Yep, I've heard all that. AND the rolling eyes when I try to say how frustrating it is to not be able to gain weight.

@Shymaid, everything you're experiencing is normal in the early part of our quits. Listen to your body and if its hungry, eat. Tired, sleep, etc. It's working extra hard right now to clean out all those years of smoking. The dizziness, or brain fog can sometimes be helped with sweets. I craved soft peppermint puffs my whole first year quit lol. You're doing great! PS. I know the pain of not being able to gain weight, I've experienced it my whole life and it IS just as bad as someone who can't lose weight!

When I smoked I drank a couple Dr. Peppers daily. After I quit and my taste buds came back the flavor changed and I quit drinking them. Its been years now since I've had a Dr Pepper. I also naturally went down from two cups of coffee to just one and sometimes just a half a cup.

Mindset really does have a lot to do with how easy or how hard your quit is going to be. You've got a great outlook and sound completely ready to put this addiction behind yoj so I'm sure you'll find it much easier than you feared.

3. Make a hat for Halloween
