29 weeks!

5 Replies

29 weeks today. £1527 saved minus price of chocolate, cake and nuts! Can't do jeans up but actually think I look better with a bit more meat on me (or am I just kidding myself).

Looking back to Day 1, I could never envisage going 1 hour without a cig, let alone 1 week, then 1 month, then 6 months.

So, no, it hasn't been easy - nobody finds it easy - but, yes, it can be done.

I've been able to give to favourite charities and save some towards routine car and pet expenses, as well as treat myself.

Does it feel good - YES.

So, Stick With It is the motto!

For anyone who has managed to go even1 day - what an achievement, you should feel proud!

Hi Chickweed

It is a great achievement. Amazing. Sharing that is was not easy is great because when I first quit I wanted to know what I was in for but that it would get better. X
