The week before I quit smoking I went on one of those soup diets and lost 6 lbs (I think, long time ago now) It got me to eating healthy and snacking on veggies. So when I quit I started watching calories and exercising. I bought allot of low fat foods, low sugar candies to eat and REALLY tried NOT to replace my smoking with food. I quit in April so the weather was good, I walked 2 miles in the morn and 2 at night, plus I rode my bike whenever I could. Hubby and I did allot of seadooing since it was so hot last summer and I know that helped (swam allot in the Niagara River) This winter I have worked out with DVD's and I have an exercise bike, plus I walk when the weather allows.
It has been a long hard journey but one that I am proud of. I also got a new job, its like a whole new me
It can be done (diet and quit) but I am telling you it was HARD, but it is WORTH it!!!!
