[QUOTE="UnconTROLLed, post: 524807, member: 18708"] Thanks. I'm right around 5'10 143. Grand total: Dropped from 167 to 143 in 1 year. Drink occasionally but not a big drinker or smoker. (10 years ago different story) The only thing I changed was diet improvements. I don't eat anything unhealthy except a peice of chocolate and a bowl of ice cream a month. To quit smoking: My suggestion - slowly cut down until you do not smoke anymore. Fight off the urges whenever you can. The drive to work, at work, lunches, breaks....at home, learn how not to smoke if not just for that urge or instance one cigarette at a time. The distraction idea is a great one. instead of smoking a cigarette, grab a quick snack to eat. or a popsicle, or lollipop. they should help with the hand-to-mouth habit which is part of the addiction. Eventually you will be down to 3-5 a day from a pack or wherever you are at and not even realize it. Make smoking a cigarette a treat rather than a habit. Reward yourself with a smoke. It's as much mental as it is physical, obviously. Also another good way to quit smoking at home - keep your wife or SO( if applicable) in charge of your cigarettes. What I did was gave them to my fiance and told her to never give me one when I'm home. Never smoked much at home anyway, maybe once or twice a week. It was really the ONLY time I didn't smoke, only smoke at work! but I learned to not smoke at home at all because they aren't available anymore plain and simple! If you can't control it, have someone else control it for you. [/QUOTE]
