Hi Lottie, are u on nicotine patches? When I gave up, the patches I got were far too strong for me. I was totally wired, couldn't sleep...ironing, washing, dusting etc all thru the night! After 3 days I realised it was the patches and took them off with a view to getting lower dose ones...but I didn't get round to it and just carried on without them. I read yesterday that when you give up smoking, it only takes 2 days for all traces of nicotine to leave your body, which means your blood pressure drops to a normal level really quickly. So you've already improved your health! Stick with it...you won't ever regret it. Xx

Aww bless him...he's got the right idea! Good lad! I bet he's thrilled to bits that his mum has given up...its probably the very best present you could give him! And he's far less likely to smoke himself if he's brought up in a non smoking home xx

Well done you xxx

New Week - more focus

Evening All

Did a 160 mile round trip to the dentist this morning with a cracked filing (or so I thought it was a false alarm!)

Then into the local town to try and complete my wedding outfit for saturday buying getting shoes, bag and a shawl. NIGHTMARE - could not get anything to match in each shop they had either the bag, the shawl or the shoes but not one shop had all three to match so I am sat with a new pair of casual wedges that I didnt need, a black shawl and a cream bag so by saturday I either need a black bag and shoes (that will not kill my feet) or a cream shawl and shoes. To top it all I am working tues, weds, thurs and fri and have a four year old who is not so keen on shopping unless it is for crafting materials to add to her extensive collection so I think I may need a miracle!!!

The good news is ..... my actual outfit is now a very nice fit and still zero fags

Monday - EE (must get organised to trying green or red)

B - Ham and Melon, Yogurt, Seeds (2)

S - Banana

L - Chicken, Broc & Cheese Pasta and Sauce (0.5) Salad, Dressing (2)

S - Fruit

D - Gammon and Chicken, Salad, Sweet Potato Wedges

S - Fruit

HEA - milk
HEB - fibre plus bar ( I am so in love with these :cupid

Syns - 4.5

Hope all is well with you all x x x x

Hey Lottie

Hope all is well on the fag front - will post the chilli recipe as soon as I have a minute - its syn free and really yummy (adapted from my mum's recipe so I cannot take the credit!!)
Last week I had a few tearful days and felt down but they have passed for the minute but I am going down a strength of patch tomo so I am sure they will be back again. BUT we can beat them into submission together x x x x

Not sure about the syns, I am trying to be really good as I have a wedding to go to Sat and want to be as trim as I can but have read in some peoples posts that you must have around 10 to lose? anyone got any tips please??

 

[Annya]

I find that if I don't have between 8 and 10 it slows me down (but then so does most things!).

I do save them up sometimes though for a bit of a blow out on the weekends we are away rallying as I know there's going to be some sipping out of my hip flask (Disoronno) going on and perhaps even the odd late night bacon sarnie too

Great advice annya, will try and up them a bit, in fact I think I can hear a lonely packet of hula hoops calling me from the cupboard already!!

I went cold turkey too Lottie. I had tried patches, lozenges, fake fags, pastilles - you name it, but I always ended up starting again.

In the end I decided cold turkey was the only way and so I just stopped dead. Christ it was awful for 10 days or so, but it did have it's advantages.... I was going through a rather acrimonious split with my then long-term boyfriend and I was so horrible he actually left! I'd been trying to get him out of my flat for 2 years to no avial so I suppose that was a plus :8855::8855::8855:

Good on ya Sarah - keep on quitting and dieting and inspiring me

Hiya Annya
