Dear smokers

4:43 pm Daily life

I think I have new empathy for anyone who has tried to quit smoking. I have “quit” snacking for a little over a week now. I get bored, don’t know what to do with my hands, and have been a little cranky about it especially around 8:30 at night when I usually unwind with some cheez-its in front of the TV. I had NO IDEA how much I depend on a little bowl of something, like popcorn, to keep me occupied.

I seriously cannot imagine how hard it would be to quit smoking. Props to anyone who has succeeded or even given it a good effort before going back to it. I think I can see how it would just suck you back in.

    Why quit snacking? I quit because I’m fat and I find that ice cubes are a passable substitute except I end up also chewing the frozen inside of my mouth…at least that makes the salty snacks intolerable when the salt gets in the owwies.
