Testing my will power

[Sic]

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

ooh ooh...cashews....i can snack on cashews? because they're the best

Brannigan's Roast Beef and Mustard.

I'm not arguing.

n00b.

who you callin' n00b, n00b?!

Max > *...get out!

Bless you.

I'm disappointed with myself, because i laughed at that.

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!!

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.

You should embrace your new found a appetite! Get down the gym and then eat all day, not rubbish, good wholesome protein filled food and get stacked for summer!

that'd be all well and good if i could afford the gym, and had the time to go there. i'd love to go back, i just cant

Get VIRII to come in here, and make sure you stick to your quitting ways.

you forget that Charlotte is a Radiotherapy student. i've got pictures of lung,throat,larynx,mouth cancer coming out of my eye sockets. the cigarettes arent a problem, it's the eating!

Its not like you're fat though.

Or, at least, I don't recall thinking 'christ this guy is FAT'. It was more, 'Whoa this guy is PHAT!'

thanks mate i think my problem is i used to be pretty fat, and lost a few stone, and now i'm really paranoid im going to put it back on. it fluctuates like crazy and i want to be able to control it. plus, snacking ftl
