I’m just getting caught up here. I have been busy tormenting others with “the diet”. I love the “tastes like ass” part. Will you please post your testimonial on my website? Cracking up! Keep up the great work. You are a rock star!!!!!

the best solution for you – start smoking again.

Bless your heart honey…

Long time lurker here, I’ve never commented, but just adore you and your sense of humor. You’re like one of my kids, just as funny, and just as prolific. I read you to keep my mind off the smokes ;)

I haven’t smoked since 10/5/07. I used Chantix for 4 weeks, Welbutrin (using to this date, no sexual side effects – that is important!!!) and running to beat it. When I quit smoking I weighed 164, and ten months later, I weigh 158. Not a super model (you might even say heifer), but I run 5 days a week for at least an hour, and I eat like drunks drink and love it. I have the calves and wrists of a supermodel, and I’m not trying to kill everything that crosses my path. I am not starving, and I absolutely refuse to.

Hang in there honey, you’ve got all of us here behind you cheering you on…

We all love you, and you’re going to get through this… even if you cave and have one, worse things have happened… just keep trying. And treat yourself like you have the flu… there is NOTHING harder than quitting smoking.

Beet definitely read the comments. The poor girl has to play moderator too.

Usually you can get her attention if you say things like “your feet are so white it looks like you have socks on”. I think I made her a little sad the day I said that.

for your weight.. do it the old fashion way. vomit your way into being a hot, skinny bitch.

for your anxiety.. just masturbate yourself into oblivion.

for leo.. call your house and call him thru the answering machine.. hearing him bark at your voice should get you thru the day

PS.. do you even read this?

I didn’t read all the comments, so it this is redundant, sorry. CINNAMON helps with CRAVINGS for cigarettes. I smoked for 30 years, quit 1 year and one month ago and LIVED on RED HOTS. I could not find cinnamon sticks anywhere, so red hots worked for me. It is proven that cinnamon alleviates cravings for cigarettes (I had a quit coach who also smoked for 30 years and also used cinnamon). I realize you are adding sugar and empty calories but I did not gain any weight because every time I reached for something, it was red hots. Keep using them as long as you need them, they’re cheap and easy to find. Worry about the diet later, get thru the 1st 6 months and you’ll be fine. Then, get off the red hots (yes, it took a little work) and THEN diet. believe me, it works.

Beet,

Bring Leo to work with you. He is a bright star in you life. He will get you through the cravings. Also, you need to post some recent photos or video of him. He always makes me smile.

I wish I could commiserate, but I am actually having a rather good day in the midst of mostly crappy ones. So I can definitely say that good days do come along once in a while. You just gotta wait out the ones where you are feeling a little homicidal.

I will say that you should know that when your faithful readers are having days/weeks/months like this, they come read your site to feel better. So I hope all the good vibes you give out come right back to you!

I meant fall of the wagon, not fail off it.

I’m proud of you Beet. The only way out for any of these issues is through and you can do it!

You might want to consider tackling one major issue at a time if the anger continues. That way you don’t feel like you are overwhelmed by deprivation.

Also, if you fail off any of your wagons, don’t beat yourself up or give up completely.

I’d also get out and exercise. I hate it, but when I’m done with it I never say I wish I hadn’t done it. It really does help depression.

Best of Luck! You asked for words of encouragement and I gave you opinions and advice. I’m a total mom, sorry.
