Grr.
So it's been over a week since I quit smoking. I've had a couple of cloves on two occasions, though. Going out and drinking makes it hard, but I'm fine the next day so I'm not too worried about it.
I am, however, having a problem with weight, food, and physical discontentment. I'm hoping the weight is just bloat from my period being due, but it's been a few days and nothing has happened. I am eating more, but I'm also exercising more. Not only am I now lacking an appetite suppressant (nicotine) but I have this itching feeling of being physically unsatisfied and discontent, which makes me want to eat because that's the only thing I can think of that would be immediately gratifying, besides smoking.
It was easier in the beginning because anytime I got a clear craving for a cigarette all I had to do was think about the unpleasantries of actually smoking one, or continuing the abuse on my mouth, lungs, and stamina. Now the craving is unclear.. I'm just craving something and I don't know how to mentally overcome it.
