I caved today. I completely gave in.What happened? I don’t know. I had a reaction to the patch, and after 3 days of itching and rashes, I stopped using it. I hung in there for a few more days, but this morning I caved when I went for a walk. Time to reformulate, figure out what I am going to do next, and see if I can come up with a better plan. I’ve just got to keep believing that I can do this. It is so hard.
As for knitting, haven’t done a single stitch. Not one. I’ve been trying to keep moving and busy with yard work, organizing, and the such. I’m going nuts here, and I am not a very pleasant person to live with right now. I told Spurg that I caved, he’s being understanding about it. I think it’s time to talk to Kate (family doc) about my options here. I really do need some help with this.
I’ll see if I can drum up some knitting, spinning or crafty content for Monday. But if I were you, I wouldn’t hold my breath. I’m just going through a tough time right now.
It’s ok to cave. Rome wasn’t built in a day. So it will take time for you to completely modify your smoking and eating behavior. Just remember that you have plenty of people supporting you. Courageous people are the one’s that fall, but always get up to begin the race again realizing that they won’t be defeated.–>

OK, can I have one? OK, NOT funny.
Christine! You have been with me since the beginning. I am always with you.
Do you want to go with me to Carolina Homespun tomorrow (or Friday, or anytime???) to help me get this wheel fixed. I used to smoke too, C, it’s more addictive than heroin! But it’s OK girl, hang in there.
Email me OK! Let’s talk!!!

Take a little break and when you feel up to it, try again. That’s what I tell myself when I fall of the dieting wagon.

It took me about 4 tries before I was really able to quit. Don’t beat yourself up just consider it practice! So don’t give up you will quit when your ready.

Wait! I know what the problem is, you’re supposed to put the patch over your mouth! Seriously, I think there are a couple of different patches and then there is the gum too. I’d definitely talk to the doctor, there may be other ways too! Don’t beat yourself up over this, I don’t think anyone quits on the first try. Big Hugs!

Still cheering you on! I know it’s not easy. Could you be allergic to the adhesive on the patch? Just keep trying; you’ll get there.

This was your first effort, no one said that you only get one. It’s a hard habit to break, just give it another try on another day. I’m cheering for you too.

Move on from here and get back on track. Your knitting will be there when you feel like doing it. I’m still here cheering you on!

It’s okay…it’s a step backward, but it’s not the end of the road!

That is okay. Those are some addictive things. Give yourself a break and keep working on it. I am staring to try and lose weight and I am having the same problem as you. It is hard to start and stay with it.
