Geri it gets better, hang in there. About the sucking....get a straw, cut it to about cig size and suck deeply on it and blow out just like you use to do a cig...it helps. The eating....whew, I came in here screaming one day cause of that...recognize it for what it is....trying to fill that empty feeling. Ask yourself....if instead of putting this in my mouth (what ever the food is) if instead I could have one puff of cig, which would satisfy me most....you will find it is the cig you are missing and not food you need. Again it is the beast and that empty feeling you must deal with. I know, I am dealing with it also, daily. Not being too hard on my self tho cause I know it is better that I get this quit down and in time I will get the food under control. I just try to recognize it for what it is....a substitution! Hang in there! Great job Nick! Remember Jabba the Hut from Star Wars.....that is what my beast looks like...lol

LOL Boberg! Mine was a big swollen tapeworm/snake thing all curled up with a blunt head that would bump up against my insides trying to remind me to light one.... just one The image of it shrivelling more and more each day made me smile until it was no more than a wisp of dessicated skin... Seven years and it's ding dong dead!

Pamy what kind of diet pill did you get? I haven't gotten mine yet but I'm at the end of my rope with the weight gain issue. I've started exercising and have been limiting calories, but am still gaining weight. It's very frustrating.

GAL, they say cutting calories can create weight gain if you're not getting enough fuel. Switching to mostly raw whole foods and filling up on those works best. I know this is the wrong thread for this but I saw an article in WW mag this week that said an apple 15 minutes before each meal showed a greater weight loss response than two of the test pills they menioned Alli and I can't remember the other one....meridia? I think.

You can't bite them Pamy or chew? I cut mine up quite often because it's less messy...maybe that would work.

Thanks Bo for the advice on the food. It has worked pretty well today. Pamy, menopausal weight gain is tough. I won't tell you how I lost the weight last time cuz if I hadn't used that method, I wouldn't be here now. have you tried an easy exercise program like curves? it has worked for a lot of women. I am sure there is one near you. think low fat yogurt for a snack, healthy and not too fattening. we'll get you through the weight along with the smoking.

Add me to the need to lose weight while I am not smoking club. Talk about a double whammy!! I knew I was looking thicker but when I mentioned it to my husband, he said he was getting concerned about my weight gain--oy!! I need to lose about 20-25, but at the rate I am going it may be 30 while I conquer the SB (smoking beast) Well, if we can conquer one, we can conquer the other. We know how strong we really are. Have a great day everyone 15 days and counting......

Passing it on Pamy, great job! Hey when is Slothkitten gonna be back....how long is that vacation anyway? LOL Lots of crap been going on here lately...water line broke in our wall and we woke up to a flooded house (well all the bedrooms and the baths)...so we have been dealing with that and living out of a hotel for four days, been back in the house for 2 days now. Spent one night in the ER and been to doctor every day last two days for tests with more to follow in a week or two. Feeling better now and hope to get answers to the reason I have had some serious GI problems the last two weeks. Water in house is gone and we will be looking for a good contractor for repairs and picking out new carpet. My life is calming back down now! Yea! And guess what...I don't need to quit smoking again...cause all through this, even tho I thought about it...I never lit up! YIPPEE! FOR ALL US HAPPY NON SMOKERS!
