Wow! It's been a long time since I've been here, but tonight I was drawn. Maybe because my one year is coming up...it feels so nice!
I am 4 pounds from reaching my "smoking weight". I have lost almost 20 pounds, and then I am going to keep going for twenty more to be non-smoking AND at a perfect weight for me!! You know, reality is, in my book, if we can quit smoking, we can do ANYTHING!!! It just has to be the right time, when we, body and soul, are truly ready, with no game plans.
Metabolism changes drastically (or at least it did for me)when your body is suppressed by nicotine for years and then it isn't. It wasn't ALL about shoving food in my mouth! After about 6 months I found that I was finally starting to lose weight. I then joined Curves and am trying to be more disciplined about what I put in my mouth.
Good luck to everyone! xo N.O.P.E.!!
