The Munchies


One of my most favourite yet most feared "side effects" , if you will, of quitting is the munchies.

I have eaten so far today : 1 apple, 2 eggs with cheese, 2 clementines with chocolate sauce, 2 handfuls of Tater tots and bbq sauce (random, I know, but I saw them in the freezer and I just had to!) Oh, I also ate 2 Lindor chocolates.

I know it's not a lot, but come on, that's a RANDOM menu! (And it still hasn't made the craving go away, so note: food does not replace cigarette.) Mitch is going to go get some dinner at the grocery store. I have no idea what to get. I want to eat healthy, but with him being sick, I don't want us to have to cook. Agh, this is why ordering food was so easy!

Bottle of lemon water, my new Pack

So in the attempt to NOT put on the 30 pounds I had last time I quit, I'm going to try carrying around my trusty 32 oz water bottle with a little bit of lemon in it. (Thanks to Miss Delisle for the hint.) Supposedly the lemon will help cut the muccus (ewww) in my throat as well as numerous other benefits I'm too edgy to write down.

I let Mitch hide my smokes last night (yes, I actually have some left, but have no idea where he put them). I'm kinda happy about it because I skipped the whole "I'm throwing out my smokes" ceremony, but at the same time, they are still inside my walls, haunting me. So I'll get him to throw them out. In front of me.

Mitch quit, too, but he's still in bed. I can't sleep. Too edgy. Can't eat, too edgy. Time stamp : 12 hours 57 minutes.
