Call me crazy, but I want truthfull advice...

Good for you for being smoke free!! That is really great! My mom has been trying for a very long time to stop smoking. I do want to talk to my doctor about my wieght... I just have to get insurance I read an article about doctors NOT bringing up wieght issues when you go in, so I am going to ask her about it, weather or not my birth control is effecting my wieght and what she thinks. I feel a little better about it, my husband reminded me of the fact that muscle weighs more than fat, and I have ridden horses for most of my life, and my thighs are very muscular from that, my upper arms are also fairly muscular from doing pedicure massages. My mother in law told me the same thing, she said to take care of it now, before it's a lot harder later.
