How much shopping

I was very slim until I stopped smoking

I stopped for three years and ballooned, as you compensate by eating more and no longer have the nicotine in your system that speeds up your metabolism.
When I started again, I went back to my original weight, win some, lose some.
 
I put my weight on when I stopped smoking 8 years ago. Put 3 stone on in 6 months then kept creeping up to over 17st. I lost 4st when I was ill so albeit I've not uped and downed naturally I've found what I see as my ideal weight now. If I don't drink, smoke or eat I might manage to maintain it! :popcorn:

I smoke around about 5 small cigars a day and it works a treat.
On a liquid vapouriser and have been for 18 months. Works a treat and cheap as chips.

I used to like the odd cafe creme but usually 20 B&H a day for me. Quit with non of these modern aids you get today. Cold turkey for a week and I'd cracked it. Don't like the idea of these vapour things to be honest.
 
Time will tell I'm sure. Went cold turkey years ago and gave up for 13 years, BBQ and beer ...................
 
Bad bad Andy! I'd kick myself if I picked up another smoke now. :mad:
I did :(. Gave up for 5 years after that, started again, gave up for 3 years after that, started again then went onto the vapes. Guilty as charged. I blame the voices in my head. Oh, and the moments of weakness =))
 
My kid brother lying in a hospital bed with a collapsed lung answered the Dr when he asked if he smoked. Not any more he says then 13 years later almost to the day he goes into the store to pay for his gas and bought a pack of smokes. I asked WTF he was thinking and he didn't know, just did it!! Idiot did manage to stop again though. JIM
