But I just kept eating until I felt sick, sitting here right now with laptop but can bearly see the screen due to over-inflated stomach!
It's not like me to behave like a piglet, I do love my food, but today was weird, didnt particularly have any strong cravings or thoughts, just feel a bit spaced out and disorientated, I suppose if I'm honest I was thinking about smoking as I always do if I'm pottering in the garden, but it wasn't like obsessive thinking or anything.
I mean I eat a flake in almost one go, about 7 biscuits, my poor little boy asked me to open his aero bar and I relieved him of 3 squares before handing it to him, dinner time was a nightmare, my mum put on a BBQ spread, I'm not even a fan of BBQ's but I just eat and eat and eat, my OH said to me 'whats wrong with you, please stop eating', it was embarassing!
OK Im 10 weeks into quit today and 8lbs heavier, no big deal I am enjoying doing some exercise and know I'll lose it eventually, but couldn't even think of exercise today, felt like a right slob and just hope this is a one off bad day

hope you're feeling better today shelley, i normally get a 'food hangover' after days like that. i'm three weeks behind you and am still getting that spaced out and disoriented feeling from time to time as well - wonder when it will ever stop!
i was hoping to be free of physical symptoms by now - i guess it could be the mind producing physical symptoms, didnt think my mind was that strong
Snap! i've done this, i have hungry days and i eat and eat and eat even when i'm not hungry. It seriously worrying, all i can say is just keep eating and start exercising pronto! better gto eat than smoke.
Some days i've eaten a whopping great cornish pasty and it hasn't even touched the sides and thats around 10am :eek: fortunately i'm still slim BUT i'm getting bigger fast.
Most days I am in control but on the days Im not I cannot get it down me quick enough. Me and OH have had what feels like low blood sugar sometimes, we go weak and crave food (at least its not ciggies)!
I'm not pigging out for the sake of it though, I actually REALLY appreciate food now, it tastes superb, could I be the first quitter that has several times had tears in my eyes whilst devouring dinner? Is it enjoyment or relief just to satisy the craving for food!
I'm watching my weight closely, I gain quite easily, its took me years to get back to the shape/size 12/14 I was when I first met OH 11 years ago. I've been up to a size 20 many years back and I was a smoker then so I wont listen to any more nonsense from smokers about how fags keep you trim, because I see more and more overweight/obese people smoking than ever!
I'm going to bed otherwise I'll eat the last pork pie in the fridge xx
I've gone through the garrulous stage, the eating for Africa stage, the discard the belt stage, the 'I should do (increased) exercise' stage, the bloated stage, the what next stage and the 'enough of this stage' stage..........
There will come a time when the new no smoking you takes control stage happens :cool:
Most of this can be put down to quit, some of it strength or weakness of character..... mine's quite weak but then strength and logic seem to kick in and all being well, slowly begins to fall into place. Our minds are really powerful and can put up a battle that is quite shocking in it's strength and determination.
Quitting can be a roller coaster and our minds not feel our own at times..... remember, when you can, whose in charge
