because??? Then that how it started. Both my parents died of smoking, ya think I would have learned. So now a pack is over 6 bucks, we both smoke, add it adds up! I have been in this nasty habit for 15yrs, hubby more than 30 yrs, we have tried before to quit, but now I am ready, not because of family history, but the $$$$. WOW I could buy a new sled ( but I love my sled), but the money we would save would be great. I am not going to tell Hubby to give it up, that is his choice, but thinking that he sees how much we are saving by me not smoking, well, that's his choice. I have always been a slim person, I am not worried about gaining pounds( 5,9" 123lbs), just need to get up in the am and not sit and have java and cigs. Sitting on the computer will be hard and not have a smoke, but I will have to adjust. Any body out there that wants to join in? This might sound strange to some, but when the dogs come out of the bedroom in the am they are sneezing smellling the smoke!
Any input would be great!
