Question about Appetite!

Hey everyone...just curious if any one using the nicotine patch has noticed a decrease in appetite? I'm still eating but not as much as when I was smoking and was just curious if there is anyone out there that has this going on? Just took notice of this today and I am on day 5. Believe me I am not complaining about not eating as much!

I was on the patch princess, i didnt feel my appetite decrease, but i also dont think it increased really. i think it is all physcological, im quite a busy person so dont have time to eat huge amounts! 

what a bonus though hey, giving up smoking and hopefully losing a bit of weight through less eating??? i know i would be a happy girl if that was me :)

Thank you everyone! Made it through day 6 today no problem! I love days like today! The end of the day tomorrow I will be celebrating one week smoke free. I can't believe it!

Congrats PrairiePrincess👏👏👏👏

The first week is awful.... Hang in there for week 2.... We're here if you need us... These beautiful people helped me not light up time and time again ... I was so ill and I had a HUGE psychological dependence on smoking...

Best wishes from 🇨🇦👍🏻

Oh I know !!  Seems like forever since we touched base.. If we were neighbors , we could catch up over a pint or a cider ... When I spent time in England , my aunt and I went out to a pub and drank her favorite ciders .. That's when I had my first cider ( not drink) 😂😂

So it's 6:10am here in western🇨🇦   My mornings are EARLY.. I'm going to get help with my sleep ... Can't go on like this .... 

Stay in touch🌹  Luv ya lots 👍🏻

Oh yes ... Cider hangover... After being out with my aunt drinking cider all afternoon😂😂😂 we stumbled home and yes I was sick for days... She was fine😂😂😂  grrrr 

Just LOVED the English people.. I was the centre of attention 😂😂😂  they made a fuss over me and wanted to hear my accent...  I spent 3 months there.... Threw up on the London Bridge from car sickness and pollution😂😂  sorry London people but the air there is different from mountain air😂😂😂

All in all.... I told jillygirl I am definitely going back... Can't resist  the friendly people and the neighborhood pubs❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
