no such thing......
.......you must be in the early days of giving up smoking and still have no tastebuds......
Yep, in the very early days of quitting the smokes, but there's now't amiss with my taste buds. I have no trouble differentiating between the taste of chocolate and those very scrumptuous yoghurt covered tidbits, however, I have noticed a difference on the bathroom scales since reducing my fat/calorie (chocolate) intake.
Now there's something you don't see/hear about every day....someone who's quitting smoking & losing weight at the same time. Being that arthritis and a spinal condition limits mobility/prohibits too much exercise, I was told that I'd certainly gain weight while quitting the smokes, but the opposite is true because I'm careful about what I eat & how much. Yep, it's still early days, but I've lost just on 1.4 kg since giving up the coffin nails near on five days ago.
I'm hoping to drop around 20kg - 25kg over the next six months or so, not so much to fix my mobility issues, but at least to improve them some. Nothing can fix these old bones entirely now (nobody's gonna spend 6 mil on an old fart like me), but it'd be nice just to be able to go for 'more pain-free' walks and not feel so out of breath.
