Kept myself busy today baking ! Cottage Pie and a Victoria Sandwich ! Looks like the weight is going to stick around for a while.

1st day since relapse that's lungs feel better.

Today I am truly thankful for the strength and courage to try again and pray I have not left it too late. Feel a little guilty complaining about my weight when there are people that are very ill due to smoking.

I think you expect too much from yourself Woo. Quitting is tough, it's even tougher when you are worrying about all the things that go with it too. Unfortunately weight gain is an issue for 99% of us and I believe it's worse for us ladies over a certain age. Try to stop being so hard on yourself, failing that, try Gok's approach, scaffolding for underwear, I'm going to invest in some spanx personally ;)

Please don't worry so much about your weight Woo. Your metabolism slows for a few months and then it'll go back to normal. You'll be fine sweetie, trust me :)

And, my dad has raised a glass to you, I told him you wanted me to have a drink for you so he has had one too :D

Chin up, sort one thing at a time and quitting is by far the most important thing you could be doing right now.
