Fruit and veg are carbs 2funny 2funny 2funny

I cannot eat fruit and only certain veggies!
 
I'm glad you stop smoking, I tried it once...Yuck! I couldn't smoke anyhow, I'm a very bad asthamtic. :)
 
My OH was seriously addicted to cigarettes, had 2 with every pint of beer and in those days he had a lot of pints ;D

I nagged and nagged and he finally stopped. He went cold turkey but couldn't do that so used patches and (normal) chewing gum. Even now, years later he still looks at someone in the pub and says 'that's my brand' ::) Only the fact that he's got us and his health to think about keeps him off them. He freely admits he misses smoking but having seen my parents - one had a massive heart attack at 52 and the other's plumbed into oxygen 16 hours a day, he realises it's not worth it.

Keep up with it Niki, if the going gets tough get some patches and think of your health :)

I'm chewing gum but i can't have patches because of my psoriasis :( Tried them when they came out & had a lovely big red weal mark where it'd been.
I'm going to ring my gp's as soon as i'm better to see what they offer

Inhalators are also great, I used one the first time I went out for a drink after i'd given up and it really worked, actually satisfied the craving, its weird you can actually feel something at the back of your throat, like smoke, and of course you got the hand to mouth action as well.

I used one of those last year, when i attempted to kick the habit, i was forced into it by the doctor on my ward.
I hated it but i have to say i wasn't ready to stop & that's probably why i didn't.
It's taking all my energy to keep my breathing at one pace at the mo but i think i'll give the inhalators a try again.
Thanks Bev :)
