I think it's fabulous that you want to lose weight and to get a better perspective. I also think it's great that you have the discipline to do so. I ALSO think it's fantastic and admirable that you go to school AND work so much. AND, that you're 17.
You're in the right direction, and you have so much positive energy and dynamics, and that's a wonderful place to be at such a young age. Not to rain on your parade, but I do think that you might want to rely on some other form of diet or even fasting to lose weight. I'm so happy you're feeling great, but sometimes we feel euphoric when it's not actually a good cause.
Also, being a smoker (I, uh, am too, though I recently quit and so I'm in that between phase, where I won't admit I'm a smoker even though I smoke every day, I still consider myself just straying from my 'norm'), I would suggest you try an easier diet, and work on the smoking. I don't know s*** from shayana as far as what's good or not, but eating no food and smoking sounds REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY bad to me. I would work on the smoking first. THEN, work on everything else. Or, just do it all at once.
I am currently in a raw food phase, and I feel fabulous, and it's very, very easy to lose weight on this way of eating. I'm not doing it to lose weight, but to be healthy.
That's my 2 cents. I don't know if this is true, but it seems like smoking would counteract the benefits of a fast. Or, it would make the smoking impact your body even more. For the worse.
