I haven't been on to check since I posted a week ago. WOW Desert your doing great, and to see Hawk and the others getting on board. CONGRATULATIONS to all of you!
I am on day 85
And WOULD have smoked 1,708.51 cigs. YUK!
Oh And I have also saved $580.00!!!!!!!
A little update on me. When I decided to quit on Aug 1st I also went on a healthy eating diet AND quit all caffine (Im a BIG coffee drinker).
Everyone said I was out of my mind, but I figured if I am going to do this, I am going all out! I quit the coffee in fear of it being a trigger to go back to smoking. The dieting was a result of being afraid I would pack on the lbs!
When I quit I was 187, I am not 173 and holding.
I would not even call it a diet it is more like instead of Oreos for a snack I have switched to fruit, and ALL I drink is water now (maybe juice here and there). Well to update on that I JUST started having a coffee here and there in the mornings. Can I say I felt guilty even getting the coffee!! LOL But after a few sips and keeping my mind off of smoking, Though I MISS coffee and smokes, I don't NEED a smoke to have coffee!
I also have the mentality that I WILL NOT let some chemical or big corporation control my mind!!! (If I did I would be quite the hypocrite on GLP lol)!!
Well anyways GOOD LUCK and CONGRATS too ALL of you who have decided to challenge yourselves and your minds!! :)
OH and for the poster who said wheezing was an indicator to stop, I can assure you that 2 months into not smoking and my wheezing has STOPPED!
