hi all, I stopped smoking last september, then put on about 2stone. I stopped til march this year then started (very slowly at first, maybe one a day then two ect until i was back to being a smoker!) I thought that the weight i had put on would fall off as i was back smoking again. It didn't! so then i thought i would diet as i was back smoking...i couldnt!! Kept cheating. Anyway...long story short, i havent had a cigarette for 1 month today and have been on this diet just over a week.
Dieting and smoking are both so difficult and require strength and willpower. And guilt is such a wasted emotion.
One thing at a time girls, then use the strength from controlling one adiction to fight the next. when you're ready to stop theres a website called 'whyquit.com' it is amazing, very honest and factual, and also has a forum like this one attatched to it....so when you are ready, if this has helped you lose weight then that will help you stop smoking.
good luck to you all
