Default Stable weight

Ok, cool. It's been about 6 weeks since I quit smoking, and I gained some
weight but it seems to have stabilized. I went from 149-151 pounds to
156-158, and it's been holding steady for about 2 weeks now. I increased
aerobic exercise for a few days but I hated it so I went back to just doing
the weight training and walking. I've quit binge eating, but other than
that I haven't been consciously restricting how much I eat. I've had a few
carby splurges, like a 20g carbs chocolate bar once or twice a week, (I
wasn't low-carb at all at Dragoncon this past weekend, but I was also far
more active than usual, so I don't think it hurt me.) Never went
completely off low-carb, just less strict than when I was actively trying
to lose weight. Seems my body has stabilized at this weight for now, and I
feel mentally and emotionally stable, so it's time to nudge up the exercise
and nudge down the eating, and get back into the losing game. )

I have only 3 flaws. My first flaw is thinking that I only have 3 flaws.

Congratulations to you, Michelle!! I had my last cigarette two years ago
last month and found quitting smoking to be one of the most difficult things
I've ever done in my life. You are doing so well! I like how you sometimes
use this forum as a journal, talking about your feelings and your progress
with the things you're accomplishing in your life. You really are an
inspiration and I thank you for that!

Good job, Luna. The weight will come off again, and losing the cigarettes
will have a much bigger impact on your long term health and well being than
a few weeks of setback in your weight loss.

Congratulations on quitting smoking. I did it for myself 10 years ago.
