Feel mega fat tonight cos of all the junk i have been eating today, I'm a big F1 fan so that was on telly, so sat for 2 hours and done !!!!!! all except eat eat eat. But i'll start the diet again tomorrow. It's 3 weeks on tuesday since i stopped smoking, apart from my little slip up in the middle it's gone really well, and don't want a cigarette any more, am finding that i am not looking for them either. I could however, when my daughter or OH are smoking I could quite happily have one with them if that makes sense. Don't have that same urge when i'm with smokers at work. Weird eh?

Looks like there's a few of us had piggy weekends then. Back to the diet on monday morning. Straight to tesco on way to work for a bucketful of fruit and veg in the morning. I am determined that I will go back to the shops soon for those size 14 jeans!

Wow mazza, have to congratulate you on your weight loss :j Don't know how the hell you've done it though! I've put on half a stone since stopping, though I was overweight to start with by a stone. Kept saying I'd stop smoking once I'd lost that stone, which of course never happened, so just took the bull by the horns eventually. Now I'm a stone and a half over-weight :rolleyes:

I've tried the fruit and carrot thing, but they just don't appeal somehow ... only crisps, nuts and chocolates will do the job

Must, must make an effort this week .. fed up of feeling like a beach whale!

Well I'm back on track now after my blip. I don't want to smoke so I'm not using it as an excuse to fall off the wagon.

I have put on quite a lot of weight suddenly. I was a bit too skinny but I hate feeling uncomfortable in my clothes. I feel particularly fat after the weekend.

During the week I am very active as I have 2 toddlers and don't drive and everywhere that we need to go is at least a 20 minute walk away and the walk home is all uphill - quite hard work with 1.5 stone son plus shopping in the pram and 2.5 stone daughter standing on a buggy board! I've been eating a lot of cheese and I think this has really chonked it on. Oh and also chocolate. I'm cutting out the cheese to start with and am going to try to start doing some exercise when I get time.

Funnily enough I didn't put on any weight while on the high strength patches - they must affect your metabolism/appetite in the same way that smoking does. Since I've gone cold turkey I just want to eat all the time when I'm not busy.

The thing that is most depressing about my blip is that I just sat there smoking as though I'd never stopped. It wasn't that it felt all that great - it just felt like something natural that I do. How can it be natural to habitually put sticks in your mouth full of cancerous chemicals and then set fire to them? Why do I want to do something so dangerous which also smells so disgusting???:mad:
