im so gladd i quit smoking 5yrs ago i did it because of the horror i witness from a couple of family members last days of life battleing lung cancer its enough for me . so i decided to take control of my life by quitting the damn things my self,but since then ive put on 60lbs and my bp is up my cholesterol up and now ive just been tested for diabetes isnt that great! seems my blood sugar is up also . none of this was an issue when i was smoking .but anyway im not feeling sorry for myself been wanting to be able to fit back in my hockey equipment again maybe its a sign that i better take better care of myself . just very frustrated was wondering if any one else out there has any similar issue
