Quitting smoking and No S
Posted: Fri Sep 25, 2009 11:42 pm
Just wanted to share something that No S has taught me and has been a blessing this past week.
I have quit smoking 3 times before and I always gained massive amounts of weight and it was deterring me from doing it this final time.
Well I'm 3 days smoke free and doing great. Feel a strange calmness as I have not traded one obsession with another. I'm combining No S principles with a tweak. For the first 2 weeks I can have dessert every day if I want to. But other than that I'm sticking to the exercise, the no snacks and no seconds. I am finding that I feel some control. The dessert for me is just a way of rewarding myself a little bit every day for not smoking another 24 hours. After 2 weeks I will go back to regular No S. But quitting smoking was the utmost importance to me and I figure a piece of pie a day is worth the trade off.
Anyway, thought this was wonderful as it really goes to show how common sense and wonderful No S is. It is giving me some guidelines for quitting smoking too that I hadn't had before and if it could help someone else quit smoking then it was worth sharing.

PS I will reevaluate at 2 weeks. If I find that I need to go a full six weeks with desserts I will. Stopping smoking is primary importance to me.
