How I Kicked the Habit
Now, an avid fitness junkie (and foodie), would it surprise you to know that eight years ago, I was a world champion couch potato, smoked a pack a day, ate absolute crap, and felt like poo all the time? Yes, I was a smoker. And, "how can this be, Kimmie?"- you may be inclined to ask. Honestly it all started back in college at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville circa 1997-2002. Pre-Zoom and other cyber conference methods, we used to meet "old skool" in the University library for our study sessions and group projects. And, they were all smoking rooms!! It's hard to believe that now while we have "Non-Smoking" sections of public sidewalks! My mom worked in an Engineering office where all of the ladies smoked right there at their desk! So, yea, it hasn't been that long ago that our smoking rules/culture have changed in the USA. Additionally, I grew up in tobacco country, the South! Anyways, I digressed there...oh yea, so it was one night ...
