Nothing to report - everything going ok. Looking forward to tomorrow when I will have reached the milestone of one week. I am surprised that I have not yet started a hacking cough as the lungs start to clean out the debris. It could be positive and mean that my lungs are actually in quite good shape. Or could mean the tar is caked on so hard that it is staying there. Gotta be positive!
I did however decide that I should start to keep an eye on my weight sooner rather than later. I need to get some more scales though because my existing ones say I weigh 13 1/2 stone. Ha ha! Can't be right can it? If this continues I may have to take up smoking to battle my weight problem.
Why do people put on weight when they give up smoking? Partly because people rediscover their appetite, partly because people need to be doing something to take their mind of smoking, partly because 'bad' food offers reward for the hardship of nicotine withdrawal and partly because smoking actually burns energy or calories by the physical act of smoking and processing the harmful chemicals.
I shall ensure that by the end of this blog (31 days), I will have lost half a stone and be 12 stone something!
My name is Karl Lewis, and I am a smoker.
