Oh myyy.. Almost 5 months and you're throwing it away??? Whoa!! Snap out of it! I know you don't want to do that or you would't have taken time to post, right? So, you've been given excellent advice here... Get rid of the cigarettes (go sink them in water...now, not later). Give yourself a forehead slap and ask "WHAT AM I DOING???" ... get serious, kick some butt... and get back with the program. Wow, do NOT throw your hard work away. Instead...get a new plan... one you can feel good about.
You know, in the time I've been here, weight has always been a big issue, especially with us women. And it's definitely true (we've heard it so many times)that you're better off not smoking and having the additional pounds. I agree with that 100%... BUT.. if we're to be honest, some of us...at some point in our quit.. we don't want to hear that anymore. Our jeans are tight, we're tired... or as in your case, you ran up on an old boyfriend and you just want to go back to the size you used to be, right? Smoking is going to make that happen! Woohoo! Wrong. As one gal said here... We'd just be fatter smokers (and it ages us too). So, smoking can't be an option...not for us vain gals anyway. Nobody said we can't stop smoking AND lose the weight. Of course we can do both! After all, we're the ones in control here...not our addictions. So get a new plan of action... get enthusiastic again!
My plan, I made myself my own project. I read anything motivational. I went to a bariatrician and I learned a great deal. It was worth every bit of the $55.00 I spent (tax deductible). I was doing a lot of things wrong. The weight came down...I feel normal again... and I still don't smoke. Give yourself a little more time. I promise, you'll be soooo glad you did... but I can also promise... you will be absolutely miserable and disgusted with yourself for smoking again.
Pull it together. Life is toooo good. Grab it by the horns.
