DO YA WANNA QUIT OR NOT?

Re: DO YA WANNA QUIT OR NOT?

Yeah, one of the things that I think made me snap is I was putting on weight because I was eating like that baby mouse on Tom & Jerry. I was "Nibbles" to a T. Mainly acceptable foods but one day I didn't just fall off the Atkins wagon...I slit it's tires and ran the other way. I put on almost 10lbs!!!! It's almost all off though so I imagine it was water because of the crap I was eating and because I was barely drinking any water. duh. I still want to quit though and I'm formulating my evil plan of attack...mwuh ha ha ha...with the Easyway book and some other resources I'm feeling more confident about this next time around. Even though I'm smoking lights and not very many I feel like I'm literally choking all the time...gee! that's because I am!!! I don't give up easily...if at all...I'm not made that way! How is everyone else doing today?

Re: DO YA WANNA QUIT OR NOT?

Yeah, so I'm out too now it appears. I was doing so well, but that one cig must have been my downfall! I am planning on drastically reducing my smoking, not smoking in my house or car, and when Katie is ready hopefully we can do it together...like Atkins. Although I have already set my new quit date to Sept. 5th.

Re: DO YA WANNA QUIT OR NOT?

My husband had to unexpectedly borrow my car. That means I'm stuck with 6 cigarettes until late tonight unless the kids and I walk to the store or something. Now see...if I hadn't caved I wouldn't be stuck with this kind of panic. It wouldn't bother me at all because there's plenty of food and no need immediate need to go to the store. And I'm not going to make my kids walk to the store either so I'm s.o.l here. Why oh why didn't I stay strong? This just re-affirms my need to quit. To get this monkey off my back for good.

Re: DO YA WANNA QUIT OR NOT?

Lol! You'd think it would be easy to do to the filthy things. Well, the kids insisted on walking to the video store. I'm not kidding either, they hassled me for about an hour before I gave in. Wellllllll...you see what's coming next right? "Let's stop by the grocery store on the way home for fountain drinks!" Got my smokes without a twinge of guilt because the kids were enjoying the walk so much. Now they're playing a video game we rented and I got my exercise for the exercise challenge done. It was only a 2+ mile walk round trip so we were all discussing that when we only need a couple things from the store we should just walk instead of take the car. My kids may be smarter than me after all.

Re: DO YA WANNA QUIT OR NOT?

I thought I would post my stats in case I can be an inspiration to anyone around here.

Three weeks, two days, 20 hours, 59 minutes and 9 seconds. 477 cigarettes not smoked, saving $95.50. Life saved: 1 day, 15 hours, 45 minutes.
