I have been using the nicotine patches - but suddenly realised today that I haven't used one for 2 days! quite amazing - will see how long I can keep it up!

[Uk Girl]

wow - still no nicotine patch BUT think have started to eat more which is not good - so will try to keep that in check - calories have gone right to the max of what I should have some days.


Had BP done today 170 / 90 hmm bit high but was rushing around before hand, also bloods taken for cholesterol - should get results on Friday. If they come back high I am going to get a retest in 6 weeks.

Have a good day everyone

Off out for breakfast now as hubbie and I both have a day off!!
and gonna trawl round garages - reckon I deserve a new car as my 'no fags' reward!!

Uk girl, you do not need to count calories.

Rich

[Uk Girl]

Hi Rich

sorry to be a pain in the butt! but...........If I eat more calories than my body needs then surely I would put weight on even though I am getting the right pecentages of fat etc???

and if that is not the case - if I have a munchy day - as us girls do! then can I work my way through pepperami and cheese strings - just like I would have with chocolate?

ps - I bought a new car!! hee hee

[angelstar]

What new car did you get? I bought a new car 2 months ago, black Tigra convertible and I love her to pieces. I cant wait for the summer so I can cruise around looking cool, lol.

Thank you for the compliment about looking younger, you are the first person to say that to me since being on this WOE. I definately think that 13_Jane has knocked years off her, she's such a star
