Where’s Jenny_RR?

Haven't heard from Jenny is a while! Wonder how she's doing with her stopping smoking thing.

Ive noticed too that alot of the girls havent been around. I know Jenny is spending alot of time doing research on cosmetic surgery and the rest....I have no idea!

I'm here. I'm in the middle of a 7-day juice fast and I'm furiously making soap for export.

Any UK people know of a chain called Poshlife?

Hey girls,

I'm back! (I never stray too far.) As Sherrie mentioned, I've been researching other "enhancements," which is proving to be more work that I'd anticipated. Also, my haar's been working out quite well lately, so I won't be making any big changes, at least in the near term. Even the pinks and blues I wanted to install may have to wait, since I think I'm going to be looking for a new job in about a month or so. I hate job-hunting--especially when it interferes with my haar plans.

On the quitting smoking front, I crashed and burned. I got incredibly sick (like the worst flu of my life) less than 24 hours into quitting--not sure if it was nicotine overdose from the patch or something else (though I think the symptoms were way too severe for simple nicotine withdrawl)--but I was so sick that I was like, "This isn't working; I need a cigarette." It was a major disappointment. So now, I'm regrouping and planning to give it another go, this time without the patch, and wein myself down over the course of a month to a few cigarettes a day, then try again....

BTW, I'm the laziest person in the world with my hair now. I hardly ever wash it, and I haven't blown it out yet or even used any rollers this time. Will post an update soon, though.

Welcome back Jenny.I'm glad to hear your doing better after being sick. And good luck with quitting smoking.I was wondering about that juice fast myself.

Huh?

Bah, don't feel too bad, Jenny. Quitting is hard, and when you do it you really want it to be the only stressful thing in your life going on. I have a friend who tried to quit right after going through a breakup, and I was like, "What, are you stupid?" It would have done his health, both mental and physical, better to have taken the breakup and the quitting one at a time. So don't worry about it! Take time to get over the flu, get yourself in a good headspace and feeling well, and -then- tackle it again.

Every time I quit I get sick!!! I think it's your system punishing you for making it go thrugh withdrawl. The same thing happens if I start working out I have heard this from others, someone said it's all the toxins leaving your body! Keep trying ,I am going to again soon because I can't stand all the dirty looks you get from people I wish I had goten them when I was 13 maybe I wouldn't have startedGlad your back girl! Good luck with the job search!

Thanks girls. Tomorrow I starting cutting down, and hopefully in a month, I'll be smoke-free. I appreciate all of your support and advice! 

Jenny-

Just remember, if you fall off the horse, the best thing to do is get right back up. I know that is an incredibly cheesy analogy, but you get my drift. Don't get discouraged if you have one relapse (or two) just stick with it, it will be totally worth it in the end. BTW, Congratulations on making the decision to quit!
