Watch something funny on TV or netflix, or an interesting documentary , or read a good book. Find a new hobby, or do some cooking! Distraction is often the key ;-0

I feel for you Jo. My sister has had her gall bladder out and has a lot of problems with what she can and can't eat. Thinking of you , and hope you feel better soon x

Sorry to hear you are struggling at the moment Linda. It is hard going the first few weeks, and of course you miss it, is only natural when its something that has been a big part of your life for years. I found it difficult at first too, as I,m sure most on here have, and depression and loneliness played a big part in my early quit. Please keep going, its the only way to get to that good feeling about yourself and life, and honestly it will come, as long as you stay determined. Treat yourself to something nice, something you wanted to buy, but said you couldnt afford. I did that and then thought, well I cant smoke now, I couldnt afford to smoke and have the expensive item. Eat something nice and tasty to lift your mood. Go for a walk, anything to stop you moping and thinking about it. Dont give up, you are doing so well, even if you think you are'nt.

Yes I’m still following this diet most of the time. I eat a lot of grains, beans, lentils, vegetables and fruit. But I do like chicken now and again, and a bit of gammon. I feel a lot healthier reducing my meat meals. what is ketogenic diet, will have to look that up lol.

Hi Midmale, keep digging those heels in and stay determined. Depression is common in the early stages. I cried a lot and felt a deep sense of loss. As Mee says, it is like ending a relationship with a good friend, except that friend did'nt do you any favours at all. Try and get through this any way you can, read up here, watch Joel Spitzer videos on here or youtube, they kept me going in the early days. I also found relaxing sleep music and hypnotherpy videos helped me to relax and keep focus. 6 weeks free from smoking is amazing, dont let these feelings stop your journey. They will pass and you will feel better than you have ever felt. Say strong.

Great to see you here Mick, and congrats on 6 weeks already. Dont worry about the brain fog, that will go in time. Just concentrate on keeping that lovely quit going, and treat yourself well.
