Guess what! I did it!!

Great Job!

$71 for 2 weeks! It's easy to start spending that money on normal budget stuff. But if I were you, I'd keep track of your normal cig money and put it in a savings account or piggy bank. In 84 weeks (which is about a year and a half) you would have saved $3000, and you could do a nice WDW trip for $3000.

Thanks Hope! you also have to remember DH quit in December here is his tally and the highlighted section is a real EYE opener

DH stopped smoking on Thu, 13 Dec 2007
It has been 21 weeks, 4 days, 20 hours, 33 minutes and 23 seconds since he quit.
He have saved $835.21 by choosing not to smoke 3037 cigarettes.
More importantly, I saved 3 weeks, 2 days 4 hours 48 minutes of my life!

So together we have saved $942.19

oh Pirates! I want a cigarette so bad right now.. I am doing everything in my power to fight the urge.. oih so if anyone has any spare pixie dust or happy thoughts anything I could use it right now. I know I can do it and I've got my penny in my pocket. Nothing is helping right now.

 

[PrincessNancy96]

Pixie dust headed your way!! Stay strong!! Stay strong!!! You can do this....

 

[Dreamer & Wisher]

Lots of Pixie Dust for you.
Try to think of positive things like Disney and the

You can do it!

Can you go for a quick walk? Get some fresh air? Use your healthier lungs? Chew some gum? Get something out of a vending machine (or your pantry depending where you are?) You can do it!

 

[BernardandMissBianca]

go grab a scrap page, write about your cravings and why you are quitting. Write yours and DH's tallies, your goals for the money. Take a walk, just keep busy it will pass!!!!

 

[BernardandMissBianca]

LOL Look at the triple threat!!! HEHE we all posted at the same time!

Are you stressing about something else?

Grab the phone book and hit yourself over the head everytime you think about a craving. Pretty soon you'll knock yourself out and woohoo no more craving.

Seriously, we do need to find you another outlet that is not food related. That is the second reason ex-smokers gain weight. Their metabolism changes and they start to snack instead.

Is there someone you can call? Like they do for Jenny Craig.

Right now I'm at work,. I've tried the gum, went outside and got some air, it's starting to go away. I just haven't had an urge this strong in awhile. I'm not stressing anymore than I normally do at work. Thanks ladies for being with me in my moment of pure panic. the lady who sits behind me said I'm going to go smoke and I asked her to not say it outloud. I'm trying not to do the whole eating every time I want to smoke I don't need any more weight. I want to lose what I have but One thing at a time.

It does help to "talk" to you all because I know you understand plus 2 of the ladies I work with are so encouraging but hearing you all makes me feel alot better than them. Thanks! I know I can do this

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

As we munch popcorn together.

Actually, that is a pretty good snack. If you concentrate on only eating one piece at a time, it'll take forever to finish.
