Been alot more 'aware' of the quit this week, wanting to eat more, not cos i'm hungry, just to do something.
No desire to smoke tho which is great, the thought of it puts me off, i know it will taste bad and won't make me feel good in ANY way.
I'm putting the munchies and irritability down to it being the 'time of the month', cos i've been fine the past 2 weeks.
Still waking up throughout the night, but its not the end of the world.
Been in bed around 9pm for the last 3 nights!!! But again putting that down to time of the month again. Kinda makes sense to me.
Only thing i wish i was doing more of is exercise, started doing a few classes about a month ago but didn't go this week. I think i'll notice the benefits of the quit more if i could motivate myself to go. And obviously will help combat the amount i'm eating!!!
Trying not to worry about the food, irritability, sleep, lack of exercise issues this week. If it is time of the month stuff, then i'll be back on top form next week!! I hope!!
Anyway, into week 4 tomorrow, with nowhere to post for week 4......oooohhh the mystery of missing week 4!!!!

I too have lacked motivation recently :rolleyes: I got the kids home though so is harder. I have marked 10th September on my Yearly planner as a 'new me fresh start' date
I will get back to the gym and classes, join me in setting a new you date hehehe ~Buffy x x
Girls, what a great idea !! A "New Me" date to focus on when we lose a bit of focus from "plodding on".
I think we all have - or will - have periods now that we have stopped smoking, where we lull a little bit (it's one of the reasons why I visit the site so often!!).
Maybe we should all put a "New Me" forum together where we all share "what we are going to be when we grow up................." and who we really want to behave like (ie I'm going to stop smoking so that my skin reflects my true beauty - and I'm going to go to the gym 4 times per week so that my energy levels mean that dealing with anything at work or at home is a doddle !)
Time for boogying on down in celebration. Maybe you could try salsa like Funkmunkstar - you'll need one of those sexy spangly frocks and 10 inch heels though - oh and a rose between your teeth.
Oh Maximus I like the idea of a new me........now who would I be????????? I would like to......
Have a tight black catsuit
A pair of Dr Martins
Be respected
Be stronger
Be able to eat curry, chocolate, crispies, ice cream, nuts, etc. etc. and not put on one single pound.
Have very long curly spiraly hair (red)
Be a campaigner for disabled children, in my catsuit etc. so I get listened to cos they don't listen to me suited and booted.
Failing that I shall just like to be me, lost 1/2 stone, and smokeless.
