I've read through all you comments and thank you so much. Astrofan you are right on, its just what I needed to hear (read?). I'm gonna take things one at a time after I go shopping! I've spent so much time worrying and stressing I'm pretty much over it-I've had ENOUGH! I even made an appointment for a pedicure just because. 80 days right? Thats my treat. I am going to start keeping a better eye on what I eat but number one is my quit. Am I getting this right?

Congrats on the 80 days.. Your daughter is soo proud of you.. You do have time to drop a few pounds... but there are bigger dress sizes too... So like Jim said enlist your daughter or a friend and hit some sales..
I have been trying to watch my wqeight while quitting.. sometimes. especially is it is something with a lot of calories.. I used the sandwich plate and not the dinner plate. I use a small bowl for snacks.. so I can see what I am eating. A glass of water or cup of soup before you eat also helps to make you feel full.
Congrats on the 80 days... You are a winner
Bonnie also 80 days (big grin)

Instead of going down the list and stresses over all of it at the same time, Pick one thing, take care of it. Then go on to the next thing. If you break it down and take care of each thing one at a time you will be less stressed. So you gained some weight, it is not something you can change in the long run, so just accept it find a nice dress and enjoy the wedding. When that is over then think about the surgery. And so on. Only do what you can do today. Don't worry about tomarrow until it gets here, because you know what things could change overnight. Deal with the here and now. Because stress is your number one enemy for many reasons. I was a major stressor until I was told that if I didn't get it under control it could kill me.
So take a deep breath and take one thing at a time.
Good Luck and enjoy that wedding. :)

i hate to make this comment because i don't think ladie's like to here it but it's true.
like jim said , just relax and remember , we tend to stress out about the way folks see us , but the reality is they don't pay really that much attention.
if you had lost 100 lbs maybe , if you had gained 100 lbs maybe , but 17 lbs is no big deal. just go buy a nice dress or even pant suit and you'll look great.
and you'll feel great to not be smoking on such a blessed day.
