I'd love to share this weight loss experience. And this forum is the perfect place. Today I looked through all the materials I was given, made a list of a few things I thought I would need before starting tomorrow. And its a good job I'm starting tomorrow because one of hubby's co-workers just came back from Poland and brought the most delicious chocolates back. I had a hard time keep my mitts out of the box!!!! This was the rationale - "Oh well, we don't want any of these chocolates kicking around tomorrow, best stuff in as many as possible today." Now, back to the healthy eating. I was thinking that since I stopped smoking I really like "comfort" foods. Soups are a favourite, and there are many great healthy soup recipes out there. So I'm trying to concentrate on what I really like to eat, and find different recipes and ways to prepare them with less fat, more veggies, etc. No sense eating salad and steamed fish all the time. I really think we need to concentrate on what we like(within reason). Let the pounds disappear!!!!

Way to go Jan - Your quit is strong...Actually obsessing about diet and exercise has been good for me because I stopped obsessing about cigarettes. I seem to be stuck right now (not going up but not going down anymore) On the weekend a friend told me that I looked good (Ego going up!) then she said, "I didn't realize it until now but you used to be a little chubby" (Ego going back down) Oh well...it felt good while it lasted.

Hi Jan, Maybe we can start another support thread for our weight loss since we are now 3 months quit. I need to really start focusing on my diet again. I had a rough bump over last two weeks and gain more weight. Let me know what you think?

***heavy sigh*** I need to also. My bathroom mirror is the same one that has been in there since a remodel 10 years ago, but I SWEAR I think someone replaced it with one of those carnival mirrors as a joke.....

I broke down and did it. I joined a weight watching group this morning. I've been quit smoking for over 3 months now and I think I'm ready to give this a go. Hope it works!
