Yeah, I can't imagine that. I quit smoking one time and went from about 160 up to about 190. Those 30 extra pounds make me feel like I was wearing full sandbags for clothes as I went up and down stairs. I can't image being 100+ pounds heavier than normal.

Try carrying around a 30 pound watermelon all day, or several of them. Yikes.

Felt the same way when I quit smoking and shot up from 170 to 200 in just a few months. Miserable. Even my voice sounded fat! And bending over to tie my shoes... I never want to feel like that again.

Sadly, the weight came off when I resumed smoking.
