Despite all of the “common wisdom” out there that says people gain weight when they quit smoking I decided to reisk my forward (or is that downward?) momentum on my weight loss goal by quitting smoking as well. It’s now been 10 days without a cigarette (wow! I actually had to look that up 
) and in that time I’ve lost another 6 pounds! WooHoo!
Yep, I’m finally under the 230 mark . Just barely, but I’m under. Considering I decided to lose weight when I was at 250, got stuck at 240, and somehow shot up to 253 a mere five weeks ago, I must say I’m pretty darn pleased with myself. 229 pounds still isn’t even halfway to my target weight, but if I take the stated goal literally (“lose 50 pounds”), then I’ve accomplished that handily 
I’m not trying to say that quitting smoking allowed me to lose the weight. I’m sure it’s all the walking and sticking to my Subway diet 5 days a week that has really made the difference. However, I was really expecting to bounce back up once the smokes were gone and I’m glad to say that hasn’t been the case.

I make those “scrolly bits” using the marquee tag and stoll the idea from a site called Hell’s Handmaiden (which is apparently now defunct
)
