I am type A and unfortunately work from home at desk all day. I have worked this way for over 25 years. I have always had a hard time sitting in one place and fidget all the time. When I first started working from home I found myself eating all the time while I sat at the desk. I started gaining weight and even though I hated smokers I became a closet one myself to replace all the food I was consuming. The only person that ever saw me smoke was my wife and she was a smoker so no one ever suspected I smoked. I ended up smoking for 19 years before I quit. I had maintained my weight, but I could tell the cigarettes were affecting my heath. I quit smoking for 3 years and started putting on weight and I mean a lot of weight. I put on so much weight I almost started smoking again.

I then discovered e-cigs. I was skeptical at first, but I thought what do I have to lose. Well I found out a lot. I have been vapeing for about a 1 ½ years and I have lost over 100 lbs. Yes you read that right 100 lbs. I have a Levis jean jacket from high school that I ware every day now. I feel as healthy as I did in high school also. I started going to the gym everyday, and average 25 miles a day on an Espresso stationary bike.

I owe all this to E-cigs and vapeing. I know I would have never lost the weight without either starting smoking again or vapeing. I would have never been able to start exercising at the levels I am at now without losing the weight from vapeing. I just hope the government dose not take this life saving addiction away.

Welcome Tainted. ECF is a wonderful place to be. Congrats on your fantastic story. Health is all we have and e-cigs have had a great impact on mine. I had bronchitis in January and thought I was gonna cough myself to death...literally!! Hubby was tired of the coughing all the time, not to mention all the other bothersome effects on a non-smoker. He saw an e-cig on tv and I started researching on the computer. Long story short.... no more coughing and feeling better.
Keep up the excellent work taintedOptimist!!!!!!!!!!! :toast:
