Confessions I must make - don't read if you are going to give me heck please :)

So, I had quit smoking before my surgery and was very proud of that, however, I did start smoking and have been for the past 6 months.

Now I have smoked since I was a teen - eek! I know and I hate it, I have quit so many times but then something happend....

my husband and I quit New Years day together at 8 pm and this is the longest I have gone without actually feeling like I wanted to start up again.

This is huge because while before I had quit for long periods of time I would obsess about smoking them but now for whatever reason I just feel different.

Of course I have also become anal retentive about exercising and have started the couch to 5k program I saw posted, so that motivation has helped me immensely

Also, for the simple fact I had this surgery to be healthier I just finally think after 6 months of having this band in me it is time to get my ass in gear and take better care of myself...

so I am not proud at all that I began smoking again after surgery but you know what? I am human, I make mistakes and if any one has a negative comment to make about this I suppose they ought to check their own inventory before picking at mine :confused:

Important thing is you're giving it another shot. Good luck!!

Congrats!!!! I agree at least you are trying again. My husband and I have been smoke free since June/08 with the help of the new drug Champix and it takes your cravings away. Too bad they don't make a drug like that for food....LOL
