Hi B,
I’m sorry that you have been having such a tough time, hope the cut and the pretty nails are doing the trick 🙂 I gained weight too when i quit smoking. But i wasn’t smoking! And for the first time i didn’t really want to. But I am an addict. Carbohydrates have always been an issue with me. So seems i over indulged in that area. If i can be addicted to it I will, but only the easy things for me! I’m not an excercise junkie!
My injuries and pain, health problems and meds have aged my appearance greatly in the last 6 years. And I gained that quit smoking weight on top of the weight gain from not being able to move around much. But, I’m smoke free over a year and a half, I have lost and kept off more than half of the 20 pounds i gained and I am still working on being healthy. And i don’t need people who judge me by appearance. I am more than my shell.
Thank you to both you and Carole for your deep honesty. Painful subjects. I know reading them has helped me to reaffirm my resolve to be physically, mentally and spiritually healthy. Working on these feelings can be painful, but the growth and release that comes from letting them go i think is worth it. As we replace them with better feelings.
You are beautiful B! I am walking today. Overall I’m stronger but back and neck paining. Massage today thank god. Hope to catch up with you soon B.
luv ya,
Laura xo
