-3...Again!

There's never a need to apologize for speaking what's on your mind. That's what this site is for. Good luck with everything and congratulations on the top-shelf quit you've got going.

The occasional photo of a proper meal is one thing. It's the folks who post photos of themselves eating pop-tarts and cupcakes then bragging that it fits their macronutrient profile that are the real problem. It's not my place to tell people what to eat, but I really wish they would stop trying to rationalize their terrible relationship with food via social media.

The one-upsmanship never stops. A rule of thumb that works for me is: steer clear of talking about nutrition with anyone who spends a lot of time posting photos of everything they eat on Facebook and/or Instagram. They've gone all in on some trendy diet and there's not a damn thing you can do for them at this point.

NOPE!

Run like the wind as excitement shivers up and down my spine!

As important as diet and exercise are, quitting smoking is the single best thing any smoker can do for themselves. You've already done that, so...good going. I have no aversion to the weirdness. It's the perpetual bickering that annoys me. Let the weird times roll.

NOPE!

Everyone knows how discussions of politics and religion on the internet end up. A lot of dogmatic fervor and ad hominem attacks. And now we can add diet and nutrition to the list of topics that it is increasingly difficult to have a reasonable discussion about. There are many camps in the discussion: Paleo, Keto, IIFYM, Vegetarian, Vegan, those people that eat 50 bananas a-day...the list goes on. It's frustrating and fascinating at the same time. People have allowed the diet they follow to become a part of their identity. And now we have people who are furious at others due to the fact that they eat differently. This is what about 95% of the internet looks like to me...

NOPE!

Good call. Knowledge about cigarettes and nicotine addiction destroys the myths and lies of smoking. When you see smoking for what it is, an exercise in futility that gives nothing but takes everything, your resolve will become unwavering. You're well on the your way to continued success. Good job.

You can never have too much Kinks in your life... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=voCM0eUyG2c

Good thinking Nancy. At T-minus 28 days to lido, it's not too early to start planning.

Welcome aboard Reciprocity. Congratulations on the quit and taking your life back. It sounds like you're right on schedule. Get those first couple of weeks behind you and the mental fog starts to clear. You are on your way. Get ready to reap the rewards of the process. That "disruption" that you feel is your mind and body adjusting to its newfound freedom. Embrace the process. Enjoy the ride.

NOPE!

Excellent choice Doreen. I think I may have mentioned a time or twelve that The Kinks are one of my favorite bands ever.
