how did you vent your anger/fustration/energy? right now i snap at the smallest things, this normally isn't how i am... i would go and lift weights but i can't do that till later when i'm done with class... so any ideas that you have would help!
For those of you that quit smoking....!

I was only snappy for the first few days after quitting cold turkey. If I though I was about to snap at someone I just closed my mouth. I think I did snap a few times at my hubby though. 
I also ate a lot of candy. I chewed gum, ate suckers, and ate hard candies. I think that helped me a little.

i can shut up to most things... but still flipping out is getting old... i personally don't want to use food to stop... i lost somthing like 40 lbs from smoking... i'd rather not gain it back if i don't have to
:-/alright alright... got the idea. thanks for squeezing out a big cleavland steamer in my thread :-/
too cold to bike in the mornings (good excuse huh?
) but i'm going to lift before i head home for the weekend, my rents have some sort of total gym thing so i'll be spending a lot of time in there this weekend...amanda said her short fuse only last a few days... how long did it last for everyone else?

I maily chewed gum. I don't think that you will get fat from chewing gum. It was just a suggestion though.

Crap excuse. The only time I dont run is when it's stormy, or there is more than a few inches of fresh snow on the ground. I'll run even when it's below zero out. Buy some fleece and/or Gore-tex outerwear, some poly undies, gloves and a ski hat and stop making excuses. If you don't run or bike, you'll grow a belly, I promise you. No amount of weight lifing will stop the fat from coming on after quitting smoking. Only a good 45 minutes minimum, 5 days a week of hard cardio will stop it, and keep it off.
Plus, you'll feel better, and the cravings will be FAR less.
get the friggen patch...cold turkey sucks and not only are you pissed, but your pissing everyone around you off.

Actually, no. You can quit smoking, eat exactly the same, and have the same activity you had before, and still gain weight. Smoking increases your metabolism, and makes your body work harder just to breathe and pump blood. Taking away that strain and lowering your metabolism will result in needing fewer calories to maintain your present weight, and thus, if you eat the same as you did before, you'll gain.
the patch made me crave nicotine even more. after day three i went off the patch and it got better on it own. three months since I quit daily smoking.

Pussy. If it's too cold, then you aren't working hard enough to keep you warm. It was only 32 degrees up in Fargo on Tuesday...that's not that cold at all. Put on some sweatpants, a tee shirt, a sweatshirt over the top, a stocking cap, and some thin gloves and you'll be warmed up in about 10-15 minutes.

Nothing wrong with calling a spade a spade.
thank you !
were you quoting a nicorette commercial... or talking about something serious?
ive been chewing so much gum that my jaw is starting to hurt, and it dosen't work that good.
no one here in town sells them (yes i checked, it's a really small town, or the places that had them were out) by the time i get back to fargo, i'll be locked downstairs in my rents' workout room pumpin iron
i just need to make it though another 1.5 hrs of class and them i'll be ok.thanks guys (and girl
) for the help!yea yea i know... i'll go for a ride tomorrow morning... i'm going to the Y tonight to swim some laps, then hit up the sauna for a while... that'll take a bit of the edge off
go see your doctor, he can prescribe something that will take the cravings away until you can control it on your own. Its tough to do....thats for sure..best of luck
thanks for the idea... i don't have the money to go and get a perscription... and personally don't think i'll need it :-/
you had the money to buy smokes no? but you can't afford to see the doc? Can you put a price on your lungs?
Can you put a price on your lungs?
health Insurance should cover the doctors visit and part of the prescription.
