Order whatever food you want to eat. You can take the weight off later. With your health problems, especially the blood clot, you don't want to smoke. I quit smoking while I was being treated for TB. So I was in the house for the first few weeks. I'm also on disability, so right now I'm not working. I've had to deal with a lot of boredom. I've done everything, but smoke. I've put together puzzles, took up painting and drawing, read more, spend more time on the Internet, sleep more, and I ate little bit more for a while there. Usually I'd smoke right through an illness--even the flu. TB isn't so forgiving. I've managed to stay quit because of one thing: I don't want to smoke. I don't see it as a solution to anything. Instead I see it as a problem. It took all of my money. Ruined my health. Negatively affected my dating life. Assisted in making me fat by interfering with my ability to exercise. Stunk up my apartment. Sullied my clothing and my body. We're done.
