The only downside i can possibly find is the extra stone i have put on, but i can always lose weight (which i plan on doing)!
The benefits at this stage:
Number 1 (and the most important) would be the fact that i am proud of myself for being able to do it. It hasnt always easy, and i am sure i will still get hard days, but i am now confident that i can get through it.
I dont smell
I dont have a smokers cough
I can taste things- really taste things- am eating foods that i didnt even think i liked!
My kids are proud of me
My kids clothes no longer smell of smoke
95% of the time i dont even think about smoking
I have saved money (although i dont know how much, as i am yet to open my smoking savings jar- am doing that on Aug 9th of this yr)
I LOVE being a non-smoker!!
To all the newbies- please ride out the tough times, its so worth it!
To all the oldies (hehehehe :p)- thanks for your help along the way!
I cant believe that the next time i move up a section, i will be going into the penthouse!!:eek:

That's ruddy fab news Claire, seems like it's flown by since you first joined the forums - ruddy well done again, so pleased for you, you've done good.
Have absolutely no doubt you'll be in the penthouse.
Well done Claire, I remember when you first joined..seeing your posts cropping up all over the show!! Can't believe you have done 6 months - keep up the good work xxx
Congrats Claire, that's amazing! Sorry I missed this a few days ago, like you said, I don't even think about smoking half the time so am not on the site as much as I used to be.
Getting my eating habit under control is my next step too, haven't reached 6 months yet but save me a space, I'll be there in about 6 weeks!
