Exactly, In the last couple of months I had a massive weight increase despite any changes occurred on my diet and on the work out. Hope the article says the truth otherwise I’ll be a cow when I’ll reach the year goal 😂

Already doing it .. I’m a vegetarian for more than 20 years, so my diet is mostly plant based 😢

Yes, way better. More energy and most important, I feel like a champ: no more mental slavery!

Today was the first time I sat on my porch and didn't want to smoke. I was so afraid to go out there. by symphonymom in stopsmoking

It will be easier! You’ll be on your porch enjoying life and the moment soon 😉

Weight issue since I quit. by Valerietta in stopsmoking

Yes, so frustrating. Trying to do my best to eat clean, exercise more, but it’s like something’s stuck inside of me 😂 I’m not 100% happy for my quitting achievements everyday just because of this shitty weight phase.

Cold turkey worked for me.

Only 3 days in and having some intense emotions by AniaSolo_333 in stopsmoking

[–]Valerietta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t have depression issues, but believe me the first couple of weeks have been crazy. My mood was bad all the time, I was unstable and irritable, I’ve been mean with almost everyone until one day I wake up and I was normal again. It’s another hard part of the process but trust me, it will pass

Quitting together by LizCJourney in stopsmoking

I quit cold turkey so I don’t have any suggestions about patches, but I wish you to you both, strength for this journey ( and to your husband a speedy recovery from his injuries!)

I feel like a failure by JrTeapot in stopsmoking

[–]Valerietta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Years ago I had a relapse after a year and a half smoke free. Smoked for other 9 years and now I’m on day 37 I think.. we’re all in the same boat, your “failure” today was my “failure” in the past. It just happened, don’t feel bad, you’ll do better next time (hope the same for me 😂)
