Hi Wicky! Welcome to the club!

Keep up the good work, Ricky! You can do it! We went up for fil's 70th birthday this weekend (12 hour drive Friday, party Sat., 11 hr. drive Sunday! Whew!). He used to be a huge smoker, back when the kids were young, but he kicked the habit.

Also, I was surrounded by temptations---birthday cake, kid's snacks in the car, girl scout cookies, pasta---but I wasn't even tempted. The point is, you CAN get to a point where it becomes a lifestyle. I may not keep my carbs low enough all the time, but I've reached a point where I'm not interested in the bad stuff anymore. And that will happen with smoking too, just take it one day at a time and you'll do it!

I have a bike--that I never ride! I love bikes, but there are so many hills around here that it is a killer! And dh doesn't have one, so to go where it is flat, I'd have to go alone, or with the kids and I don't want to do that. Dh rides it sometimes for a change of pace. He makes me sick--he's still as thin as he was in high school!
