Hello, the first time I quit ( I know, that's a dumb thing to say, although it did last one year.. .anyhow) smoking I was eating alog. When I say alot, I really mean it. I was putting down, on AVERAGE, 1/2 a cake a day on top of the normal amount of food. I'm talking about chocolate torts, black forest, cheesecake, etc... , not the light ones... hehe. (note to self: buy cake on way home after work). I honestly attribute this, in part, to my "success". However, this time when I quit, I've decided to avoid that attrocious eating. For my last and final quit, I now I snack on almonds, peanuts, cashews, carrots, celery, graham crackers.... on other healthier items. Yesterday, at the grocery store, I bought a bag of chocolate chip cookies, but only had 5 or 6 (okay, maybe 10) when I got home. The point is, you can eat healthier but still allow yourself some indulgence when the nicotene cravings become too severe. I also allow myself to eat crappy on Saturdays and do my best on other days of the week. I also go to the gym at least 3 times a week. Enjoy your food, but know that you can be healthy while still eating that junk food when you "need", or deserve, it.
