Worst day so far

Thanks for all the support and advice  It made today a much brighter day
 
I have decided to take tonight off.  Putting the books aside, eating a delicious dinner, having a glass of wine, and watching a movie.  I haven't really been rewarding myself through this process  I just keep putting it off but I think my body, my mind and my soul need a little TLC.
 
Have a great Tuesday Everyone.  To another smoke free day

Image is in Crisis

Yasir,
 
Thanks for the tips.  I have been trying to drink more water, fresh veggies, and fruit.  The past few days I also bought a little book to keep track of all that I am eating.  It allows me to look back at the end of the day and determine where the calories may be hiding. 
 
I have allergies to wheat, gluten, dairy, and potatoes (and more).  So, I haven't had french fries or pringles in years.  My problem food is nuts (mostly almonds - I can't just have 10) and dips with veggies (so many calories).  Last evening while relaxing I made a small veggie platter (carrots, peppers, cauliflower, mushrooms, and cucumbers) and ate them with no dip.  It tasted just as good and I felt better this morning when I woke up.
 
Congrats on losing 25pounds!  That is amazing.  What type of exercise are you doing?  I have been running but today I am starting a weight training routine. 
 
Cheers
Alice

Worst day so far

Ojmas:  thanks...I enjoyed the dinner and wine.  It was very relaxing
 
Freedomby30:  last night was much needed.  It felt good to just forget about all the stress in my life and to just be enjoy the night.  I watched "eat, prey, love" (total chick flick) and it was just what I needed
 
Collina:  congrats on 25 days!  Those days are really starting to stack up   I must admit that sometimes I feel like such a fake.  One moment I seem on top of the world giving others advice, congratulating them on their success, and acacknowledging all the benefits of not smoking....but there are times that I feel alone, unwilling to take others advice (not even my own), and dwelling on all the great moments of smoking.  It's a real frustrating process.  But, I am glad we are all here to share in it together.  Good luck tomorrow....You can do it!  It will feel so good to get through it smoke free.
 
Good Night All,
 
Alice

I Blew It

Nonic, your posts are always so thoughtful.  Although your words were meant for Peteg, they hit a note with me.  Thanks.
 
Peteg:  hope your weird couple of days isn't too weird  I look forward to your posts on your return.

2nd BONFIRE

Thanks for starting this fire Sparky. 
 
I think that I will bring some healthy snacks:  veggies and dip, bottles of water, and some yummy fruit for dessert (mangos, pineapple, strawberries, etc)
 
I will throw in my stress, restless sleeps, anxiety, and my childish temper tantrums
 
Burn, Burn, and Burn!

Having a really difficult time today, Day 4

Ojmas,
 
I am sorry to hear you are having a rough day.  But know that you are not alone.  It is hard but it is possible.  You can do this.  Keep writing on here whenever you need support, need to vent, to pass the time, etc, etc 
 
One day, one minute, one second at a time.

2nd BONFIRE

Now that the fire is really burning (and because I am having a rough week) I am going to throw some more in:  school work, impossible expectations, student loan debt, uncertain futures, dirty dishes & unfolded laundry, expensive plane tickets, and the large miles (or provinces) separating me from my family
 
I will bring some melted chocolate to dip all the fruit I brought (a little fondue).  Of course, it will be calorie free
 
The fire is a blazing and my problems and worries are a burning
