I am trying everything

[awolangie]

Well, I am going to keep this short but I am long winded. My name is Angie and my boyfriend is over in Iraq. He came home this last month and I had to push back one of my goals. I started on Chantix and since I knew that we were going to go to some bars... you can't quit smoking when you put some booze in your system. Anyways, I went to North Carolina where he is originally from. Since he knows that he can talk me into anything, we went to the beach. I was absolutely horrified. I wanted to swim in the ocean, so I mustered up everything I had in me and got the swimsuit out. I made a promise to myself that I will do whatever it takes to reach my goals. Right now I have stopped smoking and with that come the food cravings. Now what I want to do is lose 20lbs. I want to do everything at once, now. Because when he gets home I want to be able to focus on our life. Thanks for listening.

welcome

Hi Angie, I commend you for taking on your challenges, and I wish you the best of luck. There's not much advice I can give on the quitting of cigarettes, but drinking lots of water, cutting out the soft drinks really have helped me, especially recently, as I have more energy to get out there and do what I need to do. I also walk a lot. Message me anytime.

I can relate. I've never tried the Chantix, but I have everything else under the sun to quit smoking. I've been off the butts for 3 weeks now, and I've been going to the gym or riding a bike as replacement therapy for the cigarettes. I't working for me so far. It ain't easy... but it's working....

Keep it up, and don't lose hope!
