30 years ago, after getting out of a nightmarish marriage and having started a new relationship, that took off like prairie fire (from first date to living together in 3 months) I decided to make another BIG change in my life and stop smoking.
I quit on the day of my 30th birthday after several weeks of mental conditioning. I had a work obligated medical examination that same day. I was weighted at 65 kg. I am 1,90m tall, so yeah I was too under weight.
Well, new girlfriend food, extreme appetite from the lack of nicotine, and my ADHD that simply entered in overcompensation, I started to fatten up. I was weighted again one year later at 130kg. This continued until I reached my max weight of 156 kg. By then I had busted my knees, my back, my gold bladder and couldn't climb the stairs to my 2nd floor apartment without a large pause in the middle.
After 5 years I restarted smoking. My weight slowly came back down until at 40 I was back to 70kg. Then, unfortunately I had a major burnout and a stupid doctor put me on an high dose of lithium (completely pointless and unrecommended) My body reacted by doing water retention and after a bit I was in the 120kg again... I've been fighting HARD to get it down from there, but, no luck so far.
BTW, smoking shot my lungs to hell... I'm on the verge of needing a O2 tank... so... don't.
Peace![Frown :( :(](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
