&lt;p&gt;they reckon the first few days are the worst, so stick at it! love the thing which tells you how much lovely money you are saving too!!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;i stopped smoking when pregnant, but was a fattie after mini me was born, and made the disastrous (and i try to say hormone driven, but i think i was just vain&lt;img src="http://www.vetnurse.co.uk/emoticons/emotion-10.gif" alt="Embarrassed" /&gt;) decision to start again to try and stop me eating everything that wasn&amp;#39;t nailed down......&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;....... few years down the line, i &lt;b&gt;still&lt;/b&gt; smoke, and am even fatter &lt;img src="http://www.vetnurse.co.uk/emoticons/emotion-6.gif" alt="Sad" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;have started thinking about giving up, but want to get other stuff sorted before i give myself the added stress.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;but my apologies for blithering on, and YAY! GO YOU - THE NEW SMOKE FREE AND RICH YOU!!! &lt;img src="http://www.vetnurse.co.uk/emoticons/emotion-2.gif" alt="Big Smile" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: The STRVN support thread to stop smoking</title><link>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/5057?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Wed, 04 Feb 2009 20:05:06 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:0f9e9626-8073-4544-8f8c-bc74460f379b</guid><dc:creator>Sandra Taylor RVN, MBVNA</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;I also spent a small fortune on all kinds of&amp;nbsp; hard boiled sweets last night, &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have cough candy...I know, but I love it&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Rhubarb and custard&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;werthers&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Fruit candy&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;murry mints.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I promise not to crunch on them, as the last time I stopped smoking I had a dental bill of 200 quid for a broken tooth.So all money save d went to the dentist.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: The STRVN support thread to stop smoking</title><link>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/5056?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Wed, 04 Feb 2009 20:01:05 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:f9aa56af-74b9-4933-8f7f-d8467ccbc122</guid><dc:creator>Saskia Quinn</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;don&amp;#39;t you worry about that - it is well earned &lt;img src="http://www.vetnurse.co.uk/emoticons/emotion-2.gif" alt="Big Smile" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: The STRVN support thread to stop smoking</title><link>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/5055?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Wed, 04 Feb 2009 20:00:06 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:adf9f0a2-2497-46b0-8133-77286ba8d42a</guid><dc:creator>Sandra Taylor RVN, MBVNA</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;ATM I am stuffing my face with cherry pie and cream&lt;img src="http://www.vetnurse.co.uk/emoticons/emotion-2.gif" alt="Big Smile" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: The STRVN support thread to stop smoking</title><link>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/5050?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Wed, 04 Feb 2009 19:53:35 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:673548e0-4008-43c7-8a26-8513c4b005c2</guid><dc:creator>Saskia Quinn</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;14 hours as I write this - well done &lt;img src="http://www.vetnurse.co.uk/emoticons/emotion-21.gif" alt="Yes" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: The STRVN support thread to stop smoking</title><link>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/5048?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Wed, 04 Feb 2009 19:43:41 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:f695e80c-6994-4093-9e22-e6efabeda2e3</guid><dc:creator>Mrs Dot Dot</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Good Luck STRVN! &lt;img src="http://www.vetnurse.co.uk/emoticons/emotion-21.gif" alt="Yes" /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.vetnurse.co.uk/emoticons/emotion-4.gif" alt="Stick out tongue" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: The STRVN support thread to stop smoking</title><link>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/5047?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Wed, 04 Feb 2009 19:37:44 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:828d7068-1256-4a77-9c1f-a780839ee3d4</guid><dc:creator>Charlotte says smile</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.vetnurse.co.uk/emoticons/emotion-1.gif" alt="Smile" /&gt; good!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: The STRVN support thread to stop smoking</title><link>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/5042?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Wed, 04 Feb 2009 19:28:37 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:8df091f3-1cfb-4f8c-b2db-1ff3e2915d05</guid><dc:creator>Sandra Taylor RVN, MBVNA</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;[quote user=&amp;quot;Charlotte says smile&amp;quot;]
