We Quit Cigarettes

[FortCluck]

Looks like a lovely flock of ducks and chickens !

The muscovy is funny. She flew on top of our house roof last night and was staring at me on the deck. I was hoping she would fly down and hang out, but she does her own thing.

See! That's what I need now! Something to mother and be responsible for. I'm getting tired of worrying about me! I'm having a rough time, but I know I can do it‼ still sweating, chills and mad for no reason. Oh, and now I'm itching! Feels like something crawling on me! It's terrible‼

@webbysmeme these are normal feelings for what you are going thru. I know you must be climbing the walls, especially with the itching. I would be scratching myself raw with one of those itcher things. Can you try benedryl for the itching? Prayers your way, especially the itching right now. I'll send you a cheering chick as well I hope today is a good day for you, kinda of sounds like yesterday was rough.

I am SO impressed with you, Webby. Seriously, words cannot describe my admiration--you are a courageous lady and you are winning where so many would tragically give in. Don't you get discouraged You are doing so magnificently!

I feel the same way, I know I've said it before, however, you are really showing people what they can accomplish if they are willing to do the hard work. You are a winner. You are successfully. You are my hero !!!

Nat don't read this post.




I'm not a complainer and I thought last week's constant headache was from my period.

I still have a headache.
It's not bad but it will not go away.
It's starting to get on my nerves.

Could be reaction to Chantix, could be reaction to detoxing, I would check with my Doc since it has been going on for so long !

I like you Webby! I think you are awesome.
You crack me up.

Isn't she great ?

Aha....a movie about a nutter.
I'd like to see this one.
I wonder if it's on Netflix.

Great, very sad movie (IMHO) A must watch

How long do you guys have frozen ground for? I lived in Maine and I think it was April before the snow was somewhat gone. VA is a completely different world to me.

We really never have frozen ground.

Uh... I... don't have an addiction....
I saw this thread and thought that I could try to be encouraging to the people who were struggling on here -- I myself am not addicted to anything, and the only medication that I take is insulin for my Type 1 diabetes.
Should I leave, or was that just the withdrawal irritation speaking?
Though, honestly, even if I'm told to leave, I'll still stalk this thread and post encouragement and hugs....
Edit: Disregard that, I'm stickin' around! Also still for hire as a rant sponge.

Thank you for your kindness

All done with midterms!!!! I feel like I did okay on today's.

In other news, I didn't quite make it through this evening without smoking (just a little tiny bit!) But have been behaving myself for the last few days previous to today.

This is really hard, and I am becoming unhappy with myself. I think I am gaining weight really fast... but don't have a scale so dunno for sure. I would shoot myself if I had a scale, I am almost sure.

Do I wanna be fat, or do I wanna smoke? Not being fat is reeeeeealllllllyyyyyyyyy important to me.

But the puppy is cute!

Been there did that for years. Trust me you don't want to smoke there are other things you can do to increase your metabolism so you don't gain weight.

I have a dog to walk now. He's still really little to put in any real miles with, though. I can put him in the stroller with my toddlers maybe?

But really. The snacking has been 90% curbed... I was prone to snacking before I stopped smoking too, honestly. I cut out the beer calories, but then started having an extra cup of coffee in mornings. Starvation efforts not working. Walks and yoga not cutting it. Pretty disgusted with myself.

Building muscle will increase your resting metabolism
