Your ass has grown a bit huh? I could certainly utilize that.............. as target practice Ooops we're in the smoking thread not the bdsm threads


^ i recon you probably could.^..you probably shouldn't tease me lol

Just 5lbs on your belly you reckon. You lucky, lucky girl. Try a 25lb weight gain. I started gaining weight about 6months in and then put on a pound a week for about 6months. I purposely didn't replace food for my cigs though. I'm not sure of the science of it but nicotine speeds up our metabolism a bit I think, which means when we stop ingesting nicotine, even if we don't substitute our oral fix with food, then it's going to be harder to maintain our 'smoking weight'....especially as we get older and possibly succumb to any sort of middle-age weight gain

I think weight gain is often an excuse - not a reason - that folks use to start smoking again.

I hate being the weight I am now. I've not been 125lbs since I was a chubby teenager who turned to anorexia and bulimia for the next 20yrs to stay thin. However, I refuse to go back to those dark days. I'm on the run down to 50 and if I can't be the skinny chap anymore then I'll live with being bigger but with lungs that might work through my 50s...Lungs come first!

Your Doc says you can expect to lose 10lbs after your tonsillectomy...Jeepers you lucky lady. I've had my tonsils out, adenoids and appendix. I wonder what other bits they could cut out to help lose some weight. I wonder if a lobotomy would help!!



Keep on diggin', keep on diggin'

Dear Inc,

yes he said i could lose up to ten pounds because i wont be able to eat anything lmfao....

i bought a metabolic support to help with the metabolism thing, im aware of smoking speeding up the metabolism however i had lost and was able to keep off 100 lbs over the last 5 years so i guess not only do i have to dig in my to maintain my quit however i also have to do something different so i stop gaining weight...
