Chantix is expensive, but effective. It attaches to the receptors that nicotine uses. This does two things. First, it makes you always feel as if you just had a cig. Second, if/when you smoke, the receptors are already full/occupied, so the smoking of a cigarette does nothing to change the way you feel. They become useless.

Cutting out the late night snacks is a great idea.

Another thing that will do wonders for your weight and body shape is to simply cut white flour and white sugar from your diet. Cutting all carbs is great, but if you simply cut the WHITE flour and sugar from your diet, you will notice a huge difference in just a few weeks. And this would still allow you to eat whole grain items such as bread. Sure, cutting all carbs is great but difficult. Simply switch to whole grains and natural sugars.

Which brings me to the next thing. Whole foods. Stay out of the isle-part of the supermarket. Buy your food around the perimeter. Fresh vegetables and meats.

If you make these changes, it will not take long for you to develop a distaste for processed foods. White bread will stop looking yummy. Boxed and canned foods will lose their appeal. Vegetables are (or at lest can be) just delicious. Eat all the potatoes you want. Just stay away from foods that come with an ingredient list on the package.

And as far as exercising goes, if you want to exert yourself and tax your cardio vascular system, great. But you don't have to do this. Take a walk each evening through your neighborhood. You will come to really enjoy it. This will also help you sleep better.

And turn off your TV. Switch from WATCHING stuff to DOING stuff. This too will increase your happiness and sense of peace.
