Life Sucks Mood
Friday, November 6, 2009 | A Venting story

I don't know why I ever quit smoking.  It's totally screwed up my weight-loss program and I really think that was more important to me and my husband.  Ever since I quit, my weight-loss has been slowed and now it's stopped which really pisses me off.  I'm sick and tired of eating crappy food and not being able to smoke and not being able to drink and having no outlets for any kind of enjoyment.  Basically, life is boring and sucks.

 

This weekend Tim is down in Mexico at Rocky Point with his Motorcycle Club and I guess that is part of why I'm so depressed but that's not all of it.  This has been brewing for a couple of weeks.  I started taking the aerobics class in the hopes that it would step up my metabolism but I guess that doesn't work.  I think  my meds need adjusting.  Crying in the middle of the day is a sympton of something.  I'm just tired of being sick.

    it will get better. maybe your meds need adjusting since you arent smoking and have lost weight. everyone reaches a plateau in weight loss. maybe your goal is more than your body can handle right now. so you had a bad week, shake it off, talk to the doc and move on. you will survive this

    hi, just reading your journal, don't worry we all gain a little weight when quitting smoking give it a little time and you will be so proud you did quit and you will find your life will change and the weight is the next thing to tackle, why not try something covered in cimamen it stops you eating things that you shouln't or ginger is pretty powerfull if you like it, you wont want to spoil the taste with anything else,
    i bet your family and your hubby are so proud you have quit smoking, i am not sure how long you have quit, but i do know in the early days mainly in the first 3 months of quitting crying is natural its a withdrawal from smoking your body is in the change of a new life a happier one and it will pass,
    please don't smoke, you have worked hard and it will work in the end, take each day slowly don't worry about your weight to much take gentle exercise walk and breathe deep, don't try doing to much or to many things in one go,
    well sending you some happiness and hope to see you smiling love carol xx
