NOPE

ok....great pics ladies...and sorry to highjack your birthday thread Sarah but my birthday is in less than a month, so I would like to submit a request. I am a sucker for nice eyes and a great, genuine smile...and this guy has both. :wub: Plus, I know someone who works at a radio station and spent some time with him and said he was down to earth and personable. More points. :wub:

Love it! :wub:

I have slacked on the celebrations thread BIG TIME but...I can't let a 1 year anny go by...especially for our El Bandito!~ So proud of you Stuart......Way to Go!!! Celebrate!!

Hi Mom! lol :)

Welcome to the QT BB. :)

So glad to hear from you and know you are well! :) Hugs!!

Congrats Brenndy! It's completely normal to feel that way. I am sure you smoked for quite some time so it is going to take time. Just know that it does get better, the tough moments get far and few between and they weaken, while YOU get stronger. Great job! You are right where you need to be at this stage in your quit. Onward and upward...and know that you will never have to repeat this first week again for the remainder of your beautiful life. How's that for awesome??? :)

Hello Rob! Nice to meet you too...and welcome to the forum! If you've been reading the forum, you know that education is key and taking it one day at a time, committing to NOPE..and knowing (even when you feel shaky about it) that "this too shall pass"..because it does, and you will feel fantastic, confident, happy. Non smokers are happy....you are a non smoker. Happy to have you here and congratulations to you on the best decision of your life. :)

No high five Not enough food girl. You need to eat, to lose.

Jen...write what you are eating and we will "high five" ya and yell at you for free. :)

hahahahahaha!

Sometimes I plan trips. Some I never end up taking...that doesn't matter. seems to make me feel good and something to look forward to. :)

as soon as September rolled around...I would start. Dreading the upcoming winter. Hating that it will be getting dark early and soon be chilly and Fall sets in and everyone is celebrating Halloween...then thanksgiving..and xmas. I would just make it through but not enjoy. I laid around a lot...gained weight....watched TV all the time. I was anticipating winter before it was even here which made me more miserable. Usually after the new year I finally accepted it was winter and started looking forward to Spring. One day 3 years ago..I realized that all that was in my head. (except for the physical symptoms due to lack of sunlight) So I started decorating for Fall...and making myself enjoy it and focus on the positive.....after December 21st we gain a minute of sunlight each day. Knowing that helps...I also love doing my spring countdown....that helps (62 days till Spring) Changing my attitude helped, making myself go outside every day even when it's cold (bundle up), exercise every single day (even when i dont want to), eating healthy...meditation...all these contribute to a much more pleasant winter. ...I still hate the cold...still want to move down south where it's warmer...but...I am learning to embrace it. One thing we have that warmer climates don't have is that wonderful feeling of Spring Fever....so grateful for the warmth and growth of new green grass and flowers and birds chirping, windows open....it's a feeling I know I would miss.
