Day 14 and Going Strong

[nsd_user663_54562]

Hiya Guys,

Well its day 14 and im really going strong. Mid week is great for me, few cravings, easy to bat them away. I feel less reliant on this forum too. Im just starting to feel like a non smoker! Early days though eh! Im still kind of eating like a gannet though, last night I was in a big tub of twiglets and my boyfriend was like....calm down!! I was eating them incessantly, like there was no tomoro lol butttt I am exercising so trying not to beat myself up too much about the food. But I do hate that 'fat' feeling.

Hope everybody else is still going strong.

What I am wondering is, when will this stop controlling my every waking thought, i know its early days (will be day 14 tomorrow) but i am struggling, i feel i am doing well and can forget about it for a bit, but then BANG its there and i feel like i am back to day one!!!!

I think Twiglets should have a taste bud warning.....LOL......

Go girl....you are doing great....

Twiglets?

Whatever it takes Sarahgum! You are doing great!

Like all of you, I'm also eating like a pig. Mind you, i have now gone through all my christmas chocolate, my husband's christmas chocolate. My son's gold chocolate coins are looking pretty good. i wonder if he'll notice a few missing! LOL.

Anyway, I agree with Max - we just need to get through with the filthy habit. Once we conquer that, it will be a doddle to chillax on the eating.

Keep going!

Hi Sarah and all

You're all doing so well I say stuff the scales whilst you're in the early stages!

Enjoy your freedom and enjoy your taste buds!!

I have put about 6lb on now since losing 1.5st before quitting. I now feel in a little better position to tackle the weight, a few months down the line...and you will too.

But I tell you what....by God I had a good Christmas!

Everything was eaten and drunk ... unless it could run!

Twiglets have got to be the best savoury-not as fattening as pork scratchings-though not as tasty with a beer-good for you-wood based-marmite covered snacks!

Wife hates 'em so I buy several big tubs at Christmas, happy in the thought....they're mine.....Aaaaaaaalllllll mine!!!

Mwaha

Mwahahaha

Mwaahahahahahahaha!

Hi Hellers

It does get really annoying doesn't it?

Brain going ... smokesmokesmokesmoke ..... neeed a smokesmokesmokesmoke...want a smokesmokesmok.....big breath.......shouldn't we be smoking now....fingers in ears .... smokesmokesmokesmoke!

Believe me, that is exactly as it was for me up until just a few weeks ago.

We have done the same thing 20-30-40 times a day for decades!

Its only understandable that we feel this way.

For some people this goes quickly, for others slowly .... all you need to do is give it time until you find your tipping point....then slowly....very slowly...the volume gets lower and lower!

I can still hear it....and expect to hear it for some time to come....maybe months, I don't know .... but I know that I can now start to ignore it like the really annoying chav on the train with a "personal" stereo (dated term I know but there's nothing ruddy personal about them!) turned up to 11!!!

Hang in there, keep taking baby steps and you'll be there before you know it.

Take care

Greg
