went cold turkey on smoking, a year and three months ago. still have the occassional wanting for a ciggarette mainly when i am stressed but that would envolve going out and buying a packet and upsetting my partner (he hates it)
dieting i find difficult, im loosing steadily but i stress that its not enough.
I think dieting is a lot harder because we need to eat to survive, and eating is socially accepted, whereas these days smoking isnt. eating is also easier to hide from others in an addiction sense, it doesnt make you stink or have yellow fingers like smoking does. the after affects (such as weight gain) take a lot longer to appear.
If i could loose weight like i gave up smoking i'd be the happiest person in the world but its just not happening =[
