well, I have been quit for 4 months and one week. That is almost impossible to believe. I feel extremely solid in my quit, myproblem now is depression. That and I have gained 25 pounds. I won;t be smoking again but I honestly kinda feel like crap these days. I don't even have the motivation to work out daily, and I was doing that when I was smoking before. I won't start smoking again, and I don't want to be put on medication for depression but this is feeling like quite a vicious cycle... I gained weight because I was eating things to satisfy cravings without smoking and I have gained weight which hurts my self esteem which makes me lose motivation to work out so i gain more weight and getting depressed means i am eating more things i shouldn't in an effort to find comofrt in food. (I guess good news is i have already made an appointment to speak to my doctor about all this but like I said i don't want to be on medication, i just want some kind of boost, even if it is just verbal, maybe some wisdom and guidance is what i am seeking. )
