its been a month but I’ve gained back at least 15 pounds, and it’s been really
hard not to munch on stuff I’m not supposed to have. looks like I get to start
all over again. end of the month is when I start running out of money and my
food, that doesn’t help either. if I only have $20 left and I need stuff on my
list but my kids need milk, bread, cereal ect.. there is no questions as to what
I’m going to get. I’m gradually getting my girls 1 & 5 to eat like me but small
children do need carbs. tomorrow’s the first and I’m planning on precutting a
ton of veggies and baking stuff for me ahead of time so when I get those
cravings I’ll be ready. I’m also going to make meals ahead of time and freeze
them. I lost it once I’ll lose it again. good thing summer is coming, that will
help.
thanks

Jessika, I quit smoking on Jan. 1 and have found it not to be much of a problem
as long as I don’t stay with the occasional urge of wanting a cigarette. It
comes up and it goes away almost instantly. I have found that seating something
crunchy usually helps. Lately that has been rice crackers. I also find that if
the feeling is too strong, if I get up and move around, the feeling goes away
faster. Congratulations on your quitting. Nicotine is one of the hardest
addictions to overcome. I keep telling myself that I am treating my body better
than I ever have both with the stopping smoking and with starting the BTD. Good
luck in your triumph over the urges to smoke.
