Today was a tough one. I had "one of those days" at work, and left pretty stressed. After work I drove to the gas station and parked by the door. Sat there for about 30 minutes, watching people go in and out, many packing a pack of smokes. I vaped the whole time killing off what was left in my 2 xls and cartos after a day of vaping. I really wanted to go in and just give up, but I didn't.
So I made it through the day. However, I am worried that my nic level isn't high enough. I remember seeing SD's test, and I don't get the nic hit after about 5 hits. However, I also have side benefits I dont want to loose from my chaining.
I have struggled with my weight since I was very young (one of the reasons I was worried about going to the proposed IL/IN vape meet). However since vaping, I have found that I just puff and puff in the evening and do not get my nasty junkfood cravings (really... none, that has NEVER happened to me). Also, and by not stopping at the gas station I no longer pick up bags of junk that I eat all night. Including my Greensmoke time off analogs (an experience that will never be mentioned again), I have lost about 15 pounds in the last month (1-2 belt notches). For most that would be huge, for me it's just a dent, but, its the first change in my weight in a long long time. What I worry about is that I might return to bordom eating. It's a catch 22. I made an attempt to try 2 different levels (higher in the day, lower at night) but honestly I just dont have the flexibility to work up my stock on a 2 level front right now from a money standpoint. I think I am also wondering if even at a higher level I will put actually put it down. That really worries me (I am not the brightest bulb in the pack when it comes to addictive behavior).
Anyway just rambling, but I wanted all of you to know that one thing that helped me drive away from the gas station was knowing that I would be making a post when I got home, especialy if I had bought those smokes. You all are awesome!
So for now, I think I will stick to 11mg. The 24 I tried almost made me choke out, and almost knocked me on my ..... So I guess I don't really have a question, or any great insight, just a need to type this evening I guess. Tomorrow is a new day!
