Day 12 (body temp warmer, I can smell things!)

Back pain is gone. Funny taste in mouth subsiding. Cravings practically zero. Didn't even notice my friend smoking after dinner while I reached for a stick of gum. I can't believe how fast I've gotten over this. My muscles feel more flexible, as if I can roll my shoulders and turn around without feeling so stiff. My sense of smell is more sensitive! I was very irritated by air pollution on the way home tonight and catching whiffs of other smokers' made me wrinkle my nose! My body temp is up, I'm less cold.

Appetite is also up and I'm forming a little belly and some saddle bags, because I'd given myself permission to eat and drink anything while going through cigarette withdrawal.

I thought it would take a month to get over cigarettes. I still can't believe in less than two weeks I'm already looking ahead to my diet and planning for a short fast in the coming weeks. I feel inspired.... :-D
