Day 25

[Louiseb17]

Doing really well since the angry Monday haha I'm not missing my cigarettes (or standing outside!) I have more money in my pocket and while I have piled on the weight.. I can lose that 👍🏻 How is everyone else doing?

Hi Louiseb17 - good to know you are feeling better - one of my biggest reasons for stopping was the money (I really am not a miser honest, lol).

Good thanks - I think I have gained a few pounds but I'll worry about that when I'm in a more 'settled' place I think - if I take on too much I worry that it will all become too much and I don't want to fail.

In 3 days I will have quit for two weeks so I'm thinking what I can treat myself to this week!!

Keep strong - we can all do it together...

Hello, well done on your quit!I'm on day 54 I think now, I don't know if it helps but I put on a few pounds in the first couple of weeks but it has come off now, I haven't tried to lose it so maybe it will be temporary for you too. Metabolism adjusting perhaps. Keep going!!

Good to hear from you Nohassel - see you got the 'how amazing foods tastes now' bug too, it is unreal how much everything tastes and smells since we quit! Glad things are going well for you

absolutely roisin people allways say your sense of smell/ taste buds improve after you quit but you cant actually appreciate it properly untill you take the plunge urself got my teeth cleaned yesterday aswell so mouth is feeling super clean and fresh hehe, and the fatigue i was feeling last week has also improved a wee bit now so feeling a bit happier in general

hi Louise well done on your first week!!!👏👏👏 its a major achievement! I can remember how proud I felt after my first week, and I don't think non smokers will ever realise just how bloody hard it is to quit, so well done again and stay strong in your quit!😊😊😊
