I've gained some weight since I quit.  But the way I look at it, you can always lose weight.  You can't re-grow a jaw bone, you can't undo cancer and you can't come back to life (physically) from putting that cancer powder into your body.  Stay quit!
does the weight gain start to level off at some point i have gained alot in 8 days myself at the rate im going ill be big as a house by nov.
It is not going to just fall off. Here is a tip I got early on from Hydro. Get up off the couch and walk. Start at a small 30 minute walk and work your way up from there.

Many quitters have become avid exercisers. I myself work out 5-6 days a week. Some guys do marathons etc. The point is you cannot wish the weight off you have to get up and burn it off.

You are a bad ass quitter... if you can quit dipping then exercise should be easy in comparison....

yes, I need to make healthier eating choices too. put on 7 lbs already in the past 4 days. not a great feeling, but better than chewing for sure! I'll have to use the money I'm saving from not chewing to buy a home gym!

Excellent. You are going to be my new quit hero...just do not fuck up. I will be very disappointed.

As a father, let me impart some motivation on you: You saw your son dump your dip into the toilet. Well, next time you want a dip - or consider caving and having one - think about taking a steaming dump ON YOUR SON. Because in effect, that's what you'll be doing. You will be shitting on him and the rest of your family. And that's not the kind of man you are, is it?

you are keeping your word to your kid
Exactly. I quit on my daughter's birthday. I wouldn't take away a new toy after giving it to her. I sure as hell wasn't going to take this away from her. I promised her I was going to quit for her birthday and damnit I did that. Then I quit the next day. And the next. And the next............

Dean could not be more correct. That picture should go with you to the grave--quit free, old and with your jaws intact. You sir, are off the a great start. You pm me or any other quitter on here if you want a number or need help.

Let me add this. For me, this time of year was a hard to time to quit for two reasons:

1. Deer Season

2. Football Season


There are hundreds of triggers. Before you pull one of them, come in and here and pm someone, text someone, call someone, go into chat. Heck, run around the neighborhood in your drawers. Just don't give in. This will be the best thing you've ever done. I promise. Heck, everyone of these hardcore quitters will promise you the same thing. There is life after nicotine.

now you have a mental image to focus on when the cravings start. Use that as your middle finger to the nic bitch when she comes around.

Welcome to the Quit. Post up in December and stay clean one day at a time.
THAT right there is some major, big giant balled quittin, right there. :wub:

Every damn noob on this site should read what dawnpatrol just did. "Son...here's my dip, please flush it for me. I'm done."

Way to nut up! Making your kids a part of the foundation of your quit team produces massive commitment on your part, and strengthens your web of accountability like nothing else can.

Deeply, deeply impressed, I am.
BUT - you quit for you. Not your kid. You quit because you want to be there to see your kid grow up. Now post up everyday, keep your word to us. Remember that everytime you post up, you are keeping your word to your kid also. One day at a time, post, keep it, repeat.

Welcome to the quit.
Good stuff !! The NIC bitch WILL come whispering in your ear, I will promise you that. I can also promise you if you get your mind right and use the tools on this site you will beat this addiction.

Welcome to the party.
