Emer’s Quitting Smoking Story Week 6

Written by colinthebronc on 09 July 2011

Well Ive nearly completeld 6wks..

Still single and loving it.. My fitness level has increased. My only concern is that even though I am watching what I am eating and working out (big time) every day in the gym or running outside if the weather is nice, and Im still putting on weight.. How long does it take for my metabolism to correct itself..????

Other than the small weight gain (around 4lb) I feel I am doing great and it is so nice that you would take the time to mail me on my progress, thank you Colin…

I realised the other day when I walked past a person who had just lite a cigarette and It smelt lovely, that I realised that I always loved the smell even as a child, maybe it was because my uncle used to smoke and I adored him, I suppose its like people who like the smell of freshly cut grass… so I now have to just let the smell just be a ‘smell’ rather than a need to have a cigarette.It was like a light blub went off in my head.

Dont get me wrong I know after 23yrs of smoking Il never be out of the woods and will be like what an alcolholic must feel like, that I can NEVER have even one.!! But I know that if I keep myself busy and keep my thoughts always positive I should be ok..The benefits of stopping strongly outweigh being a slave to Nicotine again…
