miwriter2004 Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 Greetings,I took my time deciding on if I should put up a post or not. I am 33 years old and currently weigh 353. I only recently stopped smoking after 18 years. Today is day 4 of not smoking. I figured that if I could quit smoking "cold turkey", then I can keep up the pace and change anything that I want.My current goals: Weight: 225 lbs.Profession: Ranger Plan of Attack: Paleo DietBody Weight Workouts [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] HUMAN ADVENTURER STR:3, DEX: 2, STA: 1, CON: 3, WIS: 4, CHA: 2 When choosing between two evils, I always like to try the one I've never tried before.

Tanktimus the Encourager Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 Welcome aboard, good job on quitting smoking. One bit of advice, have supportive people you can call if you get a craving, it will have less power over you if you can talk about it rather than wrestle with it in your own head. How tall are you?

rubyhellcat Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 Quitting smoking is awesome. You will be surprised how much it will gross you out once you are away from it for awhile. Link to comment
Razor Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 Welcome! Very noble on the kicking of your vice. My mom did it cold turkey when I was a wee lad because we found out it was aggravating (or maybe even causing) my asthma as a child. I remember trying to do research to help her do it lol, and might I recommend there is a lot of anecdotal evidence behind taking an ice-bath or VERY cold shower when you get a craving. Don't know if it freezes the brain, distracts you, or if the lowering of body temp and constriction of blood vessels mimics what nicotine does and therefore tricks your body. I do know that it helped my mom and when I was doing my research at the library there were recommendations for that.

miwriter2004 Posted August 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 I am also going to be doing the interval training. I will be using the Zombies, Run! app to help with this.

bigkislowski Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 Have you started using the app already? It seems like fun but they don't have it for Blackberry Also, congrats on quitting smoking cold turkey. I've had friends that have tried it before so I know it takes a lot of determination!

Porkins77 Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 Congrats on quitting! It's the hardest thing I've ever done. Scratch that...losing weight is the hardest because I was actually successful at quitting cigarettes! Ah, the struggle. Welcome to the Rebellion!
