Well done and don't worry about the weight just yet. In the first 3 months of my quit I was going to the gym everyday but I still managed to put on a stone! :eek:
But now that I don't feel as 'anxious' about not smoking and I also feel like I don't need to congratulate myself for 'getting through the day' without one so I've stopped eating so much and it hasn't been difficult to do. I think if I would have tried dieting in the first couple of months of being quit things would have been quite shaky!
I'm too on day 17 but struggling badly. Had serious cravings last night, still not sleeping, felt like i'd been hit in the face with a shovel this morning, bad cravings again this morning along with irritability
Maybe I am being too hard on myself but I got married in November there and lost like 2 stone and now I feel like I have let myself down for putting half on again.
I suppose i could be an potimist and say I am still a stone lighter than I was before I got married.
Thanks for the advice. I got the Singstar Dance for the PS Move and it is difficult on the muscles so maybe I will enjoy working out seeing as it is fun.
Pete- Keep going! You are doing so so so well. Noone told us it would be easy but did you ever think you would be telling people you are on day 17! I know I didn't! One day at a time, you have made it this far, don't give up. We are all in ths together.

Well done Jill - great stuff
Is potimist the new word for optimist sorry my spelling, typos and grammar is bad and seeing that made me laugh out loud as that's something I'd usually do
Don't worry to much about the weight it will start to right itself, I used to get wrapped up in the whole weight thing, now I just concentrate on caring for my quit
well that shows how dumb I am! Every day's a school day, well in my case anyway I have actually died my hair back blonde. I'm naturally a brunette but blonde suits my personality so much better
well done to you Im also on day 17 havnt weighed myself but know i have been snacking more specially in evening I do a lot of walking and am going to start swiming again.Good luck to you and everyone else
