I AM A NON-SMOKER

Congratulations on quitting! The biggest hurdle is over, I promise.

I quit almost 5 years ago after almost 20 years of smoking. I gained 33 lbs within 6 months (I was being a pig and eating everything, not everyone will gain nearly as much as I did). Then I spent almost 4 years complaining about how slow my metabolism was and saying that's why I couldn't lose weight. Then I started being very serious about watching my calories and working out and here I am a year later at the same weight I was when I quit smoking. Just 20 plus or minus to go and I will be in very good shape.

You can do this! One thing I came across is that my bathroom habits changed dramatically. I never realized how much nicotine helped things along, so to speak. That could be a reason you have gained some weight.

All of you are soooo encouraging! I just tried last week and failed. Didn't have much of a plan tho. Now I am making a plan and getting an e cig It's on back order so I wont get it for a couple of weeks but that gives me time to wrap my head around it. Thanks for sharing and I will come back and visit this chat often for reinforcement.
Peace! :flowerforyou:

my advice is you get a good drag and that helps. some ecigs are better than others. i liked the 501 (first had the 901 which wasn't so great). make sure your atomizer is good when it is getting old it stops working get a new one. if you have a good charge on your battery, a good atomizer and plenty of juice you get a good drag and it's satisfying. otherwise you give up. good luck! (try the diff flavors of the nic juice. i loved apple and tobacco).
