Week 3

[nsd_user663_3768]

:cool:Technically I'm not here till tomorrow, but even impending doom between now and 1159pm, would not make me light up, so I'm starting my thread for week 3 now.

To think I joined on day 3. It seems so long ago now - bizarre.

[nsd_user663_3633]

Congrats

[nsd_user663_3768]

Still going strong, will soon be longer off the smokes that being back on them. Getting days now where I don't even think think about smoking at all (like a proper non smoker).

Starting to feel like my few weeks back on them was nothing more than a blip.

Wonder how many new members we will have have come Jan?

[NicFirth 10 Years Smoke Free]

It would be nice if we got a few!!!

Never understood the idea of New Years resolutions though, come midnight on the 1st beer is generally doing my thinking for me :confused::eek:

[nsd_user663_3687]

well done!!! keep going x

[nsd_user663_3856]

Hey Folks... well I'm a newbie, but I have already done three weeks cold turkey... OMG its been so hard doing it over xmas.

who else is eating like they have announced a famine is starting tomorrow... I'm even eating Breakfast every morning, which is unheard of for me... also, the craving are a nightmare, though I haven't touched one since the 16th december.

I'm so sorry my first post is a moany one... just had a particularly stressful today and if I were gonna relapse it would be on a day like this... thus me googling a forum

MickROTFLMAO... I'm not eating quite as much at that... well done on getting to day 7 BTW

[nsd_user663_3856]

does the

thai green curry and jasmine rice,

two packets of spicy space raders,

LARGE strawberry yoghurt,

and ten bourbon biscuits and malted milk drink....

I just had for dinner in any way seem like a respectable challenge to Blokes Mahoosive breakfast???

I do actually feel a little bit sick now!!!

[nsd_user663_3738]

i think so vicki.

[nsd_user663_3856]

Ok... space raders are a corn snack...basically a packet of crisps!! low calories though

Oh BTW, since giving the menu of my dinner I have had a cheese ham and pickle sarnie...

this is pretty bad piggery on my part... the only defence I have for it is that I missed lunch and had breakfast at 7.15 am so I was STARVING.

Had a disaster last night...I made a macaroni cheese enough for four to devour and my wife came home from work just as it was ready and assumed half of it was for her...I didnt have the balls to say no.

You should have wolfed it all down before she got home!

BibleBlack, I've been meaning to try your method of cook-everything-and-freeze-it-in-a-day, but never really have any idea what to make. I've done spag bol and beef chilli for the freezer before, but that's about where my inspiration runs out! Need to get some food sorted in preparation for the quit, really...

[nsd_user663_3738]

jim i rename you..gorden ramsey...:D like your taste in food.. keep the faith tony

[nsd_user663_3856]

I'm eating AGAIN... I'm gonna get SO fat.

hahaha bloke... like the others said your should have eaten it before your wife got home

[nsd_user663_3861]

Sent the missus out for the day today.....made the biggest lemon drizzle cake you have ever seen....all gone by the time she got home

burp.

[nsd_user663_3856]

OMFG... I'm having a very large post meal craving...I would eat my way through it, but I'm starting to wonder if its the eating thats prolonging the cravings... infact I think I'm craving food now, rather than fags!!

[NicFirth 10 Years Smoke Free]

It took ages for me to get over the desire to smoke after a big Sunday roast, but thankfully it never crosses my mind now!

[nsd_user663_3856]

WAHOOOOOOOO... I reach 4 weeks tomorrow... then a month on sunday. I didn't even think about cigarettes until lunchtime today... and that was just remembering that I dont do it anymore... I do feel liberated.

still eating like a piggywig... but I've turned to healthy stuff... Houmous, cucumber and cherry tomatoes are my evening snacking choice now.

today I have had..........

glass of water and a polo for breakfast

tuna salad sandwich, shapers twisters and a low cal drink for lunch

2 Wagon wheels, 3 bounbons and a low fat holics at 4ish

Hungarian goulash and mash for tea

and houmous, 4 ritz crackers, cucumber and 4 cherry toms, and a BIG glass of water... evening cravings buster snack

thats still double what I usually eat... tomorrow I'm cutting out the biscuits... they are all gone and I'm not buying any more... I will turn into a fat bugger if I carry on eating them when I have food cravings... I'm not craving fags at all today... I think the reason I'm eating is the hand to mouth thing... its the ritual.

[nsd_user663_3816]

Wooot!!!!! Well done Vicky, you have done so well hun

Would you say it got easier for you after week 2?

Im eating quite a bit to atm, and still have that lost feeling especially in the evening when i'm relaxing.

Keep it up hun, you must be so proud of yourself.
