My 2 best friends just lost close family members to smoking related illnesses, and to see how hard it's been on them makes me realize that I don't want to put anyone through that. So I'm trying to quit. I've been cheating a little, but for the most part I'm pretty proud of myself so far. And I think I'm gonna take up a healthier lifestyle too, because a lot of illnesses run in my family such as diabetes and heart failure. I'm gonna give myself the best chance of a long happy life I can.

I was 270 pounds and could care less about what I ate! I didn't care about exercising or taking care of myself! Then my Aunt got adult onset diabetes and has had so many complications due to her weight that I realized that my body is a temple. I eat better and I exercise daily now. I gave up soda and high sodium foods and fast food. Congratulations on quitting and I am so glad to hear that your mother is doing well. I am still trying to conquer the nicotine addiction though. I am on a prescription medication to help me quit. My quit date is March 5th which also happens to be my daughters birthday.
