Well, I don't weigh myself and I don't count calories ever, due to a small problem I had with Anorexia when I was younger, but I have been working on the exercise... Here's what my doctor advised... ANY activity which raises your heart rate is good exercise so long as it is for 30 minutes minimum a day... Now that can be brisk walking or running your ass off on an exercise machine... You choose... FOr me I prefer the brisk walking. My way of making sure I have no pennies tempting me to spend them on ciggies is to walk everywhere I want to go... Even if that is the 3 mile hike to and from the city centre to go to the bank (I don't drive and would need cash to pay for the bus) ;p
Do any exercise that you feel comfortable with and don't listen to these people who tell you that you MUST do a lot of cardio to lose weight....
Good luck..
Krissie

I have my reward system all nicely set up.... I get a daily reward of a long soak in the bath with essential oils every evening...
I seem to be doing a bit better now, the mood swing has disappeared, although I would love some time alone (with the exception of having my bath) but if I ask for that I get heaped with loads of questions as to why I want space etc...
Thankfully the other half goes back to work on Monday and my daughter will be at her fathers for the next week, so I will have all the space I need...
Don't worry, I'm keeping up keeping it up....

thanks for the feedback guys... I really hate this feeling... It's nice to know that others have been there... I wasn't talking about failing on my quit.. I am a horrendous perfectionist when I set my mind on something.

Hey guys,
Well I am on day 2 and to be honest with you I am beginning to wonder if its all worth it.. I am getting no support from my partner or my daughter... I flipped at tea time tonight and told her she will have to cook her own dinners from now on, she's 6. For the past 2 weeks she hasn't eaten a full meal that I have cooked for her, and to be honest I feel that I am wasting my time doing anything for her...
All my partner has done for the past couple of days is sit on his ass reading a book... I am the one who has cooked, cleaned and done just about everything else.... I am so sick fed up. Sometimes I wonder of he lives with me for the sake of having someone to pick kup after him... Which I do, every day.
I know I should be grateful that he is allowing me to give up work and go back to uni, but you know what?? I really want to tell him to move out... I will get a new job and deal with it all myself.... These are not new feelings, they are just amplified by the lack of nicotine in my system I know, but if things weren't right before, this isn't gonna sort them is it????
I really feel like packing a bag and taking off for a day or two, coming home when I feel like it..... What do you think??

Well, so far so good.. Had a really restless nights sleep last night, I think I woke up every couple of hours.. I wouldn't have minded but it was the first cool evening we have had in iver 3 weeks, and I was sure I was going to have a full night's sleep without waking up... Not a hope in H*ll of that happening though!!!
The pressure on my chest seems to have lifted, and the cravings are not so bad today, I think I am coping quite well....
Mr Ed, I am most certainly in the UK, when do you meet for chats??

Hey Ericon,
Just wanted to say well done on reaching 14 days into your quit.... I know it has been tough (been reading up today on the posts I have missed this week) But I think you are doing great...
See you in the Cliff top Cafe...

Still here, just...
This will probably be one of my last visits to the SSC forum as I am not finding it helpful any more... I am feeling too guilty because I am reading the posts of everyone here about how bad a time they are having, and me having no withdrawal symptoms or any cravings.... Hence I can't post and give support cause I seem to have reached my plateau and am no longer experiencing what everyone else is...
Will still be logging my quit stats in my Glove compartment though, I find that to be most helpful...

I have been quit for 2W 5D 11h 8m (19 days). I have saved �86.21 by not puffing on 389 ciggies. I have added 1D 8h 25m to my life.
