    Hello layla:

    What can you do?? You can stop all that stuff. If you can't do it by yourself, get some help.

    You have to change your life around... :D What else, girl? :)

    Get up early, eat three healthy meals a day including at least five fruits and vegetables and low fat, exercise every day, and go to bed at the same time every night. Break your old habits, so you will have to do this for six months.

    Meet new friends while you are exercising.

    Then, work on quitting smoking. I quit a 2 plus pack a day habit, so if I could do it, you can do it.

    Good Luck, life is difficult. It's not easy to be a "winner".

    Yes, you know what the problem is, so stop it, starting with no smoking, STOP, Then start eating regular balanced meals and start getting some exercise.

    Nuber one is STOP SMOKING. You can do it. I did it in 3 days. Then the rest. Do you want to be just like the repulsive slobs we see all over the place? I think not. They're discusting stuffing themselves into jeans and thinking they're attractive. Don't be like them. EXERCISE. That's the cure for most everything. Think healthy thoughts and look for beauty and not ugliness.

    If you have been smoking just a year or two, I would take richka's advice. If you have been smoking a long time--like 10 years--I actually think you should start with the easier stuff before you tackle the smoking. Smoking is the single hardest drug to quit. It's also the drug that is most worth quitting. That should definitely be your goal. But make a plan first and stick to it.

    Eat better, get regular exercise. But don't beat yourself up if you fall off the wagon. It's tough when you don't feel good. Just try again the next day. One day at a time.

    So, I would start by tapering off the chocolate, since that can contribute to headaches and is causing weight gain, which you need to slow down. When you are off the chocolate completely, tackle the headache pills--since you are probably getting rebound headaches. Taper off. Don't quit all at once.

    After you are eating better, walking or exercising regularly and off the chocolate and headache pills, start tapering off the tobacco. This is going to be hard and I won't give any advice because I've never quit smoking, but I have a healthy respect for how hard it is. Just remember that millions of people have quit smoking and you can too. If you relapse, don't beat yourself up, just quit again. You WILL succeed!

    When you feel you are really off the cigarettes, THEN worry about your weight and focus more on better diet, more exercise. Get away from things that make you sedentary, TV, computers, cars, etc.

    Good luck!
