Hey fellow March Mellows,
Well it has been alittle over a week now , doing pretty good the patches are sure helping. Do any of you have any suggestions on this.... I feel not myself, not angry at all but I just don;t laugh or joke around much anymore? feel like I am a bore to all, even my husband, at imes I feel like he may want someone else who is more fun like I used to be, I talked to him last night and he said he will go through what ever it takes with me, is so proud of me, and I will get all my feelings back in time, he quit 37 years ago, said he much reather go through this with me then for me to be a smoker! I just want the old me back but as a non smoker!!!!!! and I will never become a smoker again, NEVER! I have no problem with the junkie thinkin that if I smoked again I would be the old me, DON'T want that at all just hard to get me back as a non smoker! there are a few times when I think my husbands life has not changed at all still on his merry way, has a glass of wine here and there, which I can't as that would be a big trigger! and a weight gain, a no no,I keep telling my brain that you are not going to rule me, I will be happy and I am so proud that I am not smoking! well any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks to you all, this is such a great group!!!!!!! Many prayers and hugs sent to you all!!!!!

is there anyone there who has lost weight or never gained when quitting smoking? the last time I quit I gained 33 lbs. in 6 mo., weighrf 133 lbs. on a person only 5' 3" I sure didn't look good now for the past years of smoking I have kept my weight at 110 and have loved it, have been quit for 11 days and so far have lost 1 lb. but scares me in time I will start gaining like I did before, I eat very healthy, and do excerise, have to go to my sisters for two weeks to help as she had by-pass surgery, when I get back will be almost the first of May and my husband and I are joining a gym at the hosp. Oh I hope there are some who have never gained weight, I was a very, very large child and teen, so now have an obecession with my weight.
HELP!
Thanks,
Bobbi
