Author leighmc Posted October 25, 2005 Author Share Posted October 25, 2005 My cravings vanished after a week which was weird. QUOTE] That's about when my cravings ended also. Sometimes I miss it just out of habit but the real intense cravings seem to be gone. I think the worst part is over! Link to post Share on other sites

Author leighmc Posted October 25, 2005 Author Share Posted October 25, 2005 4.00 a pack where do u get them lol there 10 bucks for a pack here in canada If I was to pay 10.00 for a pack of smokes, it better have more than just tobacco in it!!! The first few days is more mind power than anything. I lived on gum and sugar free candy. Every time I wanted to smoke I would tell myself I don't need that crap and then put a piece of gum or candy in my mouth. It got me through the hard part, and now i'm on day 10!

Author leighmc Posted October 25, 2005 Author Share Posted October 25, 2005 Hey Leigh, here in the land of OZ packs of ciggies are 10bucks. Ive been mungin non stop all night on a block of chocolate. Im comin up to 4 weeks on friday. I thought 4.00 was bad!! I have noticied that I'm eating alot more also. I've already gained 3 pounds since I quit. I figure I will kick the smoking habit first and then lose the weight I gained from it later. Great job on almost 4 weeks! Keep it up!!! Link to post Share on other sites

AndrewJ Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 Konfused well done! Is your weight gain due to excess ciggies? Thats what 12 kilos in a year. Thats a kilo a month. I noticed weight gain at the start of quiting, however i saw myself feeding excess amount of sweets down my throat to compensate ,so ive held back. I can safely say now im free of ciggaretes, day 50 coming up soon. Link to post Share on other sites
Author leighmc Posted November 19, 2005 Author Share Posted November 19, 2005 great job Andrew and konfused. 34 days smoke free 675 cigs not smoked $132 saved 9 pounds gained. I do not have any cravings anymore and hardly think about cigs but i'm still noticing that I am eating ALOT more. When I smoked I would lite a cig when I was bored, not I eat. I've been trying to diet but it's just not working. I'm probably going to end up fat but atleast I'll be smoke free. I don't know which is worse to smoke or be fat though!

Author leighmc Posted November 19, 2005 Author Share Posted November 19, 2005 Hey leighmc wll done!!!! im 54 days no smokes. No cravings at all. I watch people smoke now and think to myself " how can u do that" Thank you! I think the same thing when I see people smoking. When people come in from a smoke break at work and all I smell is cigarettes, I think that is so disgusting and I can't belive I used to smell like that. My boyfriend tells me I really did smell like nasty cigarettes all the time and it is embarrasing to know that I used to walk around smelling like that. Link to post Share on other sites
