Well kiddo, I must confess that I gained 25 lbs after I quit. Because I work from home and wear sweats most of the time, I didn't notice it until it came time to put on 'professional' clothes a few months later.
I've taken most of it off now but my body has changed and, well, that's another story...
I know that I could gain some weight, but so far I'm keeping tabs on what I eat and I'm more active. In May I'll be starting work outside the house, so I'm sure that'll help keep the weight off. I think the winter will be the time where I really have to watch myself, since I smend most of my time sitting doing one craft or another.
HEY! That is GREAT!!!
I am SO proud of you!
A non-alcoholic toast to MONTANA! <clink!>

You better sell them now Gautam, as I suspect they will crash when the news gets out.
Thanks sweetie. I've been wanting to do this for a very very long time.

Great news Montana!
I smoked for 25 years and quit 7 years ago.
Whenever you start to get a craving that you can't get rid of...try brushing your teeth, it helps.
