I still dislike this holiday and usually I spend it locked up in my house with the curtains drawn and eating ice cream while watching a ****ty made for tv movie but this year I made a new gal pal and its her birthday and she's having a party at a bar downtown so I'm getting drunk. :drinker:

I've never liked valentines day. Even when I was married, but it really got ruined for me when my exhusband brought me home WHITE roses (that where dying no less) (also I ****ing hate roses and he knows that) and then left me two weeks later.

I am going to have to quit smoking cold turkey as I have no money to purchase them anyway but so far I've been adapting pretty well to counting the calories and thinking before I put something in my mouth.…

@Lauren3101 Thats amazing you gave it up! Congrats :) I hope I'm as successful as you

Thanks for the replies and advice so far! Really good ideas in there, maybe I can replace a craving for a cigarette with a cup of veggies or something instead. I thought about trying Yoga I hear its relaxing.

I do also like to smoke when I drink but since I've started my weight loss journey I've cut back dramatically on alcohol and only allow myself a glass of…

Thanks for the reply! Good advice :)
