I have tried to quit all three but I guess that's too much at once.
Eating was number 1. I have totally quit all fast food but I'm not perfect ( and I won't be until I quit working at Dominos 60 hours a week) but I hope to lose 20 pounds by spring. It's difficult ( as I type this I just ate raisonettes LOL) but I'm trying.
Cigs...well in NJ they are banning it from public places. BOOM...I think a lot of people feel they will quit when this happens. If I can't drink when I go out, I barely smoke any other time.
Drinking....that's too much fun to quit but I will say...I can't remember the last time I drank until I got sick. I did that for a long, long time but now it's like...as soon as I feel it, I stop.
So maybe I am not doing too bad...baby steps..but you guys are total inspirations!!

That doesn't sound too bad. Hey, I'm addicted to only working 20 hrs. per week, so you're way ahead of me there. I didn't quit smoking when they banned it in public places here. In fact, I don't think when I
started smoking you could smoke in public places. You think you'll quit, but really everyone just goes outside the bar and chats with everyone else who is smoking.
Oh, and I gained 20 lbs in 6 weeks, so don't feel bad.
People here inspire me, too.
