1st day down...
I quit today, not my first time, however I am serious about it this time. Am sick of feeling like rubbish, having a constant cough and looking haggard! Funny thing is I only really took up the bad habit about 5yrs ago! Idiot! Feel good already though as crazy as that sounds. Did a lot more as well..instead of sitting around smoking on my porch all day.
Congratulations Lise !!
You are looking and feeling better every day.
Your skin will glow from more oxygen and your eyes will sparkle ;)
Keep up the amazing effort x
Hi lise, great to have someone quitting the same day as me. How did you go today? I've eaten 12 muesli bars but I guess that's better than 20 smokes. I feel like I look haggard too, drinking lots of water as it helps your skin. Besides not smoking have made short and long term goals to aim for, this helps keep me off my porch. Well stay strong there s plenty of support here and hey, we just made it through day one.
Hi Lise , good girl on deciding to quit you will not regret it.... your skin will look so much better hair, nails too. Smoking can make you look haggard I did hated it , I look healthier now a little chubbier but so what ... I am alive!!! keep posting here and reading posts really helps. Best of luck with it and stay strong.
People who don't know I smoked or have given up have commented on how well I'm looking these days or how fresh faced I look! It's great!
I also notice the smell of smoke on others - including those I never knew smoked before!
No such thing as a secret smoker!
Hi Lise,
Yeah, there's absolutely no positives in being a smoker, It's all negative, You smell of cigarette smoke, Your teeth arent white, Your taste buds are shot to pieces, etc etc and so the list goes on..
It's all positive from here, keep strong, keep focused and you'll get there..Good luck
Thanks so much for all of your support friends!! Was having a battle this afternoon but came through in the end and feel great because of it. Yeah foods are already starting to taste better! Nice to be able to re-wear a cardigan or jacket as it does not reek as well!
