Side Effects
Wednesday, November 29, 2006 at 1:59PM So I have been smoke free for 3 months!
Whoop de Do!
I know, I know. I am happy about that but I have turned into a food scarfing machine! I cannot stop eating. I am crazy hungry all the time. All. The. Freaking. TIME!
So sure I do not smell like an ashtray but I look like this guy...
And poor Master P (my insulin pump) did not notice a difference on Thanksgiving since I have been bolusing like there is no tomorrow for 3 whole months! That has been 90 days of non-stop eating, constant hunger, and filling reservoirs on a (what seems) daily basis. I have to start wearing maternity clothes or sweats or maybe...
a kilt?

congrats on 3 months of smoke-free!
but I can understand how the side effects must be annoying.
Hey SuperG! Congrats on 3 months free from smoking!! You should be very proud of yourself. :)
I'm sure the "side-effects" are annoying, but you are doing a great service to your body by taking such good care of it.
I want my babybackbabybackbabyback.
Congrats on 3 months!!
Now you need to get to work on the eating thing......
Maybe rather than hunger, it's an oral fixation thing? Try chewing gum or chewing a toothpick....
No rest for the weary :)
jabba the hut is way more awesome than anyone who is smoking!
Congrats on the milestone!
WHOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOO on 3 months! That's an amazing accomplishment and no amount of Jabba-ness should ever undermine that feat!!!
I love that your pump is named Master P. We haven't named Charlie's pump yet. It does, however, activate forcefields, shoot lasers and gives him invisibility. Congrats on 3 months. May the force be with you.
Go George! Stopping the smoking really is a difficult, yet critical thing for your health.
Hey, you know, sometimes hunger is really thirst in disguise. Have you tried filling your body with copious amounts of water?
Also, try this: when you get a craving, pinch your earlobes for 5 seconds and see if it goes away. I don't know why, but I read somewhere that it works!
Go George!
3 months! Yahoo!!!!
Way to go. I think the weight gain is probably much better than the smoking. Though the gain is probably quite frustrating, I'm sure.
But then there is always a kilt... or perhaps a muumuu (A la Homer Simpson).
How about a toga? Not only are they stylish, but the air circulation is second to none.
You crack me up.
Good on you for hitting the 3 month mark! Did you know that your lung function increases by 10% after the three month mark?
My word verification was ixmmu...I wonder if that translates to ix-nay on the muumuu... ;)
Great post George - is the top one your passport photo? Brilliant that you have cut out the smokes...well done old chap! (in an English accent)
Congrats on 3 months smoke-free!
Ok, I had a giggle when I saw the Austin Powers reference in your post. But honestly, you are doing your body good by quitting and I wish you continued success!
Way to go!
SG - leave those coffin nails in that trail of dust as you move forward. Three months is huge!
I am rapidly becoming a chub-ette myself, and I don't even have a good reason (nor a solution, for that matter, but I will probably be pinching my earlobes all afternoon!).
hahaha! 3 whole months! Quitting smoking was one of the hardest things I ever did, EVER! It was so hard I never want to smoke again because quitting was so terrible, WAY TO GO!
congrats on 3 months of being smoke-free. That's a huge accomplishment!!
3 Months Dude!!! Awesome. If you want it bad enough you will do it, so far so good.
I'm rootin' for you!
ps. Stuck in traffic today i figured out what B.A.D means. Im smart eh?
DUDE!!!!!
3 WHOLE MONTHS?!! Has it really been that long?! Wow.
Really man, sit back and absorb that for a minute! Do you remember when you first tried to quit? Cold Turkey? And now look at you - 3 months out!
Really man - I'm super proud of you. And, you don't stink anymore! Well, at least not like cigs... :-p
"GIT IN MAH BELLEH"
Rock on man!
