This is so depressing :( I have just started my 6th week smoke free & until a few days ago, I was on a wonderful high. When I had to buy new clothes because I couldn't squeeze into the old jeans, I got on the scale....OH THE HORROR! How can a body gain 10 pounds in a month??? No wonder I feel like crap!
I feel really good about not smoking 920 cigarettes but I am also miserable with the way I look. I have never had a problem with weight, in fact, I had trouble gaining. I don't like where this is heading.
Tomorrow, I am going to start walking DAILY....a good brisk walk is probably the best exercise.
Now all that's left to do is staple my lips shut :blush:

Congratulations matedsouls, I am so happy for your kids. Your son must be so proud of you. It's funny that little kids can be smarter than grown-ups when it comes to smoking.
Use the tools on this site, they really helped me in understanding why I smoked. Be honest in your answers & later on when you go back & read them again, you'll be asking yourself 'what the heck was I thinking?'. YOU CAN DO IT!
WOOHOO, we have another quitter :)

Last week, quite by accident I caught the last half hour of a documentary called "The Tobacco Conspiracy". I really wish I had seen the whole show. If anyone sees it listed in the tv guide, watch it! At the end of the documentary, they show a young person in a casket that is filled with cigarette packages. Words come on the screen that say, since this show began 376 people have died from tobacco use. Then a few seconds later, the number changed to 377. That was a powerful scene!

Happy Thursday Ash Kickers :) Hey this place looks slightly different. Before, the older posts never showed up for me. I always got an error message where they should have been but now I can see them, which makes it so much easier to reply to people.....I'm hoping that I can use the IM on this site too. I never could before.
Lou P, Big HUG for you. This is so stressful for you & if you need your fellow April Ash kickers, we are here for you. Smoking is all about control & you handled that stressful situation perfectly.
I had a terrible dream that I gave up my quit & started smoking again. Why would I dream that? I am thrilled with my quit & I remember saying to myself in the dream that I wished this was just a smoking dream & that I am really still a quitter. I was very relieved when I woke up.....these dreams are soooo vivid & upsetting to me.
Have a great day :)

Woohoo, the IM works for me now. There was nobody on, which might be a good thing because I really should be getting ready for work :p
Do I need to add buddies first, or is everyones name listed when the IM window opens?
