day 50
Hi all, it has been a while since I posted, I have been in reading how well everyone is doing congratulations to you all. I have been smoke free for 50 days I am so proud of myself. I am still doing it one day at a time as I may always have to but the main thing is that I am still smoke free. Sleep still does not come easily, and I have put on a fair bit of weight but I am sure that in the future sleep will come and my weight
Sorry I hadn't quite finished my rant, trouble is I have big fingers and sometimes I hit the wrong part of the screen. This week my weight has been a bit of an issue, so I am thinking about smoking a bit too much, I know that smoking is not good for me and I just have to keep telling myself not to be to hard on myself I will get control back over the weight in time. So tomorrow is another day and I will remain smoke free.
Hi Storm...you have done so well...
take 1 day at a time,
tackle 1 issue at a time
And don't be hard on yourself.
We are our own worst critics, but in your case..
Give yourself a Gold Star.
that voice that tells you your not perfect is the same voice that wants a smoke, tell it to go kiss the back end of a dog :)
I am 36 days have put a few KG's on and I don't care one day at time on thing at time, your doing great !!

Here's a thought... Tongue in cheek. If we can give away the expensive, destructive habit we may be able to afford a personal trainer, or better still, someone to workout for us. Just being flippant & kidding. I would rather be free from a killer addiction and worry about the weight reduction later.
Well done on your 50 days. That is a great achievement and a reason never to look back. The weight thing is a side-effect of giving up (to state the bleeding obvious). I'm nearly nine months down the track and, as the weather gets cooler, can't quite fit into my winter clothes. In the one hand, I curse - why should we be rewarded for doing something this hard by putting on weight? On the other hand, who cares - losing weight has to be easier than giving up this tawdry addiction.
Don't worry - all in good time.
Well done storm, 50 days is a big achievement!!! I was worried about putting on weight too but I thought.....bugger the weight, I'm 64 and will never look like Elle McPherson lol!! In saying that keep up the good work with your non smoking and worry about the weight later!!
Thanks all for your comments and support, they made me smile I know a bit of weight is not really a problem, and I will get my act together, but at the moment it has to be one day at a time one thing at a time. I am so thankful for this forum I am sure that without it I would not have made it this far
Well done Storm. Awesome achievement. Don't worry about the weight.
Just keep doing it one day at a time.xx
