Day 2 musings... I have not had a cigarette in 18 hours. I really do not want a cigarette; but my inner child is very petulant. My inner child is demanding I not listen to my logical brain and smoke one. I never smoke in my house or my vehicle so there are never any cravings inside of those two places. I wonder if it would be possible to just exist in either my house, or my car, for the next 3 days? Sigh. It is not possible. I had to banish my inner child to the time out chair in the form of Welbutrin. The medication has drastically reduced my nicotine cravings over the last 4 weeks. 18 hours ago I told myself I would not smoke anymore. Today, I will not smoke with me. This is for the best as I only have 2 more weeks of Welbutrin and I have been dragging my feet through this entire process. I know, I know, and I want to, I do; but at the same time, I want to be able to have all my vices. Food wise, doing good. I did exactly what I said I wanted to do last night. I did not eat a bunch of crap. In fact, I am getting ready to log my intake from last night and this morning. One more day of eating Maruchan ramen then never, ever again will I consume that cardboard. We all make choices. I made a choice to go to Colorado for 2 weeks and hike EVERYWHERE. It was gorgeous. My butt hurt a lot. So, Maruchan ramen is my penance for 2 weeks of fun. The best part of these journal entries is that I am giving my future self something to chuckle at.

And we can chuckle along with you now. You seem to have a great sense of humor! Hats off to you for tackling two very tough challenges at once! Working on your diet and smoking all at once had to be killer, but you can do it and will never regret the temporary sacrifice! That photo is beautiful! In a place like that, how could you not have a lovely smile! Hang in there!

So true! I resorted to Gobstoppers or Dum-Dums when I stopped in December of 2017–especially when gardening or in places where I used to smoke outside. I bet Colorado was so beautiful, and I love your comment at the end about your future self chuckling. Take care!😊🎈

Wow, you have really taken on tough changes! I salute your will-power.
Beautiful photo! I worked in CO one winter, such a gorgeous place.

Wonderful job on both those areas. I can tell you from experience that the no smoking does get easier. I quit in 2001 and I've not looked back too often over the years. I didn't have your courage to tackle smoking and diet at the same time. What a strong trooper you are.

Get it!! I smoked for years, Had to give up my precious coffee for a short time because I couldn't have it without a cig. Different triggers for all of us. You can do it and think of the money you'll save. You always here about people saving up their cigarette money for a treat of some sort. That wasn't me. LOL. Nice pic, too!

@ davidsprincess, girl, I have substituted herbal tea in place of the coffee for the past 2 days in prep for the no smoking. I caught myself humming "Nothing Compares to You" when I saw an ad for Foldgers. The struggle is real. I'm currently surviving on an assortment of herbal teas from aloe to cinnamon. BUT, it's has been 22 hours now since a cigarette. Old me would have cracked by now. Thank you Welbutrin for keeping this willpower strong.

Quitting is tough. I was very cranky when I quit lol but keep going! Life is SO much better when you're no longer a smoker! You can breathe.

My bf is doing the same...diet and smoking. He has done great with the smoking but quitting made it harder for him with the diet - it isn't easy doing both. You got this! I would prioritize quitting smoking and be patient with yourself with the diet. Good luck darlin'.

@AboutMyTribe, tell him to hang in there. My husband is also a smoker. He has no interest in quitting at this time. That is his choice. I have been working towards these last 22 hours for weeks now. This is my choice. Unfortunately, if I want my numbers to continue to be good, I have to focus on the diet and lose more weight. T2D is terrible, it is akin to a death sentence. You do not know when the Holy Death is coming for you, but it is coming.

@sallyf78 thanks! I am an hour from leaving the office. Normally I would have smoked at least 4 cigarettes by now. It feels really good to have made it through this work day without cracking. Going home to get my son ready for TKD and then off to the gym. Since I do not smoke in my car or my house, it is easier to say no there. Go figure. Stupid addiction.

Love your hiking photo, beautiful country. Quoting smoking was one of the best gifts I ever gave myself, it's been about 25 years now. You can do this, keep up the good work!

I smoked for 18 years. Quit for 9 months and fell back in. I decided to quit again. It has been 2 1/2 years. I have gained 29 lbs and at first I didn’t care what I was eating as long as I got through something without smoking. I then saw the time and money I spent on smoking. I filled the time with either sleeping, cleaning or exercise. I got a new car bc I didn’t want to be around the smell. I used Wellbutrin but got off of it as soon as I could. There are still days I think about picking up one and then I force myself to think about what I have gained back. I used peppermint patties- they curbed the cravings. I think it’s a feeling you will always have. But I am a non smoker and no Matter how much weight I gain. I’m not going back.

I quit last year, the best thing I ever did. It was really really tough. Non smokers have no idea how hard it is. It was pretty rough and it took so long for the cravings to go. I also gained a lot of weight which is the weight I am fighting now!
