[QUOTE="Jabberwockey, post: 706679, member: 18238"] That sounds a bit harsh. I've never had to distance myself from friends who smoke. Then again, you've been quit for 40 years and I've been quit for 2 months...this time. Although I will say that each time I dealt with a trigger when quitting, it makes it easier to deal with the situation while quit. Being around smokers doesn't bother me any more than being in a bar makes me want a cigarette. My main triggers at this point are being tired and long car rides. Yeah, not so much on the fasting here. Lil gets outright cranky when she goes too long without food. We've never tested her blood sugar at that point but I'd bet money that it was too low. As for me, drinking on an empty stomach first makes me nauseous then hungry. Someone mentioned earlier about the benefits of the Vegan thing. Enjoy but that isn't for me. I long ago embraced my inner carnivore and we are on VERY good terms! The way I see it, our bodies were designed to consume both meat and vegetables so see no point in trying something like that. I have no problem with other people doing it, whatever works for you, but I passed the point of being able to give up meat probably before I hit double digits on my age. I grew up on a farm. You might want to be cautious with this logic. It may well mimic the way our ancestors ate but our lifestyles certainly don't mimic the way they lived. Look at it this way, you cant eat like an athlete training for a completion without the training regimen that goes along with it our you will pack on the pounds. I read an article somewhere about the routine Hugh Jackman was on for the last Wolverine movie to get into shape. He was eating in the neighborhood of a 5000 calorie diet with the focus being on lean meats like chicken breasts and working out for 5 or 6 hours a day. Actually, he said he was eating so much that he had trouble choking it down but the trainer insisted it was necessary.
