I found that the crab and brie dip with fresh sourdough rolls topped off my smokefree day last night!
I'm going to take my dogs for a fast paced morning walk and practice using the newly discovered section of lung space I found that I have! The walk will help wear off the extra calories from my meal last night and prepare me for my breakfast that I just have to have tomorrow! Biscuits and gravy!!! That will be a great start for a new week of staying quit!
Ya'll are killing me. I make my grandmothers sausage gravy and biscuits, but somehow I don't think it fits with my new program of eat less, move. more.
Wait a minute! I think I've got some sausage gravy addict rationalization that will work for me. I have up on the step stool to reach the flour cannister. Then, while I'm browning the sausage, adding the flour, and milk, I've got to stir it, right? Does anyone know how many calories that would take? I'm thinking I would probably lose weight if made sausage gravy biscuits and besides, I can have just one, right?
Now, that's some good diet food. The melted butter, though....not so good.
The Allen Carr DVD has a scene where they talk about people who enjoy cigarrettes. They say that, "you probably enjoy lobster, but that doesn't mean you have to carry 20 lobsters with you every where you go and eat one every 45 minutes". The show an old guy coming out of a store with a dozen lobsters hanging around his neck, from his arms, hooked to his belt....
Hello,
My name is Dale. I was quit 18 months before joining this site and had participated on another site during that time. I learned a lot there and brought it with me. I joined this site the first week of August 2008. I didn't pressure myself to quit.
HOW I QUIT
I didn't count, I didn't deny myself to get started.
When I considered quitting (at a friends request to influence his brother to quit), I simply told myself to wait a little longer. No denial, nothing painful. After 4 weeks I was down to 5 cigarettes from a pack a day. The strength came from proving to myself, I didn't need to smoke because I normally would have smoked. Simple yes? I bought the patch. I forgot to put one on on the 4th day. I needed it the next day but the following week I forgot two days in a row I put one in my wallet with a promise to myself that I would slap it on and wait an hour rather than smoke. It rode in my wallet my first year.There's nothing keeping any of you from doing this. It doesn't cost a dime. This is about unlearning something you've done for a long time. The nicotine isn't the hard part. Disconnecting from the psychological pull, the memories and connected emotions is. :-) Time is the healer.
