Yeah, good luck. My Mother-in-law just quit after thirty something years of smoking. She has been cig free for almost two months. She actually went to this hypnosis thing with my sister-in-law. It worked for MIL, but not for SIL so I think Mal is right....if you are ready to quit, you will succeed. Have a great day.

Oh I am sorry I was under the impression that there was already a date set - I guess way back when you were thinking way ahead and stressin abt it all to come when it comes ie the surgery and so on - lol...

I could never imagine trying to quit something as highly addictive as smoking - my dad smoked all my life and always tried to quite - even when they told him thaqt they wouldnt give him a kidney he still smoked - however once he got the new kidney he finally stopped - I smoke occassionally on and off and when I drink - wellI did I had one smoke sometimes after I had my youngest and it made me literally sick - LOL...

Thats exactly it, im far from ready to, but im gonna do it anyway because its a stupid habit thats only making things 10 worse :)

I need to do some exercise today, badley, i need to do something long and hard - maybe a couple hours on the bike or something.
I dunno why, i just feel the need.
For once its a brilliantly sunny day, so i may just get my wish. I have stuff to do this morning, but this arvo is MINE!

I have the patch on anyway, i dunno if it works - i feel like having a smoke now. Though to be honest i should give it at least a bit of time to start working. Im guessing it releases nicotine slowly not fast lol :D
I can feel a bit of burning on my arm though, so i hope that i dont end up having a rash or allergy :O

So gonna go visit the in-laws today. Have lunch with them, catch up etc.
Should be fun fun :D
 
have fun and good luck :)

when i quit - the oral fixation helped a lot - i used to have straws that I would keep handy.. better than lolllies or snackies :)
 
Best of luck to you wishes... good luck quiting smoking... and the world domination thing....

btw, if you do achieve the world domination thing... ya think you can spread some wealth to your fellow forumers? perdy please? :D
 
I was gonna add that my father-in-law used plastic toothpicks to relieve his oral fixation as Mal called it. But it has been years and you still never see him without a plastic toothpick.

My mother-in-law had an allergic reaction to the patch. I hope that is not happening to you. Did the nicotine ever kick in for ya?

Absolutely! You guys can be my cheif advisers, and Mal and have a huge big gun to shoot people that try and suck up (I hate suck ups!)

As for the patches, the weird feeling i was getting earlier has totally gone, i forget that i even have it on. Its fantastic, i dont crave any smoke physically, just the act of putting it in my mouth type of thing, which is a LOT easier to get past without nicotine cravings as well.
Apon getting on the scales im still up, god i hope its water weight. Im going cycling now to burn some extra.
If its not water weight i bet its that curry! darned it! Ive been sticking to primarily vegetables though since then anyway to make up for it. I was down calorie wise but it was extremely fatty :/

Anyway, toodle pip for now.
 
Hey wishes - best of luck with quitting.
Mal was right, if you're ready, you'll do it!

It was the hardest thing I ever did.
 
Howdy Wishes,
I know of alot of people personally that have had really
bad nightmares on the patch,has that happened to you?
The scale will be back down tomorrow your doing great Tammy:)
 
M2M: Thanks! it means a lot :)

Yeah ive heard that - thats why i plan to take the patch off when i go to bed :)

I never smoked when i was sleeping, why would i need nicotine then either !

I made a yum vege soup with bacon hock today, but it wasnt ready by dinnertime, so looks like we are having takeaways. Ill probably opt for a salad or something from McDs or something low/no fat. Im having a 0 fat grams few days.
 
Ha Ha too funny!I dont smoke while I sleep either! But I wasnt smart enough to leave it off at night...I got a rash and gave up...but that was a long time ago
 
Good morning wishes :)

good luck w/ quitting..its the best thing you will ever do for yourself!!

Hope you have a great weekend, and thanks for supporting me in my diary :)
 
Hi Wishes. Thanks for telling me about that link. I tried to fix it, but now the stupid signature thing says my message is too long. Oh well.

It's so great you quit smoking. You know, I had a dream last night that I was smoking again -- and it's been 32 years since I quit! Weird.
 
Congratulations on your decision to quit smoking wishes.

Aside from all the long term gains I bet it will help the surgery to go smoothly.

Good luck. :)

It better do lol :)

Well, life sucks atm.

The quitting smoking is doing great - the patches are good. I still feel like a smoke and crave it now and again, but i can live without it easily enough.

My weight bounced up a couple kg on thursday and hasnt gone down much since. Im somewhat depressed about it.

At weigh-in ill be just happy if i can get down to what i was at last weeks weigh in :O
I dont think i lost much last week though anyway, if any at all :(

Still, im going away for a school camp with my kids on weds, that should take my mind off things :) 3 days of exercise running around after 100 kids, kayaking, assailing etc

Ive been doing some form of exercise every day for the last week just about as well, for at least 30 minutes each time (if not an hour).
I do wonder if the lack of weight loss is to much iron, not enough fibre in the diet, if you get what im meaning. The sewers may be backed up :O

Ahh well all i can hope for is a miracle or something lol :D
 
Wishes!!

Hola Mamasita! Looking at those pictures, you have lost some serious weight, girlfriend. And now you're quitting smoking. I certainly hope you are hanging on to some vices?
