Welcome to the forum and congratulations on quitting smoking. I know how hard that is having done it 10 years ago. If you can do that you can do anything. I imagine you took that one day at a time so do the same with your weight loss journey. Set small achievable goals and you'll get there. Don't look at the big picture. If you have a lot to lose it's too daunting. Good luck.
