It Feels So Good!

Yesterday the guys in our quit smoking group (we all belong to the same snowmobile club as well as just being friends anyway) put in the rest of the trail signs and met at our house for chili.  When we all got together last week for the White Elephant party, everyone was tense.  I am so glad to say that everyone was relaxed and feeling good about not smoking!!!!  We had conversations flying everywhere about what we have and are experiencing physically, mentally, and emotionally with our quits.  Sometimes we laughed so hard we were crying.  This has created new bonding and I am so grateful.  I shared what I learned and appreciated about this site and you guys.  One couple that was quit for four years before said the weight gain does reverse whether you try or not.  But if you try it reverses faster.  Another girl said her quit smoking coach she got through her husband's employer told her the same thing.  Three months to a year, but it's up to us. 

We polished off SO MUCH FOOD!!  You would not believe it!  At least we are all committed to just dealing with this quit right now!  Later we will deal with the weight, like mid January to mid February.  We want to be in better shape by summer.

Anyway, I really love not being stressed and not thinking about it all the time.  Today anyway is good and yesterday was good.  Tomorrow could be a different story.  I am appreciating today.
