<human>: Can you succinctly summarize the text in 1-3 sentences?

that quitting smoking was much easier to manage. It is not as complex as calorie counting, reading up on proper nutrition, and staying focused and dedicated to a good workout plan. With quitting smoking the only rule is that you don't smoke, and it's very simple. We swim around the internet looking for information on how to get the best results with every calorie we eat, and with every session of working out. The sore muscles, the gallons of sweat, the tears from looking in the mirror, and even after all of it you can still get on the scale and see that you've lost nothing, or perhaps even gained a pound, but you still have to suck it up and keep going. With quitting smoking you are positively reinforced with every single day you can draw an X on the calendar to keep the counter going. As long as you do the right thing that counter will keep rising on a predictable interval, every 24 hours, another check, all you have to do is not smoke. When trying to lose weight you can be spot on perfect for a week and see no weight loss on the scale, come back 5 days later and see 1/2lb taken off, and you wonder if you're going to be stuck on this plateau for awhile, and if it's even worth it to keep at it.
<bot>: quitting smoking is quite difficult, but has no leg to stand on with regards to losing weight of a long period of time.
