Day 5: Help! I've Stopped in More Ways Than One!

So, this is potentially more information than you all need to know, but I am unsure who else to turn to. 

I am currently on day 5 of my quit. Yesterday was tough, but you all helped so much with your comments to my first blog post, and I'm feeling much better emotionally and physically today - except for one tiny little problem. 

You know that kids book "Everybody Poops"? Well .. yeah, everyone but me, apparently. I haven't pooped in days. At first I thought it was because I am a little apprehensive to do so in the same apartment as my boyfriend (who I moved in with 5 days ago. That's right - major relationship change AND a quit all at the same time. Woo!), but I'm starting to think that it has to do with my not smoking. Has this happened to anyone else? Is my body just getting used to not having a constant intake of the cigarettes? Is it time to turn to a laxative?

I knew quitting smoking meant stopping a lot of things, but I totally didn't anticipate getting all stopped up too! 😉
