IT TAKES A GOOD MAN TO QUIT.Well ask yuself just one question...............DO YU WANNA SEE YU GRAND-CHILDREN GROW UP? iM NOT PREACHING.....................GIVE AN HONEST ANSWER?
Hi Tommy,
I hear what you are saying.
It takes an ex-smoker to know and understand the addictive power of nicotine and how difficult it is to withdraw and quit.
I was very sorry to hear about your heart attack last September. Apparently, I missed that piece of news. Had I known, I would have sent you a get well card. I hope your recuperation is going successfully.
I have also had an ongoing weight problem for the past fifteen years. A few weeks ago, I decided to get serious about it, as I am not getting any younger, at my current age of 61. It's either now or never.
I have cut out beef and pork and mostly eat fish and a little bit of chicken. I have cut back my portion sizes and am eating more vegetables. I have stopped going to fast food restaurants, which means no more fast food hamburgers and french fries. The only snacks I am eating right now are apples, raw almonds, and raw walnuts. I have also cut out alcohol and the martinis I used to so dearly love for many years.
Like smoking, this has to be a lifetime commitment. Merely going on a diet is only a temporary measure. Instead, I am making what I hope will become some permanent changes in my eating habits. It I stick to it, the weight should come off in due time.
One doctor is trying to talk me into becoming a vegetarian, but I am not so sure that I want to go route. But I am not ruling it out for the future.
Sorry for the tangent.
Where are my manners? This topic is supposed to be about Eric Strange's birthday.
Happy Birthday, Eric!
Did I read somewhere that you were a smoker too? If so, then you will hear no lectures from me. I was a smoker at your age too.
Let me close by thanking you for all of your contributions and hard work you are providing for the game of checkers.
All The Best,
Dennis Cayton
