Re: 18 days without smoking

18 days is brilliant, well done. When I first quit, I ate a lot more than normal and also increased my physical activity, I did anything rather than smoke a cigarette. My weight did increase,very slightly and I found it difficult to be happy about the increase but decided that I'd rather put on a few pounds than go back to smoking. I'm just over 3 months quit now and in the last few weeks I find that I turn to food less and less.
I also found that drinking a lot of water and chewing sugarfree gum helps alot.
Good luck with your quit you're doing great.

Re: 18 days without smoking

GREAT!!! GOOD FOR YOU BOTH AND YOU HAVE A LOT TO BE PROUD OF!!!

Not everyone but most people do gain a bit of weight in the beginning. Some it’s from eating and some it’s metabolism or both. Pageaday has the right attitude! It is better to put on a few pounds now then continue eating that poison. It will all come back off in time. Don’t allow that demon to let you to think of a negative excuse for going back. You are almost over the hump and you don’t want to fall back down again.

Good luck and keep us informed of your progress!

Sincerely

John

Re: 18 days without smoking

Thanks for the replies. ever since i quit i have been letting myself get "addicted" to doing other stuff in place of smoking. like I was eating something instead of smoking, drinking unhealthy amounts of red bull or coffee, whatever could replace my smoking addiction, which it did but all the caffiene and chocolate started making me sick to my stomach and i have gained a few pounds, so i have been cutting back and i am starting to feel really good, i am so glad i made the descion to quit smoking it was the best desicion i have ever made.

Re: 18 days without smoking

mcds03--

Congratulations--and you are right...it IS the best desision you ever made! Don't worry about a little weight, you'll be able to lose it later! I quit 22 months ago, and I did gain about 13 lbs, (also was dealing with hypothyroid problem at the same time though), but I've now lost 8 of those lbs. I used that excuse toooo many times before, and always ended up back on the cigs! Then hated myself for it!! What good is a perfect figure, if we have cancer, or some other horrible disease caused by smoking??
Good job girlfriend...keep it going!
