Well, I blogged about quitting smoking a few months ago, and I have a confession to make: I started again. I know I know, it's filthy, disgusting and potentially deadly, but I'm still struggling. They say you don't quit anything until you really want to, and I may have just discovered a tool that can help persuade myself and others battling bad habits that not only have serious health consequences, but also make your skin look like shit.
Enter the seriously scary world of digital imaging and new developments by Accenture Technology Labs and others that will allow people to upload a digital photo, provide answers to questions regarding your lifestyle, and literally predict how these daily decisions will affect the way you age. Intrepid GMA correspondent Andrea Canning went where few women would like to go (publicly at least) and posted her vision of the future if she smoked and overate. Want to see where you'll stand? Go to Age Me to find out. I would post mine, but it's too intense for a Thursday. 2 CommentsLeave a comment |

Erin,
If you are trying to quit smoking for good (it can be oddly scary, I know), you HAVE to get the book "The Easy Way to Quit Smoking" by Allen Carr. It was recommended to me by a co-worker and it is the ONLY thing that worked for me and, believe me, I had tried everything and was terrified I'd never be able to stop. The book REQUIRES that you continue to smoke until you are finished with the book. I don't know how it does it (some kind of Jedi mind-trick?!), but when you finish the book, you will have zero desire to smoke.
BTW, I quit strictly because of vanity. Isn't that sad? I wasn't concerned with dying but God forbid should I end up with saggy skin and not be pretty anymore... ; )
BTW, no need to print the info I sent a moment ago, I just wanted to share the information with you because I empathize with you re: how frusterating quitting can be (or as Allen Carr frames it, "how enjoyable becoming a non-smoker can be"). Good Luck!!
