You all are awesome! Thanks so much for cheering me on! I’ve decided to do IF versus EF, having food and cig cravings is too hard. And I’m fine with just my one or two meals. Lol. I had scrambled eggs with cheese, bacon and an avocado, BPC, some pork rinds with hummus, and pistachios today, yesterday I had a bleu cheese burger, BPC, bacon, chia seeds with heavy cream and apple pie spice. I had something else too but I can’t remember. Hers a photo of from my quit smoking app

I love that app, Congrats on quitting smoking
What is EF? I think it means Extended Fasting but how exactly do you do it?1 -
I would think the extended fast is a fast longer than 24 hours. The 48 hour or 72 hour plus fasts would be extended fasts.1

Great job so far! Stay strong!!1

HI All! Still kicking butt on quitting smoking. Today was the easiest day yet, although I do still have cravings after eating. My meal today was semi-burnt but still tasty homemade grain free pancakes (made with coconut flour), eggs, and bacon. For dessert, homemade keto chocolate ice cream. YUMMMMMYYYY!! I forgot to weigh yesterday, sorry, my mind is all over the place throughout all this lol. @Brendalea69, yes, what Tracey said, and an extended fast can let as long or short as you like :-)
Thank you all so much for your continued support! It means so much and is also very helpful :-)

You are doing awesome!
Quitting smoking is hard as I remembered how my Dad decided to just go cold turkey one day after he came out from his yearly check-up. I know how hard it is. Keep up the good work in being smoke-free! OMG, I love ice-cream

Thanks @volgirl1322 and @jadepearl and the cravings are even less today, yay! I am breathing so much easier now. Even smells are more aromatic! Well, then there are things I’m smelling that is rather not as well. Anyway! Here’s to day four of no smoking!2

Really hoping I can make it until Saturday! I’d shoot for longer but there’s no way my mother in law will let me get out of Easter dinner. Lol.0

Unlimited water, unlimited tea, up to 6 cups of black coffee--no artificial flavors or sweeteners of any kind even if sugar free, though you can add your own lemon/lime or use spices like cinnamon and such. There are allowances if you absolutely can't stand it, like certain fats and homemade bone broth. :-)

I feel absolutely amazing! Between not smoking and having fasted for just over 48 hours now, I’m on top of the world! Donnie wants to know where his other wife is because this one is a bundle of energy! I told him my energy is coming from my own fat, it’s true!
Honestly, I cannot ever remember feeling so great in my adult life. I’m like a spitfire! And even though I am still “obese”, lemme tell you that when you feel amazing and it shows, it rubs off on others. It can’t but help make your outlook more positive!
Have a great day all!

Thank you for the welcome back Sandy Nice to see familiar faces. Congrats on stopping smoking, that is a huge accomplishment. You are cleaning all the cupboards out at once. If it gets overwhelming just do the easy things first. All I can handle is OMAD...everything is else temporary with me and throws me off so....it's simple OMAD for me here on out. Hope you have a great week going forward. 1

Hey guys, sorry! I had a rough mid week and on. My sleep has been horrible but should be getting help tomorrow or Wednesday. I didn’t end up doing another extended fast. My weight weight on Thursday-Sunday morning was a steady 208.4 pounds! I just ate my one meal and kept it low carb from Wednesday to Saturday. I indulged over Easter and did regain, but I’m not worried about it.
I caved Saturday evening and bought some cigs and smoked one... then threw the pack away. Yesterday I went to a vape shop and got some low nicotine fluid to fill my gadget with to help when I’m out of my mind again. I can’t do sweetened vaping though because (a) they make me crave food and (b) I was up throwing up Friday night because I vaped so much and the contents of my stomach weren’t happy. Lol. ***I went to the vape store on Friday because I was craving cigs so I got one with zero nicotine to take the edge off. It worked to kill the craving, at first, but then I craved both food and nicotine.
Still here and I’m very happy with my loss so far!0 -
OMG you did have a rough week......Hoping that the vape is working well for you. I am happy for your loss as well!!! You are one strong lady to tackle so much!!! Hugs 1

You're still doing amazing and great job trying to find alternatives to actually smoking. That's pretty cool that there are nicotine free options out there.
Quitting smoking is def not easy. Just stay strong and remember the cravings will go away with time. You are stronger than those cravings!1 -
You're still doing amazing bebe!!! You're tackling A LOT at once and I'm super proud 1
-
I'm very proud and happy that you threw the rest of the pack away
I'm glad you're still here too 1 -
Thanks so much you all. Still water fasting, my Easter indulgence gain is being stubborn. Lol1
