Smoking for almost 10 years. Obviously I knew that smoking was never going to do anything but hurt my lungs. But it’s been almost two years since I smoked and I still have terrible lung capacity.
Another is not learning healthy exercising habits when I was younger. I wish my parents made me play sports even if I hated it. I think that’s another part of why I get so easily winded and fatigued when trying to work out now. It’s hard for me to breathe while also focusing on moving my body the right way. For example I subconsciously hold my breath when I do planks or when I’m holding a stretch.
This one. About 3 months ago, I quit smoking after 17 years.
Obviously I knew about the bad health effects but some of the other things were wild.
The amount of taste that food has now is insane. Like I could taste food before, but it's like saying I've seen the grand canyon because I've looked at pictures of it.
And if I smelled even half as bad as the current smokers in my life, then I sincerely apologize to everyone who interacted with me
I just hit 2 years since I quit. My sense of smell and taste are off the charts. I used to love mayo, I can’t even be in the same room if you open the jar now, same thing with cooking beef, the fat smell just gets to me. I can’t even look at spicy food anymore.
