Happy Wednesday!!!
Since I've hit this big milestone for me, thought I'd share what has worked so far:
When you're mad: Scream at the top of your lungs, punch a pillow, turn the music up as loud as you can stand and sing or dance, call a friend who understands
When you're sad: Call a friend, cry, get some retail therapy, go for a walk, talk to God or a higher power, get spiritual, do some yoga or meditation.
When you're hungry: Eat, try not to overdo it on the bad stuff, but a treat occasionally (and in the beginning daily) is totally acceptable. Brush your teeth as many times a day as you want. I found STARBURSTS and Starburst gum to be amazing quit buddies. Sunflower seeds, pistachios, beef jerky, DRINK ALOT OF ICE COLD WATER
When you're tired: Take a nap, take a bath with candles and good scented lotions, go to bed, who cares what time it is, get super comfy and just rest, however that looks for you.
When you're bored: RETAIL THERAPY, even go to the Dollar Store, I swear it helps. Start a new beauty routine. Clean out a drawer, a closet, play a game on your phone, do a puzzle, crank the tunes and dance, or do absolutely nothing if you have no energy or motivation, grab a book, watch a show, go for a drive, roll down the windows and crank up the radio, go visit a friend, a flower garden, a farmers market, just do something no matter how trivial it may seem.
and last, but definitely not least, JUST DONT SMOKE and you will feel and smell fabulous, I know I do.
Stacy, 90days, not one puff ever again, no matter what!!! xoxo
