mangojunky · 02-26-2007, 04:02 AM

Well, I am on day 7 - yesterday was tough - when I picked my quit date, I didn't take into consideration pms! I have also not been getting a lot of sleep. I was cranky, and quit ticked at my bf. I did not smoke, and ended up talking about why I was upset instead of smoking. Now that is a step in the right direction!
I didn't eat well, or exercise this weekend, and I am sure that did not help my mood!
Today is a new day - eating well, and to the gym for me!
CONGRATS TO ALL YOU QUITTERS!

Mango, honey, it's okay to have a bad weekend! The important thing is, YOU DIDN'T SMOKE! That is so awesome! 7 days smoke-free!! You go girl!! Even when faced with a stressful situation, you had the willpower. So what you didn't eat well or exercise, at least you realize that now, and are gonna do something about it. Today is a brand new day! I got up super early (cuz I couldn't sleep)

and rode my exercise bike, got ready for work, and made it 15 mins early today (instead of my usual 10 mins late). I'm in a very good mood too!! I brought carrot sticks, yogurt a banana and I'm having a salad for lunch. Oh yeah, and I splurged on a cappucino this morning

as a treat for me!!

Congratualtions Deb!!! Seven whole days of no smoking - and counting!!! Way to go!!!

I suppose there are an awful lot of things you don't think about before you quit smoking that prove challenging later on. I keep running into unique situations that prove to be challenging. Don't worry though, it gets a little easier each day.
