You know that you can do what you can do. If you beat yourself up over weight loss or smoking it becomes this catch 22, damned if you do and damned if you don't. The worse thing you can do is become overwhelmed and then drop both. Maybe focus on quitting for a week or two, and give yourself permission to gain a specific amount, say 5 pounds. You can take those off after your body adjusts to you being a non-smoker

I figured I'd gain during my quit so I choose to quit before I started the Atkins WOE because I know I have this carb problem....all connected with serotonin levels that nicotine also releases.
