my ex and i used to do this all the time..quit and then see if the other would cave- why because it was sooo much easier to forgive yourself cheating if your quit partner did too. i did it to him he did it to me...thank god he's an ex hahaha... but to keep your relationship together...he might be feeling a huge crave and begging for you to slip so it would be ok that he gave in... stick to your quit... i bet he will too!

ok. i admit..I'm an addict. of a tv show...as well..
hahahaha
but it is one of those shows that i used to watch eat and smoke cigs during the commercials...i watched it, because i use to sit and watch 500lb people make their lives better! i was envious as a smoker (and pretty light weight compared).
I thought damn if they can make their lives better, be healthy...why can't i just quit and do the same thing?
this season, i know that two of the contestants were smokers... one was the guy who is the most motivating and now the smallest... half way through this season i quit...i just watched an episode via hulu :) and you know what, instead of wishing i was like them....after 33 days... i am actually turning into one of them!!! screw the weight part... it's about getting healthy! it's a movement! now if smokers were just treated with the kind of warmth and respect that overweight people are...sorry if i am insulting anyone here but i look at adds with dirty lungs all the time but no adds about the damage 150 extra lbs does to a body. As smokers, were are told we are bad, stupid, addicts...god why smoke??? but the other preventable disease get a reality tv show... no wonder it sucks to quit... i am still proud that i did but i wish i got to have trainers to help me power exercise through this quit... just cause i am not heavy does not mean i am healthy!!! i need those people just as much- the only difference- it does not show on the outside that my insides are falling apart...
ok daily rant done, phew out of system thank you! geeze :)
