Every day is a little easier :)

[nsd_user663_56237]

Good morning guys,

How are we all?

Just thought I'd check in, as I'm finding less and less need to be here at the moment. I still WANT to be here (of course! :)), but I don't feel an urgency to be logged on at all times, like I used to.

I hope you all had a good weekend. I seemed to manage fine and even said no to my e-cigarette last thing on Friday night when I was tispy, so I think it's going okay! The constant rain yesterday morning made me feel happy that I didn't need to force myself out there for a cancer stick.

And, while watching The Hobbit last night, my boyfriend kindly commented on how nice my breath smells now, which is always a bonus! I don't think I really paid much attention to it as a smoker. Also, Because he is a part time smoker anyway, I don't think he really felt he should comment on it before. :rolleyes:

I still feel a bit like I'm going to fail eventually, which is weird. I suppose the thought that I'm punishing myself is still there in the back of my mind, but it's certainly easier to push negative thoughts away now. It's just a question of staying positive and talking myself down really.

Anyway, I hope you've all had a great weekend and are holding onto your quits with determination!! xxx

punishing yourself? For what ? Freeing yourself of nicotine and all it brings with it? oh, i know, having that extra cash to treat your self with!! You have had some really trying and testing times but you have got through them! Stay positive

Anyway, I did have a good weekend thank you, daughter and son in law come over for roast lamb- just thinking about it now -can't remember the last time a roast dinner tasted that good

Glad that you too had a lovely weekend and hope the rest of your week goes brilliantly xxx

Good girl Sarah

Was worried you might have crumbled lately but no

Like Trea says-Punish yourself?PUNISH YOURSELF?? How in God's name do you make that out? :eek:

You would be punishing yourself by making your throat and lungs endure boiling poisonous fumes 20 times a day,you are being so so so so kind by NOT doing that.Get yer head in the right place here Miss!!!! x

I know Maximus It will come, I'm sure. xxx

[nsd_user663_56712]

Sarah, you, as a non-smoker, will be most welcome however it will be roast pork next weekend if that is ok

[nsd_user663_54332]

I'm really glad you're doing so well now Sarah - you *won't* fail, we won't let you!!

Lol, if you count adding years to your life, not smelling, looking younger and being richer as punishing yourself I'm all for it!!

Thanks hun

You make a valid point. Lol

I'm starting the gym this week, which should help to motivate me. I'm hoping that I might feel a difference in my chest, as this will definately spur me on.

I've read on here that quite a few people changed diets and added exercise into their routine when they began to feel the health benefits of not smoking, so it's time to push myself a little I think (also, these sweeties are starting to have an effect on my hips!).

Punishment with pleasure,I am all for that

Don't get him started xxx

Ooh GO SARAH

You really will notice a difference, not that long after I quit my breathing got so much better when i exercised and I stopped making excuses for being slower or panting 'cos I wasnt!! Think you'll be pleasantly surprised.

Really should do something about the effects of all that lasagne before long - am not buying any bigger clothes so there xxx

[nsd_user663_54332]

You crack me up Gemma

How can a Police car remind you of me?:cool:

Was the driver unusually rugged,good looking and suave?

That was me then.but..

I am not a Police car after all.

Do I see an Office dogsbody and therefore think of you? (hmm well I do actually...:p)

Lol, only 'cos you're a copper!!

Didn't see the driver 'cos it was just in the car park

And LOL
