Schnoll) showed us. I started to go to gym three times a week, and I feel much better. It's easier to breathe and to move around. I started to eat properly before I go to gym and when I come back from gym. I lost 15 pounds since the beginning of the semester, since I eat proper meals during my daily bases. I used to smoke pack a day, since summer I lowered the amount and I plan to quit with in another 2 month.
