A friend of mine needed to lose weight (about 50 lbs.). She was at the doctor and mentioned that she was thinking of quitting smoking. The doctor congratulated her and then added, "But don't gain more weight!" She said that she knew she was in bad shape when the doctor was more concerned about her weight than if she quit smoking or not.

She not only quit smoking, but she lost 55 pounds! She looks amazing, and says that she's never felt better.
