  6. @jillarunfortunately I did try those candies and the problem is that I will crunch through a piece of hard candy in about 10 seconds and I won't stop until the bag is gone or I get sick enough I have to take a nap...and then I'll finish the bag regardless of sugar content. Now you know how and why I gained 40 lbs in 3 months. But I am trying to treat the sugar craves the same as nicotine craves and ride them out. If things do get to the point of breaking I will sacrifice the diet before I sacrifice the quit.
  7. Day 3 of carnivore almost done. Somehow I have managed to not eat any of the leftover pecan pie for 3 days now. I haven't thrown it away yet because I'm afraid if I touch it I'll just end up shoving it down my throat. Maybe by tomorrow morning I'll have enough self control to get it out of the house through the side door instead of the toilet. That was gross. The scale showed me 195.0 this morning. I slept pretty good last night, I think I got about 6 and a half hours of sleep last night. That is a record for me since I quit smoking. 3 nights of six hour or better of sleep. Joints felt pretty good this morning. I could go down the stairs normally from the first step to the last right out of the bed. I'm also becoming aware of different things that have been going on that I've just never paid attention to before. So far in the short term the number of positives are outweighing the negatives, but the negatives are definitely a hell of a lot more intense. All the cravings were quite a bit more intense today but the bloating being so greatly diminished makes it worth it. I'm still not sure if drinking the water with either lemon/lime juice or apple cider vinegar is helping but doing it beats suffering and doing nothing. We shall see how this plays out but I did not smoke today so whatever else happened it was a success.

  18. Day 2 with virtually no carbs is almost over and thank the good Lord I've made it thus far. While today wasn't horrible as far as cravings go it was a bit more intense than yesterday. I tried the apple cider vinegar diluted in water to ease the sugar cravings but I can't tell if it actually helped or if doing just any old thing would have gotten me the same result. The headache is starting to kick in so tomorrow will probably be much worse than today but the lack of bloating should be enough to keep me on track. The cigarette cravings I had today were quite intense as well but didn't last that long. I think I spent less than 2 hours total in a nicotine fit and it was mixed in with the sugar crave which kept me pretty confused on what I really wanted. Shockingly it made it that much easier to just do nothing and avoid it all. On the positive side, in addition to the bloating being vastly improved I actually slept pretty well. I'm guessing I got almost 6 hours of sleep and my joints were also much looser this morning. I was able to walk normally down the stairs after about the 4th step. The neuromas in my feet didn't bother me at all today which was a slice of heaven in itself. If you've never had to deal with a neuroma, imagine taking a step and as soon as the ball of your foot gets a certain amount of pressure it feels like a fish hook is getting ripped out through the end of your middle toe. Lucky me I've got that in both feet. I noticed the last time I went carb free that stopped happening and only started again the day before christmas. Lets see...oh yeah, stepped on the scale this morning. 194.6. One day and almost 5lbs gone. I don't know if I trust that but whatever, i'll take it as a win and keep going. I'm becoming more and more convinced sugar is poison. I know this is a stop smoking board but I'm quitting smoking to get healthy and don't see the use of quitting one poison if I'm going to keep using another. In a couple of more days I'm hoping I can start the breathing exercises again. I found it's damn near impossible to do deep breathing when your are bloated. I should be kicking myself in the ass for using christmas as the excuse to get off the no carb train. It wasn't like I didn't know what to expect but i guess i had to be the little fat kid that touches the hot stove...twice...anyway, if things go like they did before I should be over the worst of it in about 10 more days. In the meantime, 2021 quitters UNITE!!! Form of a...a...shit, i got nothin'.
  19. @Kris when you pull it up online to listen to it, just highlight the url, then right click it. then click copy. then come over here and right click in the box where you type messages and then click paste. it will automatically embed for you and then click submit. then your done. let me know if that makes sense. I've not done any tech support since the early 2000's. LOL
  20. ok...got through the first day of no carbs and I have to say it always amazes me how fast the body starts to respond. It's only been about 25 hours since my last mouthful of whatever crap food I ate was and already the cigarette cravings have diminished to barely noticeable and the bloating while not completely gone is tons better. I have survived day 1. Day 2 will be about the same as today but day 3 is when the sugar cravings will kick into overdrive. through my research I have found that a trick to use on sugar cravings is to drink a tablespoon or 2 of apple cider vinegar diluted in water every time the cravings start. I'll let y'all know how that works out. The bad news is that I slept for about 10 hours last night which means I most likely won't be able to sleep tonight. It usually works out that I can sleep good about 2 nights out of the week. I tried the gummies and while they didn't put me to sleep i did enjoy the hell out of being awake.
  21. @Kris this the right one?
  22. do you prefer ground hog or ground beef?
