Hi Eleanor,
No smoking *and* no s? Wow, that's a tall order.
There are a lot of obvious difficulties with doing
both at once, but the thing is, I think your
resolutions *can* feed off each other and help each
other out. Success in one can fuel your resolve in the
other (but the opposite is true too, so be careful).
Since smoking and snacking are at least partly ritual,
it might be good to try to think up a replacement
ritual. Caffeine still ok? :-)
Best of luck,
Reinhard
