I woke up today, to a new day

**lv4dogs** · 01-13-2006, 11:07 AM

Day #3 & no ciggs! I feel pretty good too, besides I have that slight quitting smoking cough. Its not that bad though, not as bad as a few years ago when I was smoking almost a pack a day & quit.

I find myself fidgetting (sp?) more & eating more.

That is awesome! Keep up the good work. Find something to do with your hands to keep them busy, play with rubber bands, one of those stress balls, even some clay or silly putty or something. Eat pretzels and other lower fat content foods to help with the snacking, and some fresh fruits cut up. You can keep them handy and take them to work with you, maybe some of those goldfish crackers too. Anyway, keep up the good work, soon that nasty cough will be gone and you'll feel even better and not risk your health with those horrid cigarettes.

Try some Chamomile tea (for the figgetting).
Pretzels and fruit is a good idea.
Sugar free gum and candies is a must.

It is weird, it's mainly my feet & legs that can't stop figgetting. lol

Thanks for the continued prayers everyone!

Mine felt like that too a little when I first quit - just remember that it will go away. I am now super-sensitive to second hand smoke, and it (usually) bothers me - although sometimes it still makes me want one

That's okay - figeting helps burn any extra calories!

Keep on going, lollipops are an acceptable substitute if you NEED that something in your mouth and hand.

Walk on your breaks and lunch . Keep carrots and celery around less fatting and god for you.
