I just re-read this and sorry it's so long but man did I need to spill it. Thanks for the 'woohoos' I think I'll always remember this trip as a great success.
Susie & Audrey I wish you all the best on your upcoming vaycays. I hope this does help remind you the triggers are out there and waiting to jump up and do a tap dance on your head! Do whatever it takes but conquer those triggers!
One thing that did help - I usually felt guilty eating what I wanted on vacation since I knew I'd put on a pound or two when it was over, but after the mini meltdown, I said the heck with it and treated myself with some special Parisian snacks. It really brought some 'holiday-ness' back to the time away, totally and utterly guilt free :)
Let me know how it goes!

because I'm a smoker and still can't quit! Does anyone have any suggestions?
[/quote]
Start by losing the 'I'm a smoker' tag. You're not a smoker. You're a woman who smokes cigarettes. You are a mother to be who is causing harm to your unborn child. Don't let Nic tell you who or what you are. If you want to quit, like the Nike ads say 'Just do it'!
It's hard, it sucks, you'll feel crap for a while but so have we all. Everyone here will support you I GUARANTEE IT - and just think how great you'll feel to know you've done all you can to protect your child! I wish you all the success and peace possible.

Amen, brother. If that doesn't sum it up, nothing does.

You've got a great attitude towards your quit going, s-n-m, keep that in mind and be sure and come back to read this thread when you feel any strain coming on. It will remind you how much you want to do this!
Best wishes for your new life as a non-smoker!

Chops, this site was my saviour during the first month. Whether I felt like posting or not, just reading about others' experiences and the great advice members give to one another got me over many a rough patch. If you can be on the PC without too much 'association angst' I highly recommend you visit often!
