Is 0bx short for Obelix? I see that you are from Belgium and I know Asterix is popular there :-)

That's what a lot of fat people who are ex-smokers use as an excuse for getting fat. They can always claim it's the tobacco-withdrawals and not the fact that they eat enough to feed a small island in the Pacific everyday! :-D Congratulations btw. I hope you can keep it up for ever (not smoking).

And some of us were fat before we gave up smoking which we now use for an excuse anyway. Have you seen the size of some of those Pacific Islanders, watch some of the RWC, Fiji, Tonga come to mind. Monsters the lot of them. Biafra is the place you were looking for!

No, it's short for "obxure", as in "obscure", as in obscure code. bx is also the base register in intel x86 assembly. I thought it was quite clever and awesome when I was in my puberty and I never bothered to change it since then.

Ah thanks. 8086/8088 assembler coding used to be fun, way back! :-)

Congratulations. Remember that whenever you feel a craving, the best thing to do is to admit to yourself that you really want a cigarette, and then the craving will go away.

Congratulations - I stopped about 6 weeks ago and feel loads better for it. The first couple of days were hardest for me but after that I started sleeping better, felt better when I woke up, was breathing easier etc. One thing I really found to help was to do some exercise - even if it's just a 20 minute walk a couple of times a week.

Congrats. I quit successfully over a year and a half ago. The first few days when quitting are normally brutal. I tried many times before but this time was different for two reasons: 1) I was mentally ready to quit and thought of myself as a non smoker from day one, not a smoker desperately trying not to smoke and the most important factor for my success was 2) I timed it right to coincide with holidays and availed myself of the soothing power of "herbal" cigarettes (if you know what I mean) and that was the best time quitting I ever had. I tried many times in the past but never with the assistance of the herb and it's ideal, smoothed out my raging emotions and left me happy and pleasant.

Generally, fat gain is not tied to caloric intake but rather insulin spikes driving fat storage caused by eating too much sugar or carbohydrates. I used to think the same way and be biased against fat people but I know better now thanks to science[^]. I'm also losing fat at an incredible pace, just had to replace a bunch of clothes.

Thank you for your kind words. :-) Being mentally ready is indeed the decisive advantage. Just started to work for a nice little web-bureau and they're having a really good vibe going on there. They give me a lot of freedom to work on stuff I find interesting, which is a major improvement over being forced to be a cogwheel in a big lie-factory. I still feel like a smoker though, been coughing like crazy because my lungs are starting to open up a little. Or maybe my throat is becoming more habitable for bacteria, I don't know. ^^ Now I'm entering day five. Entering the weekend will be the real challenge.
