Ya know? When I made up my mind to quit smoking, I did it in one swell foop. I also gave up my coffee and my alcohol on the same day that I gave up cigarettes. And the secret is this: When you get darn sick and tired of it, you'll quit smoking, for whatever reason you want to use. It came down to what I wanted more, not what was "best" for me.
Losing weight was the same thing. I was tired of looking like I did. I didn't feel good, I had a bad attitude, and I had a closet full of nice clothes I couldn't get into.
So I quit.
