So I quit smoking on the 3rd of Jan... Well done me!
The problem I have now is choosing a new addiction.
Obviously I still cannot stop eating chocolate and crisps and other snacks that get me through my 'I wanna a cig!' moments but at the same time I am desperately trying to get fit again. I have put on way too much weight snacking on crap constantly and then 10 minutes later I am going for a run or do sit ups!
It's like having a spilt personality and it is driving me insane. How do you lose weight, get healthy and not smoke all at the same time?!?
I have tried snacking on healthy stuff (carrots etc) but they just do not work. They leave me feeling... the need for a cig!
So help me out here people... have any of you done this and have an amazing piece of advice that will work?

sex. sex works. i don't know this, i just imagine it to be so.

There's only so much your genitalia can take. If you're having sex five times a day you will develop lesions, bruises and small lacerations.
Berty reccomends staring out of a window and feeling the void left by not having a gentle yet seld destructive habit. Or rearing children.

When I was trying to quit, I tried sunflower seeds. However, I would just smoke and crack them at the same time.

Focus on one thing at a time. The people who are most successful at quitting smoking are the ones who allow themselves to gain some weight, and then focus on the weight loss after they're free and clear of the cigarettes.

Peanuts give me gas. I'm not sure why. But MasterFist doesn't let me eat them now.

I'm currently trying to lose a few pounds around the mid section - THAT ain't working.
I'm also considering quitting smoking in March when this hypnotist jagoff comes back to town.
But I won't quit if I'm gonna get fatter.
I'd rather die slim and fit.

Sidenote: Peanuts do have a lot of fat. It's the good fat though. They also have a lot of protein which is also good.

Yes here is what you do.
1. Start a small workout schedule.
2. Cut down on carbs (breads, pastas, chips...)
3. Snack on peanuts all day. The peanuts in the shells. They're hard to open
so you're likely to eat less. You also use your hands which is associated with smoking
butts.
Give it a try.

Let me tell you a story, a true story, about a friend of my dad. His name was John Armitage and he was a very healthy young man. He didn't smoke, he drank no more than 2 pints and 2 glasses of wine every week, he jogged and he went to the gym.
He died, aged 37, for no reason at all. Just like that. *snaps fingers*
It's strange how many people you hear that happening to. I swear excercise does more harm than good.

The good side to it all is that I went for a run last night. I tried to do the same run last summer and nearly needed CPR after 500m. Last night I did it all and could still talk at the end of it. Thats after two weeks so the benefits are beginning to show themselves.
I still want a cig thou!

I don't know if this borders on gross insensitivity or not but at the end of the day there are three things that'll get you barring accident or murder:
1) Heart attack. Heart attack is a piece of piss, bit of pain and bang that's it. Reduced life expectancy as it strikes earlier than the other two but at the end of the day it's a doddle.
2) Cancer. Cancer could strike at any time but will probably get you when your old and if you're susceptable to cancer then you're gonna get cancer. You are, so you're going to die of cancer at some point. Whilst smoking increases your lung cancer probability it could be in your brain, your guts, your skin or anywhere.
3) Stroke. These are what put me and mine away. Horrible, nightmarish affliction that leaves you a prisoner in your body, unable to communicate with the outside world. On the plus side I'm probably immune to cancer, which also implies I should get a job at a nuclear facility. If I was a physicist I could become the next Bruce Banner.
So there you go. You may as well light up now and chuff away until you've got a real reason to pack it in. They'll probably cure cancer soon anyway.

Generally I would agree but my promise was to my mum, as she lay in bed dying from cancer.
Having said that I mainly quit for myself. I just don't know why!!

You can't quit for someone else's whim. You can quit for the health of someone you love, or to be more precise: a mass of organic material in your uterus that you'll grow to love, but for them to ask you to do that was rather selfish of them.
It'd be like me asking my friend to give up motorcycling because he might have an accident and kill himself.

I made a promise about two years ago to someone that I would quit. Thats two years of feeling so guilty everytime I lit up. I just couldn't cope with it anymore so I finally quit.
In all honesty I think getting pregnant would have been easier. As for having no money.... I am spending so much on Chocolate and stuff I have less than when I did smoke!

It doesn't even approach that feeling though does it? That exhileration.
Hey don't feel bad about smoking. You should only quit if you've got a good reason to, like you have no money or your pregnant (or your bird is preggers) or... Actually those are the only two reasons I can think of not to smoke.

Cheers Berty!
I have found myself inhaling deeply everytime I walk past someone smoking...
I have quit smoking myself but that does not mean I cannot be a passive smoker!!!

*reaches into pocket*
*removes box of ciggarettes*
*puts ciggarette to lips, it hangs tentavly between the bottom and top lip*
*lights ciggarette and takes a long drag*
*puts lighter back in pocket, leans back and exhales a cloud of smoke. Watches the light shining through the smoke as the nicotine races through blood vessels from my chest to the tips of my fingers*
*taps ash*
It's a filthy habit really.
