First of all, I too am so glad to hear that you did not smoke that cigarette! Secondly, it sounds like you are making so many positive changes in your life! You have quit smoking, you are eating breakfast and more than enough fruits and vegetables everyday, you have also given up diet cola and are drinking a lot of water (which is so good for you!) and you are more active. So, in saying that, focus on all of these amazing changes that you are making! It is so great that you feel good about yourself, I want you to keep that feeling. You should speak to your girlfriend, and tell her how what she said hurt you. I am sure she didn't mean to hurt you, but just make her aware of it, so she can be supportive rather than discouraging.
I think what you are doing is fantastic. We all put on a few pounds when we quit, but whats more importtant right now? You can always worry about the weight later. Good job on picking up the book and not the cigarette, that show courage and strength.
Congrats,
Kelly

I just wanted to say that yesterday I almost smoked a cigarrette. My girlfriend made the remark that I was gaining weight. She told me to watch more what I eat. She was saying that I am replacing the cigarrette by food and then I will be addicted to food and have trouble losing weight. I was upset with her....
I told her the following. Since I stop smoking maybe I eat a little more but I have improved my eating habits in the following ways:
1) I have breakfast every day
2) I eat 5-7 servings of fruit a day
3) I drink a lot of water. I gave up the diet colas..
4) I am doing more physical activity.
OVERALL, I FEEL GOOD ABOUT MYSELF.
In the moment, I was upset. After I told her this, I decided to pick a funny book and forgot that I need a cigarette. Sometimes when people around you give you negative feedback itmakes harder to quit smoking..
