Yep I have hypothyroidism and am taking medication for it. It worked for a while, I wasn't gaining any weight but that didn't last very long. Now I'm retaining water again. I'm not too worried over the weight thing but I am very much over weight and I just want to feel healthy. I'm tired of my body aches.....ohhh wait, that's probably cuz I'm gettin old....dang, reality bites. :blush: Hmmmm brushing teeth, nudder good idea! Keep em comin!!! :)

Just cleaned the kitchen..took my mind off the smoke and now I'm chewin the nicorette gum. Actually works..whew. Craving not so bad at this moment.

Ohhh hubby bought some strawberries last night....yummmm I had a slim fast for breakfast this morning & the water is keeping me from eating I think. I usually don't eat during the day so I'm not too worried about porkin out on anything but I do have an emergency supply of carrots, apple cinnamon rice cakes, and fruit. Oh yeah, chewing on a straw helps too!

Yes today is my first day. Thanks for the tips. The craving is so bad right now. I'm at the point where I will go outside and find a butt to just take one hit. No No No. I will not do that. I'll go grab some water. I don't want to smell.

Milaya: That is what I have too...BLAH! My T4 is 1.63 but a normal TSH level...go figure...so I have to pick up my scripts for bloodwork for an appt on the 24th. At the moment, I am .125 for my meds. I hate it when it goes out of whack...I end up sleepy, dry scalp, itchy skin, etc...BLAH BLAH BLAH!! I read somewhere once we are supposed to get out thyroid levels checked 4 weeks after a successful quit. Something about metabolism, thyroid, and something else....*scratches head* I forget the other reason.... :/ [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 4/4/2006 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 10 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 85 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $20 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 0 [B]Hrs:[/B] 22 [B]Mins:[/B] 27 [B]Seconds:[/B] 9

It's so true Milaya! I sliced up a lemon and stuck it into my mouth. I have a special place in my heart for tart things :) As for cleaning...I bought all kinds of cleaning products w/ the orange scent :) I love that smell :) *sigh* You did very well :) WOOT!!
