Smoking and weight loss


Rob told me on December 30th that he was going to quit smoking, Praise the Lord for this. I didn't know that he was going cold turkey though. He started on the first and now it has been 5 days. I am so proud of him. Please pray for him to keep it up. This is his choice not mine so I am determined not to nag him, but to encourage him. One of the ways I am trying to encourage him is that I have started my New Years "diet". Really its not a diet, I've just cut way back on sugars and starches and calories. I asked Rob how long he thought he could go before it became unbearable for him and he said two weeks. So with that we have decided to keep each other accountable for only two weeks to start with. After two weeks we will go one week at a time. We both have to be honest with one another, which of course I'm all for that's one thing that keeps a marriage strong. No cheating. He's on day 5 and I'm on day 4. I didn't know he was going cold turkey until half way through the 1st of the year that's why I'm one day behind. This is a huge answer to prayer for me in so many ways. I'm so proud of my husband.
