It has been 3 months since I quit smoking (for the hundredth time). It is the first time, however, that I have actually gained weight from doing so. It didn’t help that my husband and I took our kiddos on a family vacation. There has been a lot of food and a lot of cheering over the last month (and there's a lot more where that came from). I couldn’t tell you exactly how much weight I gained since weigh scales are prohibited in my home. And besides, who needs a scale anyway, clothes don’t lie and of course there's the fact that I was just plain uncomfortable.
