Well did any of you make New Years Resolutions and if so have you stuck with them ? Me - made loads - havent stuck with any of them YET. Like walk the kids to school instead of drive ...... havent done that - Eat Healthy instead of junk food ..... The Kebabs in Kebab Palace are toooooo tempting to refuse ! Drink less ........... Ok instead of getting pint bottles of Bulmers at last orders - I am only getting one and two Tia Marias - soooooooooooooo im not drinking as much liquids right !!! SMOKING - OH MY GOD - Im off them now - well since last night - and am gagging for one - I really really want one - NO I DONT - but I really do !!!!!!!!!!!! Ah sure eventually I will go off the fags and not worry about cravings or anything like that will I ???? |

Im 3 days off the cigarettes and am dying ! No not really Im doing okay but its soooooooo hard - Im doing the patches at the mo and am reading Alan Carrs book - However he just died of lung cancer!! His book is a bit odd - its kinda brainwashing stuff and alot is repeated - anyone else read it and did it work ?? The patches are irritating me - I just feel really itchy with them on !!! Now I feel better that I got that out of my system !!!

D...Keep it up....You're doing great.....I'm off them 7 years now, it's such a relief not to be governed by the ciggies. They say it takes 3 days to get over the nicotine...the rest is all about moving on and getting into new habits. You've done the hard bit so stick with it!!!!

Off the cigs 10 months (at least 30 a day) Stick with the patches. Just dont put them in the same spot as it will irritate the skin. 6 weeks of patches and haven't touched a cig since. |

Well done Delia for trying to give them up, I know it's hard but you can do it and it will be sooooo worth it in the end. I gave them up two years ago and health wise I have never felt better.....I actually hate cigarettes now. My kids are also so proud of me. Never read Alan Carrs book but I know some friends who did and it worked for them, most of my friends don't smoke anymore. Keep trying you will get there  |

I want to stick to a good fitness program and continue to drop weight. I plan on staying off the beer (not the vino mind) and keep to a good healthy diet. |

Still walking every night (only through the town mind) but no drink save one night since new years. My God I'm going to be legless after 1 pint on 17th... (We agreed we'd have a jar on 'occassions' so it's allowed...) |

D keep it up I gave up last year on eight of jan and havent had one since . First two weeks where hell after that much easier. Didnt do patches sheer willpower oh and a few glasses of vino helped too!!!!!!!!!!!!! I read book too and have to say it does change your mindset re smoking. I'm still delighted with myself anytime I see someone smoking feel great Edited by Blondie |

At this point its about changing habits as much as anything. When you feel you need a cigarette, do something different even for a few minutes all you need is to distract yourself for a few minutes and the craving will pass. Its possible to succeed. I'm off them 16 years. |

Hey BB, I stopped smoking two years ago. I had already stopped when I read Alan Carr's book. I found it great, just to reinforce the point taht there is no point in smoking. Working so far. However, I had a major lifestyle change - stopped drinking, went to gym and diet etc. because of a remark a friend made about my weight one night outside the oub when we were having smoke. It made me think about my life and stuff. hHaven't looked back. The personal trainer said I have the consitution of someone half my age. the locum doctor couldn't belive I was 50. Gave me a big head but it's bloody hard work keeping the discipline.

Fair play Muller, I really hope I can make the same change. It is certainly my goal. My hubby is much like you although he has not given up the drink yet. He gave up the smoking years ago and is a loyal gym person and turns 50 this year and looks really good for it.
