Hi everyone! Thank you all so much for your support - I certainly needed it when & after I posted. I am doing better than I was and I DIDN'T have a cigarette! (Yippee!). I did have a horrid couple of days and I get very impatient - I gave up smoking because I knew I had to so I could start getting into some sort of exercise and start to lose a terrible amount of weight I've put on over the last 3 years. Very tough 3 years I've had and I have to learn that it's going to take time to get where I want to go - I've really done very well so far, with help from the universe/etc who/whatever I think. I just get very impatient and I want to be where I want to get to NOW!! In the words of Dave Graney (Australian musician) - "You want to be there, but you don't want to travel" I saw the incredible lack of energy I experienced over those few days as a road block I couldn't pass. Hopefully now I have and thanks to you all who have helped me greatly ?

Firstly thank goodness this forum exists. I have been feeling angry and frustrated all day and thinking...."one. just one will help today"...haven't done that - YET Ripped Off - quitting smoking is meant to be good for you! This is day 13 for me. I started off really well, but I've been sooooo tired for the last few days I've been unable to achieve anything which has really annoyed me - I have heaps of housework to do. I even slept night before last/all yesterday/all last night. I had aching legs. Incredible hunger - driven to junk after I've eaten a healthy breakfast, lunch and dinner. Feeling fat and can't do anything about exersize feeling this way. Did a fair bit of walking around the shops the other day and came home exhausted. So low have had spates of crying. So angry - when am I going to feel better for not smoking rather than feeling let down by all the disappointment?
