countdown...

I've been back to the hospital this week for some check ups in preparation of the big surgery on december 27th. Turns out i've lost 16 kg in just a month time si guess i've been pretty fanatic.. Today will be another step.. I'm giving up smoking. I have desided not to it to drastic I just smoke when i wake up and after eating and i think i'll have another one just before i go to sleep tonight. It's going pretty good so far.. Just gotta keep reminding myself I don't want one.. I usually just smoke out of habbit especially when i'm on the laptop.. But anyway i've cut down from about 40 a day to just 5 today. I feel tired but that will go better with the days passing by i'm sure.

teddy darling you are a winner and u will be able to do it all the bestapplause
Good job, Teddy! Keep doing it!! The surgery will be fine, don t worry! thumbs up wave
WOW, that's nice to hear Teddy, you done really good in losing weight. Congratulation my friend... When it come to stop smoking, just stop... it is not a big deal. You do not smoke at night do you? You go all those hours without the smoke, so do it in daytime too...Good luck to you with quitting smoke and loose weight.

My friend who did this do great, she still looses weight and use smaller and smaller cloths size.

You go bro!teddybear teddybear bouquet wave
Hi Teddy,

Congratulations for reducing the smoking. I’ve stopped about 5 years ago, well, did not smoke as much as you do, round 10 a day, but still too many. I just happened form one sec to the other. I’ve looked at the cigarettes and thought they were awful and stunk. The end of a smoker career. May I ask you, what kind of op you have to be done? To loos kg is also always to recommend, as too heavy is always a risk for the heart, bone, liver blood pressure etc. And, as you probably have to stay in hospital for a while, well, best what you do now, just get ride of the bad habits, smoking, especially before your sleep. Better go for a short walk round the house, only a few min. open the windows of your bedroom for about 10 min. and make sure, it is not warmer then max. 18°. I guarantee you, you’ll sleep better. If you weak up during the night, drink some tea or milk or water, no alcohol nor coffee. Just look at your age and for sure it will be a good reason to get ride of the bad habits and take on some good ones. Life is too short to be damaged extra. Cross my fingers for you and wish you good luck.

Just to say well done, it takes a lot of will power and determination. You can do it! Good luck with the surgery too I hope everything goes well. applause
@welela, I have been sitting allot with a cigaret in my hands today.. but I don't light it.. Thats not bad to keep my hands occupied. innocent

@guinevere, thank you.
Teddy, sounds great, but how about a pen or something instead? I know you can make this.teddybear teddybear wave
welela.. nope won't work.. the pen just doesn't lay as good inbetween the fingers.. to heavy and to hard.
LOL... you're stubborn, you know that, don't ya?rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing teddybear teddybear bouquet wave
Ted, good luck with the operation...success! handshake
uh oh I'm impressed with your cut down in smoking....I'm hoping to follow same route soon - for now have halved my previous consumption.cheers
i'm only giving up smoking because it will help the healing process. so if things go like they should i will start smoking again in february.
welela.. some people may have mentioned that to me before rolling on the floor laughing
thanks st elmo
You can do it! Teddy Teddy cheering

Dieting and quiting smoking all at once demonstrates a lot of perseverance. If you have this kind of willpower,then there is little doubt that you will see the thing through.thumbs up

That is so great that you've lost weight and even more wonderful is you are trying to give up cancer sticks.
I quit smoking in 1998 but did it cold turkey.
Had to because I was getting scary sick.
Never have touched them again.
Once you are done with them you will be so amazed at how much better you will feel.
The habit part is the hardest to break.
You just have to decide that you are stronger than the cigarettes.
It's not easy but very possible.
I'm very proud of you and will keep you in my prayers.

thanks saddestangel.. but like i said i have quit before for about 2 years and didn't really notice feeling better. I am pretty sure i'll start smoking again someday.. think allot might depend on my future girlfriend.. if she smokes i'll pick it again.. if she doesn't I might leave them .. i'll see. Its not something i really find that important.
As you once already gave up smoking, now try it again, well knowing, that you’ll start smoking in February again, well, I think it is rather stupid. Doc told you, it is better for the heeling, but can’t be better for your health in general. After loosing weight for the op next month, you then start put the lost kg’s back on too? Nonsense that is
thumbs down
Teddy

I wish you all the best for the operation thumbs up
Yeah well thats me.. I like it. MAybe i'm just scared of becoming such a fanatic non-smoker like we have all over my country. For me smoking represents freedom and sure it might not be all that healthy but my lungs are in perfect condition and well we all gotta die so might as well enjoy living then.
danke etlal
Every stupidity has its price, wait and see and feel it, when it will pay back to you, but believe me, then it is too late. And, yes, of course, you have the absolute freedom to destroy yourself. Have fun while you’re doing so.
I have known people that never drunk alcohol, never smoked, never did anything unhealthy.. yet they died at very young age. When its time to go its time to go. simple as that. I enjoy life and I hope to do it for a very long time but i'm at peace with death.. I'm not scared of it so I have no fear to live life to its fullest.. even with doing unhealthy things.
