That is why i am fighting withthem Doris, it is state insurance but they were done so that I wouldn't have problems later down the road, can't get infections so they tell me and they decided to do it, well medicaid agreed to pay then they made me return to work, part time, and reduced my ins and told me it wasn't approved. This was after they approved it then we pulled them then they told me they wouldn't I was so mad. How can they start something like that then say "oh well, now we aren't going to." seems to me if they start it they should have to follow thru with it. Better not get on that high horse or i will really get going. lol

"You can lose weight, you cannot grow a new lung." That was the sentence I would say to myself as I had to buy some bigger sizes pants. I ate like mad BUT I stopped smoking. And now I am struggling with losing weight. I hate it but it was worth it. Stopping smoking was a big deal for me.

Baby Carrots helped a lot. They are a good munchy snack and yummy.

I think the "one year" thing is a good idea! i am like you I crave food all kinds anytime. i am about where you are about 150, which is why he is saying he wants me to loose weight. but he will just have to wait until i am totally smoke free.

I'm in the process of doing that now and have found that if I don't have a cig I WANT FOOD!!!!! Anything , anykind, it really doesn't matter to me! As for losing weight right now, I'm like you it WON'T happen!!! Geroge has a good idea here. Let's give ourselves a year before we start dieting!!! I've always been aroude 130 but in the last 3 weeks I think I'm up to 150 now! Wait got to get on those scales and find out for sure! HA! Like that's going to happen right now!!!!

I celebrated my 2 years smoke free yesterday. I used the patch and it really worked. I was smoking a pack a day for 15 years.

I quit smoking and gave myself 1 year before I was going to worry about my weight. I knew I was going to put on weight and I had to be okay with it. I knew the smoking had to be stopped first. After that year I joined weight watchers and have lost 42 pounds so far. It is still slow going but I know I am a non smoker.

Good luck!
