well, saturday was my last cigarette (hopefully) so naturally, i'm gagging for food ALL THE LIVE-LONG DAY, and it's really getting on my nerves. i tried having fruit gums to suck but that just made me actually hungry. later i will be trying werther's originals, to see if that works...but seeing as the vender doesnt do them, i'm testing my willpower with Walker's Max Paprika (best crisps ever, dont even argue, n00b)

they are currently sat in front of me, and will be until 4pm when im allowed to eat them. dont ask why, just thought it'd be interesting to see if i can do it.

all you successful quitters, is there a decent way to curb your appetite? i've heard chewing gum is supposed to work, but that always makes me hungry!! i definitely dont want to be putting on weight from quitting (again)
 
oooh, good idea. i like the spearmint ones. problem is, i have a nasty habit of just eating them because they're there...and then i'll get a leaky bum!

shut it Kahn!!

edit: vv i've been drinking water all day and it doesnt help. just makes me feel all wobbly and full of water :(

Bargain Bucket to yourself, h'oh yes!

That'd kill anyone's appetite. Although I've kinda got used to binging on deep fried reformed chicken's anus now, so it doesn't do the job as well as it used to :(

Besides that i find Yop very filling. Glass or two of that and you're laughing.

Alternatively, don't fill yourself with crap all day long and actually snack on fruit/nuts etc if you're hungry, tuts!
 
I was really lucky when I gave up, I didn't get any cravings for fags or food.

I'd try water it's usually dehydration that makes us hungry anyway

Or apples (good replacement for coffee, might work for fags)

I'm no quitter (never started), but Polo mints do a good job at suppressing my appetite.

well they would when you eat a couple of truck loads of em :p

OT - anybody managed to put a whole pack of mini polos in your mouth and keep em there....?

I like raisins/sultanas. Decent to snack on through the day.

Packed with sugars though.

i doubt they're as sugary as fruit gums!! 2800Kcal in a bag!! :eek:

Meh - calorie counting. Too much of that and it's rice cake and mung bean salad, with cardboard shavings for flavour.

i dont count calories or anything, but morbid curiosity (read: boredom) led me to look, and that's like over a day's RDA...pretty extreme for some sweets, i thought.
