the ONLY time i drink soda is if i go out to a nice resturant, i usualy order one with my meal, other than that, i drink green tea/iced tea mixed, 24/7.
and i RARELY (and i mean, 1 time every 6 months or so) eat fast food, and i have to be in a situation where its my only option. even at that, i dont eat the bun & i have a water with it so that its not that bad and of course, get the smallest meal possible.
i quit smoking almost 3 months ago, cold turkey, and havent smoked since. heres a website that helped me (its all free)
www.quitnet.com
the trick to stop smoking is to WANT to quit, not because you should or because you'll save money, but because you WANT to!! i failed everytime except when i wanted to quit. i was sick of not being able to taste foods, smell things, coughing every morning, smelling like smoke, and spending over $40 a WEEK on it!! to me, that all just seemed insane, so thats where i got my "want" to quit.
and remember, if you can get passed day 1 (yes, day 1!) of quitting smoking, then you can do it!!!!!
