A month off cigs and I feel great! Haven't had too many episodes where I have felt the want to smoke and when they have arrived I have battled them off with my e-cig. I am so very proud of myself. Socially I have been able to go out with friends and not feel the need.
Mum is down for a few days and still smoking which annoys me after her episode of dying and needing CPR with my own hands! She reeks when she comes in and leans over me, it is actually really nauseating and yet when I am with friends it is never that noticeable. Did I smell that bad? But is does reinforce my decisions to quit rather than make me want one.
One thing I don't want to be is an annoying ex smoker, that is frustrating ! I am blowing my own trumpet at my achievements but I understand the pleasure of smoking and would never lecture others.
I also took the bull by the horns and decided to tackle my weight gain, most of it is due to being comfortable in my own skin and my life . But if I am already tackling one health issue , I may as well tackle the other. I don't do things in half measures do I?
49.5lb to lose...if I lost 2lb a week I could shift it in just over 6 months but I know from previous weigh loss it doesn't actually work as simple as that. So one week at a time!
Been sticking to a very sensible nutritionally balanced diet, not sure I have lost anything, tomorrow will tell however I feel better, more energy etc! Wish me luck tomorrow!

Yes, you did smell that bad......one of the first things I noticed when I gave up 100 years ago ;-p
ReplyDeleteThe other thing I found smelly was unwashed ashtrays and car ashtrays.
Well done Fi, I hope you're sharing your financial gain with yourself and it isn't all going on your grandson! x
Kathy, it was one of things I noticed in a meeting one day, small boardroom and a distinct whiff. I think that's when I decided to quit! I agree with the ash trays....bleurghhh!
ReplyDeleteHave slowed down spending on Tommy, treated Jim and I to dinner out on Friday and have plans for some nice clothes if the weather ever picks up!
