Day 4...

[nsd_user663_4277]

Hi guys!

Well...day 4's going okay so far. My resolve is as strong as ever.

I've had a few wobbles, and felt disappointment when I realise I don't have cigs to look forward to anymore but I'm enjoying the fact I can breathe a bit better already and I don't smell.

Insatiable hunger's still an issue but I'm not going to be toooo concerned until next week about it.

Hope you are all feeling good today! It's FRIDAY! woohoo!

Yay! We made it into the next box!

I weighed myself this morning - not happy! Gonna give it a few more days and then the diet has to come back with a vengence!

Glad your still feeling strong. Its weird. I got a bit upset about something yesterday and I had a really bad craving like the first day, headache, neckache everything... out the blue, lasted 10 mins and then went? Must be my mind mustn't it? Are you still getting bad cravings?

Heya!

Woohoo! Go us! I know what you mean, also weighed myself and not happy. I am the same though, maybe give it till the end of this weekend and back to diet!

I also had a really bad craving yesterday...I think the psychological ones are harder actually...they make me upset and want to cry But I went for a walk, downed a load of water and put my music on to try and let it pass. I think the key is just letting them pass and keeping strong...I know how crap I'd feel if I smoked now. I can't wait for it to be 1 week, 1 month, 1 year...etc.... boyfriend has quit 3 months yesterday so I'm proud of him and believing it's possible! He smoked a lot and drank a lot too so it's nice we are trying to have a bit of an overhaul.

At work and the evening's at home I keep forgetting I've quit and thinking 'I'll go for one soon' for a split second...then I realise and I feel all bored. Annoying. Hope this passes... but as they say take each hour/day as it comes.

Hey Coralie,

Well done! You're so close to that first week now you can practically TASTE it! (especially now that your taste buds will be re-generating :P)

Lovely to see people move up in the forum with such strong resolve.

I stopped weighing myself for about a month just after I quit, I was doing lots of exercise and I just pretended I didn't gain weight (actually I did, A LOT!) but it helped to ignore it!

Hey Sofia,

Next week I think I'll start running to have something to focus on and take my frustration out on lol!

Yes I can't wait...I really feel like I won't smoke again...which I haven't really felt before on other attempts.

Hey guys well done on day 4, today i am finding it hard because i have been in the presence of smokers all day at work and all though they know i have given up i feel a little knocked down with some of them telling me that i wont last and i will soon be back on the fags. I was planning on having a bit of a drink tonight while watching a dvd but im unsure if i should or not because i feel like my guard is down if you know what i mean? I will carry on i just hope that i feel better tomorrow.

[nsd_user663_22524]

Just ignore them, or better still use them to give you extra incentive to prove them wrong!

Try and spend some time tonight with someone who does support you then maybe you can enjoy your beer after all!

[nsd_user663_4277]

A lot of smokers are jealous when someone gives up. I know when the shoes on the other foot I've felt that way - so ignore their comments. I've been doing the same at work.

Went for a couple of drinks last night with boyf and was okay, but I don't think I'll enjoy going out as much without smoking now :S

Anyway. Day 5! Yay.
