Hey there guys, I need some help! I decided to quit smoking this week after being a pack a day smoker for a decade. Yeah I know its a great choice I'll be healthier blah blah blah. As you can tell I am a wee bit grumpy, I am using the patch which does help with the needing of the cigs but.......... I swear I at night I just want to eat everything I see. I haven't cheated, I just am eating to much of legal foods. 
I am at a loss as to what to do with this new found free time. And let me tell you it is not a free time I am enjoying. I have no issues with drinking more than enough water, I tried some sugar-free gum (2 pieces a day max split up if need be into 4 halves to stretch it but I feel like that may be causing me additional cravings plus I don't want to replace smoking with any kind of food habit), crossword puzzles, reading, and on and on. I am a regular exerciser as well and have actually ordered a more intense workout dvd since I will be able to breath a bit easier, but it hasn't come yet. I don't know, I know I am rambling, I need help! My hubby quit with me and he's all tra la la la and having a great time of it, I guess I didn't realize how big a part of my life smoking had become. Any suggestions as to what to do when I would normally smoke instead of stuffing my face would be greatly appreciated! To date I have lost 64 lbs and the last thing I want to do is trade in smoking for a habit of filling my face! I guess I never thought it would actually be this friggin hard to quit, boy was I wrong!
Anyway thank you all in advance for listening to me ramble and rant, ya'll are the best!

I hate this. I know smoking is bad for you and all but geeeeez, I really have to figure out another way to deal with stress. I tried crocheting once a long time ago and just couldn't seem to pick it up. I wish my Mom was still alive, she was an awesome crocheter and I know she could teach me if I really wanted to learn. Good grief this is awful, I am sitting here crying now for no apparent reason other than I really want a cigarette, how sad is that. I'd rather give up sugar & bread and all the other crap I have given up a thousand times over, than I would feel like this all over a stupid friggin smoke. And food actually tastes good unlike a cig.......I need a stronger patch 
Maybe I'll try making jewelry, I used to do that when I was in middle school, using tiny beads, it was fun and time consuming as I recall, need to go to Wal-Mart and get some clasps, and the thread, at least I know I have beads already
Ok I am rambling again, typing helps, its always been hard to smoke and type, maybe I'll type a book
Thanks for listening 
Well for right this very second I am gonna wear my patch and I have picked up a cap to a pen and have it in my mouth
And its gotta hole in the top so I can suck thru it just like a cig
