I really like that idea ^^^ that way I'm not binging but I still get my chocolate as a reward for not smoking. I think it'll work.

Is it stupid to quit AND be on a diet? I just kinda figured that in order not to gain the weight, I better watch my arse, literally. Although maybe too much self deprivation is setting myself up for failure...

Major Dude - Glad your soup diet has worked for you....Right now learning how to eat healthy is a challenge for me plus it focusses on a whole new goal. It does take will-power but, then again, everything tastes good now so even that healthy food is good - add a little exercise and it's even better. Jan - I honestly didn't think about diet at all until the 90 day point. Quitting was hard enough for me...and sometimes I really needed those calorie-laden treats at the end of the day. I do think that exercise is important (even if it's just walking) and drinking lots of water. Many people have successful quits while munching on carrot sticks, celery and straws and they don't gain weight. (I wasn't one of them) I gained 10 lbs but have lost it since....Losing 10 lbs was nothing compared to surviving the first 3 weeks of my quit.

Major Dude, Thank you for sharing your thoughts & tips with us. Janeathena, Only you can be the judge of that. Certainly, making healthier choices now is a good place to start. Reserve the junk as rewards instead. Remember, if you feel deprived you can always go back to eating as you please and deal with the weight gain later.

Hi all and bless US for doing a good thing for the bodys that we have been given! I gotta tell you I lost 30#'s before i quit, I was lookin sort a skinny! Then I figured it was time to quit the nasty hag a smokin' which I did with the help of some Very fine friends in here. ( The unsmokables to name just a few )I was doin so good I decided to join the "reward yourself" group with a nice Basque meal every week! God it was great food, and I still love it all! From the bread, butter, salsa to the salad then the soup with beans and MORE salsa.. then the MAIN course of pasta, veges and Fish!!! NUMMY!!!!!!!! And you would not believe how good the sour dough bread went with this all! Just ask for more, all you could eat.. More butter please! LOL.. sorry as i go on but it has been a while and my 2 year quit grows near! If you wana drop some weight, it's going to take some will power. Believe me but it's not quite as much as kickin that cig in the _ss! I have just completed a 7 day soup diet which alot a people have pu pued, but I have have had success! I droped 9# in 6 days and thats no kiddin. ( I think it's mostly water buildup I have lost, but I will keep goin!) Focus and will power along with some senseable exercise will do. Be honest with yourself, and then tune into a space where resolve is the only option for you. You will succeed!! Burn more calories than you take in and you will lose weight. Good luck on your quests, I'm still workin on mine, with actually now.. some kinda fun!
