My Dr. said I would have to gain 70 pounds to equal the risk my smoking caused. <BR/><BR/>I haven't gained any weight in the last 6 months so I have leveled off. I have continued to walk 30 minutes a day but need more if I want to lose. For the first time in my life I am on a diet. It's not near as hard as quitting smoking was so I am grateful for that. I feel better to. Your story about your Grandfather got me because I am 52 and not grandchildren yet. That was my biggest motivation to quit, I want to live long enough to see my grandchildren. At least your Grandfather got to enjoy you for 12 years before he died. I hope I am so fortunate. <BR/><BR/>Happy TT!<BR/>EileenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32199165.post-59882720693370926622009-02-26T14:39:00.000-05:002009-02-26T14:39:00.000-05:00I lost my grandpa to a heart attack n 1976 and I t...I lost my grandpa to a heart attack n 1976 and I think of him more, not less, as the years go on. So your #2 really hit very close to home. I'm sure he'd want me to lose weight -- not to make me more attractive to others because my grandpa thought I was beautiful just as I am. But so that I wouldn't meet his painful fate.
