2 weeks today and I feel great about it, but the eating is driving me crazy. Sometimes I get an urge to smoke so badly, but learned on the ffs website that all urges pass; that helps me a lot.

thanks for being there and listening, Kathy

Get busy get busy get busy!!! I try to keep things for my hands to do so that they cannot make it to my mouth as much as possible...like crossword puzzles, needlework, etc...I'm sure you could come up with something.

Either way, your quit is the most important and you're doing GREAT with that!!

Kathy, first off, good for you for making it through Hell and Heck weeks! the first two weeks are the toughest...and just knowing that can make things a lot easier Razz

Fortunately, I don't have a weight issue...but my second and third weeks quit I just had uncontrolled eating...anything that didn't move....and especially salty and crunchy things. Pretzel rods just disappeared by the bagful. But, at about the 4th week, this just suddenly ended...the nonstop eating.

As Lynn said,....try to keep your hands occupied. Or, just eat, and hope it's a temporary thing. Or just eat...and.......well, at least it's not smoking. worry about one thing at a time, and that should be your quit.

I hope you have a little reward picked out for yourself to celebrate your 2 week triumph!

Week 3 should be called "Stuff yourself week". Apparently a lot of us went through the eating everything that didn't move phase. I also do not have a weight issue, but I actually worried about my weight for the first time in over 10 during those two weeks. I guess if I had to choose between being a smoker and being too heavy, I would keep eating those salty chips.
