<musing after the smoking threads> POLL - Would you take up smoking if it guaranteed losing a stone a month?

[LaurieFairyCake]

I think I would

Only because I know I could give it up after 6 months

I would also get a 'mini gastric band' fitted if it was safe and could be removed after six months with no harm to me.

Yes.I know that's twattish but I'm desperate.

Me too, it's just so boring eating less.

Hell yeah. But what an indication of how fucked up my attitude to myself is, that I would rather risk killing myself than be a stone overweight

Yup. I'd like to take up smoking anyhow even after 8 years of not smoking cos I liked smoking.

Dolly I'm way more than a stone overweight but equally fucked up attitude

Mmmm anyone else fancy a fag...?

Oh go on then. Marlborough light??

Yeah, but Laurie, how do you know you'd be able to give it up? That's the problem with smoking. I bet there's not a single person in the world that started smoking thinking they'd get hooked. Everyone thinks they're the exception.

Where are the smoking threads, btw?
