I have not gained a lot, but I have lost quits because I became unhappy with the extra pounds that showed up. I think you are right Karen, snacking or smoking same time. Also I adopted the attitude that my quit was more important, but the vanity side is/was screaming its head off.
I will be 65 in a couple months and today while I was at Curves looking at some of the women (younger) I realized how blessed I am to have the fitness I have. I work out 4 to 5 times a week and try to walk at least 3 miles 5-6 times a week. I also garden and take care of my home. Yes I would like to see 10 pounds off, but I would rather be smoke free today. I have maintained the same for the last couple weeks, so to me that is progress.
