Hi thank you to you all for your wonderful replies. Im so glad that it was helpful or of value to you. I know that you have started again paulrabbit thats ok stay here and get inspired again to stop, hurry up and get back on the wagon hun lol. I say that you never fail till you stop trying (hope) that makes sense. I tell myself each day i dont smoke i gain one more day of me being in control not the smokes, gain one more day of freedom, one more day of extra health to my body, one more day that my children and I can be proud of me for quitting, one more day my children dont tell me to give up and that i stink or they dont want me to die (God love them) one more day that I dont have to look like an out cast puffing away outside a shop or just outside a yellow or red line on the concrete, one more day of extra strength and faith that I can recall for myself when I have to overcome something that is stressing me or trying to put me in a panic attack or state of anxiety. Each day I dont I gain one more big healthy dose of confidence in myself by the grace of God that see's me through any difficulty that I can now face calmly without my smokes. One more day that I am no longer bound to the demon of tobacco and the industry that made it look so glamorous and innocent to us once suckers!!!! We shout hooray we are no longer a sucker or a slave to the damn buggers, yeah yeah shake it shake it do a dance and a spin or just jump in the air well done everyone xx

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
