Get comfortable, cause this is going to be long.
This is one of those threads where swim is going to plan her exit from these two particularly annoying addictions.
In recent weeks, swim has noticed she lacks self control when it comes to eating. Swims theory is that she is associating the serotonin boost associated with eating, with hunger. She has been overeating to the point of complete bloatedness and discomfort, yet still she feels "hungry". This is not dehydration related at this present time, as she is keeping her fluids up.
Swim is wondering if this is her somewhat seasonal depression rearing its ugly head, however so many good things have happened to swim lately, that she simply does not "feel" depressed. She is sure the chemical imbalance is present. She is not on any anti depressants and would like to avoid them.
Swim is smoking a packet a day (25 cigarettes).
This habit needs to be knocked on the head for obvious reasons, so she will get back to the food issue.
Her plan of action began this morning. She has bought two weeks worth of meal replacement drinks and soups, for morning and lunch. She is going to increase her water intake, and start walking for 30 minutes a day. At this point swim has 4-5 kgs she would like to lose, and she wants to lose it NOW before this situation gets out of hand!
The point of this thread in particular, is to get swim off her arse to exercise everyday. She is lazy as it gets. Once this thread has been posted, she is going to go for walk #1. So far today she has stuck to the diet regime, which has been a meal replacement drink for breakfast, an orange for morning tea, a meal replacement soup for lunch with 2 cups of steamed vegies. So far so good.
Ok, so quitting smoking is going to result in perhaps adding 5kg again, so she intends to lose this 5kg before she quits smoking, then do the diet regime all over again whilst she quits. She will go onto the champix again to help her to quit smoking in october, when it becomes available for her yearly government funded script. (only one script per year is allowed).
Last time swim was on champix she was temporarily insane. So this time round, she intends to get all her nourishment, exercise, and try to cope through it without ending up on the anti depressants like she did last time.
Right... this is swims plan. She intends to stick to it, and will come back for daily rants/updates, and hopefully finish up with a success story on quitting these two annoying addictions that are currently affecting her life.
