Quit Blogs

So today is my 12th day without a smoke. I only just relised that when I quit smoking, I stopped biting my nails. I dont know why or how because I didnt plan it or even try. I thought that was pretty cool. I havnt felt like a smoke for a few days now which is good. Still get the bad moods and snap every now and again but finally my head doesnt feel cloudy and I can think properly. Im relieved bowt that lol. Im a bit worried about next week. Ive heard week 3 is difficult and I remember I caved on my last attempt at quitting on week 3. I thought I could just have the one. I know this time I cant at all. I really dont want to go back to smoking. All the money I spent on smokes every pay day is going into a savings to go on holiday next year. Im really looking forward to that. Everytime I crave one I think of that holiday lol.

Why do I feel hungry all the time? Im kicking one habit but picking up another - I cant stop eating. I struggle with the weight as it is. Five years ago I was at my biggest and I hated it. Today I am at peace with it after loosing 30kgs just from working on a dairy farm. It probably wouldnt have taken so long if I ate properly. Im not very good with the whole healthy eating thing. Its not that I wouldnt do it, more that I wouldnt know where to start. I am prepard to put on some unwanted kgs but I dont want to go back to square one with my weight. Im not going to forget how hard it was to get rid of lol. Anyone have any tips on how to keep away from the yummy food all the time or should I worry about that later?

Wow I cant believe it. Eight whole days without a smoke and I know thats not very many and it is early days but getting through that first week, what a mission. My sister and I are quitting together and a lot of the smokers we know had us failing before we even quit (which is not very nice or supportive). Non smokers and smokers who are ready to quit have been amazing and we have thanked them for supporting us. Anyways, getting to the point we relised who was getting behind us fully and thats all you guys. With all your amazing support and reading the blogs, its made it easier knowing we are not the only ones going down this rocky road. As soon as we get a craving at home we jump onto quitline and it works. Reading the blogs really does help! Im just taking time out to thank you all so much for your support and helping changing my life. I am only now starting to believe that I am a non smoker and it sounds so good saying it too. Once again THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!

Can anyone tell me how long until the body starts to go back to normal? Since day 1 of quitting I have had a headache and I cant shake it. It comes and goes all day everyday. The last 2 days I have been unpleasent to be around with my moods. It doesnt seem to take much for me to snap and I feel guilty after I do. I cant seem to get my brain to function clearly either. I forget things all the time. I'd describe it as feeling cloudy. It sounds weird I know. Is all of it normal? If so it must start coming right soon yeah? On the bright side, the cravings are getting less and less.I have not craved a smoke at all today so far. Its been a good day for that.

Day 1 was easier than I thought it would of been for me but today has been hard. I found myself craving a smoke on and off all day. My work mates all smoke so Im around it there. I find the smell of them horrible already but I thought it would be too early for that. Its annoying me that Im not liking the smell of it but Im still craving one. As much as I wanted one today, Im proud of myself that I didnt. Day 3 of being smokefree tomorrow. Bring it on :)
