I have comprehensive experience about how to quit smoking without getting extra pounds. I have tried to quit smoking about 10 times and the last one (start date: on 01/01/2013) was successful. I didn`t get any extra pounds. I was smoker around 10 years.
I have many friends who fight with this addiction for a long time. Maybe they want to quit, maybe they cannot. My husband for example is smoker for almost half of his life. It must be hard for him. “There is no failure except in no longer trying”. He learns form failures. He never ceases to amaze me however it costs us an enormous amount of fights.
Because usually we allow ourselves to one more cigarette. No matter whether at a party or in other circumstances. we take the cigarette with thoughts “This is the last one”.
If you want to quit smoking: YOU DO NOT NEED THIS ONE.
And water, water, water, water – around 2,5 l – it helps to clear your body form toxics.
I choose sport. Before smoking I have never exercise. I started run, swim and bike. I create a blog in Poland which was very popular. I really enjoy new life style. I feel healthy and breathe better. My run scores are poor but I still enjoy that I am kind of a runner.
I start to feel comfort after about 7 months 😉 It was hard. All my friends were smokers.
