Gum has replaced the mandatory first cigarette in the car and it doesn't stink or have a over-packed ashtray which won't close anymore. The constant nasal drip cough is slowly going away but my lungs still feel a little fogged up. They do stretch better. It will take time.
I gained 20lbs instantly, eating frequently to stay busy, but that craving for food is tapering off.
I may cook for two but I'm going to eat for one.
I thought it would be ok stuffing myself by just not eating those processed foods..mostly organic greens and homemade stuff...I lied to myself as I put the pizza in the oven...but nope...I still blew up like a balloon around the waist. But now I'm a healthy balloon who can jog more than 10 steps again if necessary. Got more consistent energy to boot. Bought a nice Teeter brand inversion table to stretch out the back and knees and get everything straight before excercize. Taking the dog for longer walks now. Trying to feel healthy. Drink water at night. Brush my teeth more. All that jazz. Blah blah.
Gonna try the ACV as well and see how it goes.
Good idea!
