the hole


18 years ago 0 26 logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo 0
well since i have quit smoking, of course i have gained some weight, so the first of the year i went on a diet, and started going to the gym. Yesterday, i was hungry, and i wanted a cig. I finally realized that i have a hole, and i want to fill it with something. I have never had to deal with this before, because when i was on a diet before, when i got hungry i would just have a cig to fill it up. Now i dont have that so i have to deal with my feelings. And then another funny thing, when i was leaving the gym this morning, there were two woment standing out front and one of them was smoking. I thought that was kind of strange, but of course when i would get done working out, i would just wait until i got into my car to light up. I am so glad im not doing that anymore!

Hey Doodle....I know all about the void. It's almost like losing a best friend. You will find things to fill your void with. I have filled mine with life and all kinds of experiences I didn't have before I quit. Take a walk and really take in your surroundings. The world looks so much different as a non-smoker. Enjoy all the things you missed out on as a smoker. Congratulations on 56 days quit. You are doing awesome. :) [B]My Milage:[/B] [B]My Quit Date: [/B] 7/1/2005 [B]Smoke-Free Days:[/B] 199 [B]Cigarettes Not Smoked:[/B] 3,995 [B]Amount Saved:[/B] $696.5 [B]Life Gained:[/B] [B]Days:[/B] 17 [B]Hrs:[/B] 14 [B]Mins:[/B] 30 [B]Seconds:[/B] 19

hey doodle, come join us in the smoking cessation and weight gain thread, we have a whole bunch of us dieting and helping one another. Itsa titled the daily diet watch III. We help each other and give encouragement when we are having trouble sticking to the diet. It may help fill the hole your trying to fill too. Try some walking, thats really good or biking they all help in the weight loss.
