Okay so here I am nearing the end of week 5 and I am so drained. Now I have been having problems sleeping and was away for a week at my moms with the kids...which meant not going to the gym and running around taking the kids all over the place. However I feel just...lethargic! Oh and as of today from the day I quit I have gained 5 pounds. Sad part is I am not eating more...I am drinking less and have been exercising more( except last week at moms but I did walk a lot and ran some)! Darn it!! I sure hope it is true that this weight thing just eventually tunes it's self! Everything I read says it is typical to gain 5-8 pounds just due to not smoking but that it is supposedly going to melt away! Arg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyone else experiencing this? What a bummer!

Thank you for you reply. This eveining I ate a really good cut of Salmon and had a 2 hr nap today and I feel wonderful!! I think as a smoker my diet was inadequate...as I drank a lot of coffee and probably didn't eat enough nutrient rich foods! I am trying to increase my consunption of protein, veggies and fruits...really need to concentrate on eating only whole foods. That will probably help with my energy deficit!
