I've read all of this about kicking the smoking habit. I've never, yes never, smoked, but kicking the eating habit is also very hard. I'm on weightwatchers for the FOURTH time. Losing weight would benefit my heart and my joints, but when that urge to stuff my mouth comes, it takes a lot of talking to myself. Yes, working in the sewing room which is away from the kitchen is a plus. Just yesterday I was working on that UFO challenge and my stomach was a-growlin'. I kept saying to myself, "just this one piece more." Then, I'd grab the next piece and say, "Ill do one more." When I noticed, it was mid-afternoon and I hadn't had lunch yet.
You smokers who are working on stopping, keep up the good work. We're all pulling for you.
