    Congrats on quitting smoking! I quit too and I know how hard it is.

    I really understand your depression and lack of self-worth. I just posted something very similar to you a few minutes ago :)

    I would love to add you because I definitely need some support on here too.

    Also BIG congrats on the weight you have lost so far. That is GREAT!

    Congrats on quitting smoking and the weight loss!! =) I really hate how my body looks. My husband still calls me hot and sexy, but I hate how I look. I know I can do it if I just put my mind to it.
