One other thing I meant to mention that I haven't seen talked about very much around this web site (if at all?) is how much money you can save over your lifetime by having made this excellent change for yourself. Hey, who doesn't like money in their pockets. Of course, there's the obvious...the insane amount of money that cigarettes cost. Other things people might forget to consider that they might save money on:

- Medical costs. You'll get sick less often. Less trips to the doctor, less OTC & prescription meds, less time missed from work, reduced risk of life-threatening illnesses associated with smoking.

- And speaking of work, you'll have more energy, probably be in a better mood and show more confidence ... all of which could increase your income potential.

- Life insurance premiums. I know, you're still just a young'n ... LOL ... but if you haven't made that jump yet, trust me, that'll save you tons too. Healthy weight and being a non-smoker normally qualifies someone for "Preferred Rates". We're talking at least hundreds of dollars saved annually.

Now -- what to spend all this "new-found" money on! :bigsmile: Since the money saved on smokes is immediate, that could go towards new running shoes when you wear your current ones out, a personal trainer, gym membership, new clothes for your new body....

You are SOOO right! Even with a gym membership of $30 a month, I'm still saving like $130 a month because I'm not smoking. The possibilities are ENDLESS when I do the work. Only I can change me. You are so awesome! I loved every word you said, and it was all true. :bigsmile:

Thank you. I honestly think the no nicotine has made me not lose weight. I have been here for like 70 days or something like that, and 43 days without smoking. Sounds about right that I wouldn't lose any weight just yet. I'll be patient. you guys!
