Journal Entry for January 14, 2008 Mood
Monday, January 14, 2008

So I'm disappointed in myself.  I smoked this weekend.  I put my daughter to bed on Friday night and I decided to try on my wedding gown.  I put it on and it didn't fit - couldn't even zip it up all the way.  I started crying hysterically and decided then and there that I was going to smoke until those pounds are lost.  Here I am, standing in a $700 wedding gown and it doesn't fit.  I bought this dress on 12/29 and it already doesn't fit.  So then I weighed myself and I've gained 5 pounds since I quit.  Is this normal?  I mean seriously.. 5 pounds in 5 days.  If that's the case I don't want to make it to 30 days..  I'm at a loss right now. 

 

I'm so worried that I will gain too much weight and will not be happy on my wedding day.. you're supposed to feel like the most beautiful person on your wedding day, but I have a feeling that isn't going to happen for me until I lose 40 pounds.  I've been on Weight Watchers for over a month and it drives my fiance crazy because I am always counting and writing down what I eat.. but it isn't working.. I just keep gaining. 

 

I don't know what to do anymore. What if I gain too much weight from quitting that I can't wear my gorgeous dress and I feel horrible that day and ugly and fat?  I don't want my fiance's first thought when I walk down the aisle to be "wow, she really did gain a lot of weight."  It is not my determination to be a giant marshmallow..

 

anyways, I did stop again.. had a momentary lapse.. but I'm worried I'll go back just to avoid having the wedding from hell..

 

Sorry - I'm so stressed today and writing this is making me even sadder, so I'm gonna go..

    the first few weeks of quitting are such an emotional roller coaster. You just have to hold on you will get over it I promise and things will be so much better you won't even be thinking about smoking anymore... hard to believe but it's true. You won't keep gaining weight honestly... I WANTED to gain more than I did and gained about 10 pounds in the first month now I can't gain a pound even trying... things level off and you will loose those 5 measily pounds. Besides the glowing beautiful rosy cheeks and sparkle in your eye and no rotten stench of smoking will totally make up for 5 lbs that no one is going to notice but yourself anyways. I hope you are still quit or at least still wanting to quit. HUGS! Take care!

    Have you heard of the "Zone"? It's amazing! I recently lost 15 lbs and now fit into the "skinny jeans"! Eat 3 meals daily+2snacks-just avoid bad carbs(white bread,pasta) and sugar. I suggest you look into it.
