I have two:

1. I quit smoking a couple of months ago, and I resolve to keep it up.
2. Once a week, in this forum, I will post a positive article about the US and/or say something nice to bblight.

Cold turkey, yes. It's the hardest goddamned thing I've ever done. And I just love the drop in metabolism and the extra ten pounds you get for free! I've had to join the gym just to balance it all out. Bloody hell.

Not going to offer up your own resolution, Pat? Thought maybe you'd be nicer to liberals or something ... ;)

I'll be gentle baby.

No, seriously I haven't given resolutions a thought.
Go to the gym and stick to it...no that was last year.
Better money mgnt. with gambling...no that was last year.

Good for you with the cold turkey,its very hard.

I still chew the gum,but I don't care its not smoking.

Quitting smoking ain't that tough - I quit about 15 years ago. One little trick, everytime you get an urge, drink some water and think of a pile of dog crap - how it smells, it's texture, etc.. - after a while, your mind associates the urge to smoke and the pile of crap, and you stop having urges - drinking the water keeps you away from the food and an ever expanding waste line.

Good luck.

Losing wait is really tough. If you quit smoking, you don't reinforce the habit - when you're trying to diet, you continue to reenforce eating by eating! And being married to a great cook doesn't help.
