Hi Kelly,
True ... my body wasn't a prize winner on my quit
date, so I was actually (according to the Canadian
BMI index) a fat smoker.
But now that I've stopped smoking, I've become a
fatter ex-smoker. The difference is, I think ...
I was a fat smoker who felt a lot better about how
she looked and felt with 20 less pounds to haul
around.
I joined the seemingly related Healthy Weight Center
(are these american-based or Canadian-based sites??),
as the moderators seem to be suggesting that it might
be of some use to ex-smokers trying to lose weight.
Joining "communities" for support, whether to quit
smoking, to lose weight, to start or to stop anything,
has never been a huge help to me, but I've joined, and
I'll go through the program there.
