Feeling Empty on Day 77

Ever since I got off the nicotine patches ( 3 weeks ago today) I have had this empty feeling like a dull hunger that never goes away even after I eat , I figure it must be part of the withdrawal from nicotine .It is an annoying feeling How long will this  feeling last ?

Have any of you experienced this feeling ? Any suggestions on how to deal with it besides eating and eating !!!! I am dealing with it, but already i have gained 5 or 6 pounds I am walking more to keep the weight down but I just hate this feeling . I also think I read something about it in Allen Carrs Book .

Thank you all for being here  ((HUGS))
