I know how hard dealing with an addiction can be. You’re toughing it out by not smoking. Good for you!! I think the Scarlett idea is wonderful. I bet she’s grateful for your loving care

Awwww, I like the doggie backpack. I haven’t been visiting blogs for quite some time and am AMAZED at the difference in how you look. Remember, you can do anything you want with a marshmallow and not gain weight as long as you don’t eat it. You can dip it in paint and use to stamp a design on wallpaper. You can melt them and use them to glue pebbles together. You can place them on your eyelids to keep out the light when you are taking a nap. You just can’t eat the friggin things. Good on you for taking steps to give up the poison sticks. Your clothes will smell soooo much better if you persevere. I say this as an ex-smoker.

Nola, the added benefit of carrying her as well is that is extra weight to push around. You look marvelous. You should be so proud of the addiction kick. My sister-in-law used the same drug and has had success as well. Good for you. I know you will feel better and better. We have decided to take our dog on vacation with us in the car. Have to love her to do that as well. Take care.

Champix are the bomb! I have never been a smoker, however hubby was a pack a day. He started taking champix 12 months ago and has easily kicked the habit.

Do we need to start calling you Paris Hilton???? I would do the same for my dogs!

Look at you!!! And toting Ms. Scarlett around like a little queen to boot. That’ll give you a bit more of a workout. I am so proud of you, despite the marshmallows.

When I quit smoking Champix wasn’t even invented yet. I went to a hypnotist and she performed the miracle of helping me to quit after 40 years of smoking. I would have a dream about smoking and I’d think in the dream… I can’t do that! And I’d wake up remembering the dream and the panic I felt about smoking again. It was so funny. I won’t sit here and say I don’t think about smoking anymore. I do occasionally have a bad day and maybe see some one smoking in a car next to me and I want to get out, smack ‘em around and take their smoke… but I don’t. I just take a deep breath like I’m inhaling and the urge passes. I used to joke that I had such an oral fixation if I ever quit smoking I’d have to carry a pacifier around or suck my thumb during my breaks.

You keep up the good work, my friend… except maybe for the marshmallows.

Congratulations on quitting smoking, Nola! I’m so happy for you and I wish you and your man the best of luck. I can only imagine how hard it must be (based on my addiction to food, not cigarettes), so I’m glad you have some assistance.

I love the doggie carrier, too! And I love burning the extra calories when you have to carry the dog in said carrier. I’ve taken my nephew on small hikes when they were younger, but we’d go so slow that I basically burned almost no calories. Certainly didn’t get my heart rate up… that is, until he pooped out and I had to put him on my shoulders for the rest of the walk back to the car. THEN I got my exercise!

Hahaha, I love “Princess Scarlett Dickyknee Fart-ima Maxwell.”

Been there and come through the other side of the smoking disaster – stay strong – and if you eat a few mallows, what the fark. Smoking will probably kill you faster than the few kilos you’ve got hanging around.
You’re doing well

Well thankfully I don’t smoke so don’t have the added pressure of giving something else up, but I do sypathize with you and hope you both kick the habit.

Love your little invention for Scarlett, she look like “The Queen of the May” in her carry all!!!

Our friends have just given up (well about 4 months ago) on some type of drug as well, wonder if it’s the same!

Great work – and well done you! Could be why you are have the nibbles – but you will get that sorted again:-)

Love the back pack!
