So my weight loss over the last three months has resulted in 25 pounds loss. I hit the 150s this morning (didn't eat well today though, so dunno if that lasted...). I feel better, look better, and am more confident. I loss the pant sizes dropping, the comments, all that.
Back in Feb I donated blood and had 180 cholesterol. This last week I donated and came in at 145 cholestrol, so I know my body is benefiting in more ways then just the numbers on the scale dropping.
But...despite the weight loss and lifestyle change...I am still a smoker. I am more ashamed of that then my weight.
I want to quit, and aside from the normal worries...can I? I have the worry that I will trade the smokes for food. I have a friend who doesn't even have a weight problem, she stopped smoking for a while and gained 10 pounds. I don't want to loss this progress while fighting off smoking. So should I wait, like I'm thinking I should? Tackle one thing at a time. I can't afford patches, and chewing gum hurts my teeth.
I don't know what to do.
