    • Close Smoking Addiction & Recovery

      Quit 2/20/2009 Cold Turkey. Doing OK, but subsequent weight gain has triggered depression / body image issues.

      Treatments

      Cold Turkey Working / Worked
      So far so good. Glad I did it this way, it got the nicotine out of my system faster.
      Nicotine Gum Somewhat Helpful
      I only use this at times of "crisis" when distractions and other non-nicotine dependent methods fail.
      Nicotine Patch Not Working
      The patches just don't stay stuck. Expensive treatment for active (read sweaty) people.
      Support Groups Too Soon to Tell
      Helpful to stay focused and motivated
      Wellbutrin Not Working
      Was on this for 18+ months at one point for depression. Didn't see any decrease in my smoking at that time. HATED the side-effects.
    • Close Diets & Weight Maintenance

      Lost close to 50 lbs in 2008, then quit smoking 2/20/09 and put half of that back on as of 4/27/09. Very discouraged. I've suffered from low body image issues all my life.

      Treatments

      Eating Healthier Foods Too Soon to Tell
      I feel better...but also notice I never feel full for long.
      Eat Less Too Soon to Tell
      I know this is Key to my eating habits. Having a hard time finding reliable and effective information about how much caloric intake. Diets and web-sites are all over the map on how much.
      Physical Exercise Working / Worked
      Strength training 3x a week, but do something to keep my HR elevated for at least 20 min. Every day.
