I am working on getting to my goal of losing about 40 pounds. I want to finally be happy with myself - even if I will never be model thin! I am a mother of a 5 year old little boy and 2 dogs (a weiner dog and a bloodhound!). I live in Freeport, PA and work in downtown Pittsburgh.

Thank you! So wonderful to hear from you!!
How have you been? Is your little man done with his first year of school? Mine will be done Monday, though I think my daughter is skipping out on tomorrow and Monday, as the teachers have told them to (she's in high school).

Hope you are well!!
Hugs,
Beth

Good Morning!
Well, it was a rocky start. I first tried to quit on 4/9 (at 171.5 lbs) and only made it 3 days. Then I smoke for 5 days, quit again for 3 days, smoked for 2 days, then finally quit again on 4/22 (at 168 lbs). 2 1/2 weeks later I am at 166.
So looking back in the last month, I have lost 5.5 lbs.
The first time I tried to quit, TOM came the same day, and those couple days I was having cravings. But I'm not sure from which. This time, I haven't had any cravings, so maybe it was just TOM.

I'm now on Step 2 and doing fine. No cravings, no weight gain.
It can be done! The one thing I did the first few days, and even still do on occasion, is use the sugar free Ice Breaker mints. That helps for cravings with both smoking and food!

I do know that I wouldn't have been so successful if I had just quit cold turkey. I tried, but just couldn't do it. So while I may be using an aid, at least I'm no longer smoking. I am getting nicotine yes, but not all the other hundreds of harmful chemicals in a cigarette!

Hope you're having a good week so far. Happy hump day!
Hugs,
Beth

Hello! How are you doing? Thought I would stop in and wish you a terrific Tuesday!!

P.S. I'm 2 1/2 weeks smoke free now! I moved to Step 2 on the patch too! I'm feeling so much better. If you try again, I highly recommend this method!
