I'm so happy

Never thought I could possibly quit AND stick to a diet. Not that I've been perfect. I'm smoke free today for 8 days, and for 7 of them ('cept yesterday) I stuck to my Atkins basics. What absolutely blows my mind is that when I went to the gym after a week of not-smoking, I had lost 8 lbs (I'd been on Atkins for about two weeks and then the loss was sudden.) I don't have a lot to lose, but I just REFUSE to gain weight. I worked hard just to get where I am.

You people have been soooooo helpful...I've read all the posts and just was lazy about posting/joining....but....thought I'd let you know I'm with you. by the way, the decision to quit smoking came as a demand...I had pleurisy and felt terrible.
Pain is a great motivator...now I have more energy than I've had in ages.

We can do this!

Best to all
