...since my quit...I've just calculated the days, just out of curiosity & it's 238! Funny, but I haven't even bothered to work it out like that till now...

As I was walking down to the Docs today, I was stuck behind 2 people who were smoking. The stench was so strong, I actually gagged. Each time I've quit before, I have NEVER felt like that, I've usually enjoyed the smell! I've got no problem with smokers but, jeez...I kind of understand why some exsmokers become prize bores about smoking! It reeked :eek: I see from some of the posts that I'm not the only one. Yes, occasionally I get the odd crave but it's very rare now...the E cig is long gone...in fact, I don't even know where the ****** thing is, lol! The extra weight is unpleasant, especially with my health problems...I reckon I've put on 2 stone & can't go to the gym because of all the other stuff...however, I'm going to try to use the Air Walker as often as my body lets me to try to reduce it. But both myself & my husband look as though we are real ex smokers...Dave's even worse than I am when he smells smoke...it makes him feel physically sick...so hopefully there'll be no craves over xmas...& let's face it, I can always resort to my 5 a day....wine does count as a fruit juice, doesn't it? :D

Blimey, I hope wine does count, if not I'm knackered! Beer counts too doesn't, after all that has hops and barley :confused:

You are doing brilliantly well Sophie, I've put on too much weight too and my colleagues have recommended the GI plan, apparently it works because you never get hungry - I'm giving it a crack in January, too much of the good stuff to get through before then ;) Keep up the fantastic work, only a couple of months before you hit the penthouse now :D
