Two weeks done! It has flown by. In fact, apart from the days numbered at the top of this blog, I'm not really counting off the no smoking days any more. That must be a good sign - that I am not thinking 'I have not had a cigarette for x amount of days', but that I am just moving forward and thinking about normal things again.
Today I am back at my old workplace. The smoking ban is in place and I don't expect people to be smoking around me and making me want cigarettes. I have my carrots - and celery! I have juice and a bag of cashew nuts. I'm not a health freak, by any stretch, but these are the things that help me not think about cigarettes. I read somewhere that when you stop smoking, your appetite comes back. It did with me, ferociously! I knew that if I started eating junk food snacks, that I'd feel sick and start to put weight on. The funny thing is, that my taste has come back. Chocolate bars (as in cheap snack bars) taste completely disgusting now. They are so sugary and bland. Whereas carrots have become these wonderful snack bars for me!
Sunflower seeds are supposed to have something in them that helps replace nicotine. Please don't quote me on that (my friend told me and she is an artist - not a scientist!), but it is clear that having nibbly foods really helps the appetite and the habit of what to do with your hands.
