weight gain and nicotine not adding up

[thetoothfairy]

I forgot to add that I never had to worry about weight a day in my life before I quit smoking!

And its been 18 months without a cig....

I have been off cigarettes for 18 months now. All I got to say is I rather be smoking then to have this weight on and the other things I feel now. I have talked to many others that quit and feel the same way as I do now.

I get so depressed because of the weight gain. By the way I weight 147 but used to weigh 121. I want to go to starve myself but I can not because my stomach hurts. When I eat I get depressed! I don't even want to look at myself because I can't stand how I look now. I am totally disgusted with this all.....

Quitting smoking is good for one but I am not happy with the results.

I am reading around on this forum and thinking of buying some of these ecigs.... At this time I am wondering what kind to buy and if I should get them with a little nicotine in them or none.

What kind is best for a newbie to buy?

toothfairy -- I'm sorry, I'm afraid I assumed you had switched to vaping! (Ignore my comment about smokeless tobacco for the moment -- it's really intended for those who find vaping isn't enough for their mood/mental state, which is a small minority.)

If you are considering going back to smoking, I urge you to give e-cigarettes a try. The nicotine and the act of "smoking" will help you a lot in improving mood and avoiding weight gain.
(At least, I know there was no way I could give up cigarettes for long without this alternative!)

I really suggest you read The Wonderful World of Vaping, and read up as much as you can stand. Many people on the New Members Forum have asked similar questions and gotten good answers -- without knowing your particular needs it's hard to say which kit to start with.
Of course, if you have questions of your own, feel free to ask them -- this is a really helpful community. There's a learning curve with e-cigs that we all went through, but I think you'll find it's a really satisfying way to go.

I will never smoke a real cigarette ever again as I would never do that to myself again even though I feel like this... but when I quit these e-cigs were not out or I would be vaping on one thats for sure.... so since I feel like this and I am so depressed at the weight gain I figured that I might as well try these e-cigs out....

I went to the link you gave me... (thank you) and wanted to see pictures of all of the different kinds but the link did not work in the photo section.
