Change a Habit in Three Steps with This Flowchart I'm going to promote your comment by way of calling you out for being a bullshitter extraordinaire. Nicotine is one of the most famously addictive substances known. There are many cases reported of people who were told they had cancer, were on drugs and treatment to help them fight cancer, and yet could not stop smoking tobacco. The BBC had a documentary about this phenomenon at least 15 years ago. If you claim that you simply stopped your addiction to tobacco and 'it was easy', I can only suspect you to be either a liar or someone with above-human psychological abilities. Next, you denounce anyone who can't lose weight as being 'weak, lazy' and lacking motivation. You're a troll, right? Fuck you. I do know many people who have just quit tobacco, even after many many years. The simple fact is some people can do it, others cannot. Plenty of people quit that way.

Shameless Self-Promotion Is a Good Thing in Job Interviews I'll agree with this more. I think the self-promotion comes in more for me during the prep process when I'm anticipating their questions because I want to think of 10 different examples of how awesome I've been. For the actual interview, I just emphasize those examples and comment a little extra. Like, I had an interview with a company that is notoriously goal-based (you have daily, weekly, monthly, and quarterly sales quotas that come into play for your bonus and your managers' bonuses), so I talked about taking way too many classes at once with a full-time job. They asked about handling a customer service issue, and I told them about a family that I took care of when the housekeeping staff didn't clean their room and we had no other available ones. At the end of both of these, I said something along the lines of, "It was nice to feel proud of myself for handling more than I knew I could." If they challenged me on those, though, then I would have backed down, so there's that.
