Anyone never a weight gain when quit??????????

Bobbi I am close to one month into my quit and have not gained weight thus far. During a previous quit I gained 20 pounds and that was one of the reasons I started again. This time around I am exercising nearly every day and watching what I eat. I haven't lost but haven't gained and I consider that a victory. Best if luck to you!

How to beat a craving, with a twist...please add to this list

Pat, Thank you for sharing, these are great!! I'm getting to the point where I am trying to use my extra time (that I used to use smoking) for productive tasks. I was cleaning the bathroom before work today and my husband asked if we were having company, I just laughed and imagined myself in my former life sitting in the cold garage getting my three smokes in before I left. I will definitely use some of your suggestions! Have a great day! :) Dupe [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 3/11/2007 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 30 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 463 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $96 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 2 [B]Hrs:[/B] 18 [B]Mins:[/B] 50 [B]Seconds:[/B] 24

Advice regarding the patch!

Mavawsc, Everyone is different, I started with the 14mg patch,used it for 8 or 9 days and then stopped without any significant withdrawal symptoms. I started taking it off earlier and earlier each day before I stopped altogether. The most important thing is to protect your quit, if you use the patch for the entire time directed you are still NOT smoking! Best of luck to you, keep us posted.
