Day 20

I don’t really have any questions just wanted to say I’m at day 20 ! 

Haven’t gained any weight , went to my dr and had thyroid checked ( I was a bit paranoid ) and it’s fine . I’m briskly walking 5 miles a day ( even in the rain ) , I’m cooking and meal prepping , I’m spending hours a day in the garden , growing vegetables and soaking up the sun . 

Still sad and anxious lots of times during the day but I know it will pass and I know having a sad memory or thought does NOT require a smoke . 

I’ve found for me , having a positive , upbeat attitude has helped me enormously this time . 

I want to thank everyone on this site who has been supportive and encouraging the past 20 days ....

When things are hard , I come on here and read for 30 mins or so and it’s comforting to know I’m not alone in feeling lost and anxious sometimes

It sounds like you are doing great and congratulations on 20 days!!

Forcing yourself to have that upbeat, positive attitude will help you so much. Even on the days I felt down, I would try to focus on all the positives in my life.

Just an FYI then, you don't have to post as a question or discussion. You can post as a personal blog and everyone will see it.

You are so right - having that positive, upbeat attitude makes all the difference! I have been here for almost 9 years and I can usually spot those who will be successful based on their attitude. You have got the kind of attitude that gets this done! Congrats to you!
