I quit smoking almost 4 weeks ago after being a smoker for 30 years ! Yes Kuddos to me !!

..... my problem now is my stomach

Ever since i put down that last cigg, I have been walking for an hr each day at a fast pace, Been eating only whole foods, min carbs, ww, and no bad snacks nor fats ! In other words Ive really been trying to be extra good as too not have a reason to go back to them damn sticks ! I am 47 yrs old,5'5" medium build n weigh an unhealthy 159...BUT I LOOK PREGNANT !!!!! I made a gyno appt and my an appt to see my GP, but they can't see me till next week and I'm not liking what Im seeing...its growing and no I am NOT pregnant !!!! thank you for letting me share my feelings here !!

Congrats on quitting smoking! As each day and week goes by, you will be sooo glad that you did! It's going on 3 yrs for me, after 30+ yrs smoking.
I didn't watch my food or exercise so the pounds piled on...

Good that you have doc appointments booked so you can find out what's really going on.

PS: Your docs will be really happy when you tell them that you've quit the cigs!

Congrats ladies on being cig free. I quit 9 months ago. I was already obese and got bigger after I quit. Now that I am cig free I can work on the weight. I have a stomach too but mine is a hernia. I didnt know I had one untill a nurse told me. You might have a hernia.
