OK,

I'm starting to get into the losing weight program.

my food scale should be here today or tomorrow. it goes from 1/2 gram to 16lbs for when i want that BIG PIECE OF MEAT.

i bought something really cool today. i won't name it but it handles keeping track of how many calories you are burning through movement. with my lack of being able to exercise normally due to my severed foot and umbilical hernia, it's probably my only way to track it.

its about the size of a volkswagon bluetooth. you put it in your pocket, any pocket. or on your belt. It has a wrist sleeve to tuck it in when you are sleeping to track how much sleep you are actually getting

it has 3D tracking capabilities and it can tell if you are climbing a step or any motion whatsoever.

when you get within 15 feet of the base/charging station, it wifi's your info to the website and incorporates your exercise with your diet plan and keeps everything charted and orderly.

IS THAT COOL OR WHAT?

it's just under $100. if anyone wants to know the name of it, let me know

Hello, My name is Dale. I was quit 18 months before joining this site and had participated on another site during that time. I learned a lot there and brought it with me. I joined this site the first week of August 2008. I didn't pressure myself to quit. HOW I QUIT I didn't count, I didn't deny myself to get started. When I considered quitting (at a friends request to influence his brother to quit), I simply told myself to wait a little longer. No denial, nothing painful. After 4 weeks I was down to 5 cigarettes from a pack a day. The strength came from proving to myself, I didn't need to smoke because I normally would have smoked. Simple yes? I bought the patch. I forgot to put one on on the 4th day. I needed it the next day but the following week I forgot two days in a row I put one in my wallet with a promise to myself that I would slap it on and wait an hour rather than smoke. It rode in my wallet my first year.There's nothing keeping any of you from doing this. It doesn't cost a dime. This is about unlearning something you've done for a long time. The nicotine isn't the hard part. Disconnecting from the psychological pull, the memories and connected emotions is. :-) Time is the healer.
