no,i'm smoking a lot less,every fag makes me feel rotten with guilt and yesterday i bought lots of lozengers and i actually can't wait to be free of the damn things

fee77 · 07/04/2005 14:13

Yeah - i am happy again!! Massive attack of pmt the other night. Tears and tantrums, but at least i didn't smoke!
Good luck for monday whymummy - you can do it - you've done it before!
Private villa in turkey - lovely - room for any more? We are going to a caravan in coombe martin - i can't wait, but i think the smoking thing will be hard. In the past we sat on deckchairs getting wasted and chain smoking!

whymummy · 07/04/2005 14:21

thanks fee
whatever you do on holiday don't make the same mistake as me,i really feel dreadful now and i could slap myself

dropinthe · 07/04/2005 14:23

EXACTLY! To me holidays mean wine and food and fags!!

whymummy · 07/04/2005 14:29

really ,really don't do it,that's exactly what i thought when i arrived in spain and now i have to pay the price,really not worth it,plus all the weight i put on when i gave up is still around my middriff and is now going to be double when i give up again,mrs blobby

dropinthe · 07/04/2005 14:33

Well,at least I would have stopped for five months and the memory will be a distant one but I doubt it!! Just have to gorge on Turkish Tapas,eh??

whymummy · 07/04/2005 14:35

LOL yes,stuff yourself with turkish delights,on second thoughts i rather smoke, they taste like soap to me,lol

dropinthe · 07/04/2005 14:36

Can take small amounts of!

whymummy · 07/04/2005 14:38

i just lick the chocolate off

fee77 · 07/04/2005 18:29

I have only put on a couple of pounds since stopping, but seeing as i was massive anyway i have now joined weight watchers. One week in and it is not going too bad. But poor dh is having a lot of hassle at work and desperately wants to smoke and eat!! And drink!

whymummy · 07/04/2005 18:48

good luck fee,i'm going to exersise like mad from monday too,lots of sit ups as the peanut m&ms i eat when i gave up have gone to my belly and i look pregnant,people even offer me their seat on the bus,lol

fionagib · 08/04/2005 18:54

Hi folks, sorry for long absense.... have been rubbish lately, occasionally snatching dh's ciggies late at night and chuffing away. Today is my new stop date, have some 10k races coming up and don't wanna be a wheezy old chuffer any more.

am going away to yorkshire for a week tomorrow, & will check in with you strong willed folks next w'end to report a fag free week... xx

fee77 · 10/04/2005 13:12

Tomorrow the day whymummy - best of luck, you know you can do it. And you to fionag!
I am actually feeling quite smug to day as i haven't smoked for ages and have gone up a notch on my (well dhs!) belt.
Com'on girls we want to amaze cc when she gets back!

whymummy · 10/04/2005 13:59

Audra · 11/04/2005 12:44

I gave up on 20 October 2001 after about 15 years of trying to quit. I eventually did it with hypnotism. If any of you fail, try it. It is so much easier than finding willpower you may not have. Have not had or felt like one since.

dropinthe · 11/04/2005 16:11

Didnt work for me I'm afraid but good on you!
On the lozzies yet Why? Tell you what,I wouldnt advise drinking strong fresh coffee whilst having one in the gob-did that today and got the worst headache in the world. Has only gone with two mega strength paras!

dropinthe · 11/04/2005 16:11

Thats tablets not men!!

prettyfly1 · 11/04/2005 16:17

hi guys,

because starting with a full day seems like a whole new start and a good way to stop. Go to bed horrid and faggy - wake up and fresh and lush and non faggy. I have my nasty gum at the ready and a full days non smoking planned to keep me amused. Have only had two today so not too bad anyway. Why mummy you know you can do it. Still looking at hypno myself but it seems like such a lot of money if it doesnt work?

dropinthe · 11/04/2005 16:25

LOL-Its a long time since I felt fresh and lush!! Ha!Ha!

whymummy · 11/04/2005 19:51

hi
thanks prettyfly,good luck for tomorrow.

prettyfly1 · 11/04/2005 22:17
