Hi all!! I hope that everyone is doing well with their quit!!
Anyway, over the past year or so, I lost 120 pounds. I have been holding steady at a healthy weight for over 6 months now. I am really scared about gaining weight back while quitting!!! I've tried talking to my husband about it, but he just thinks I'm being silly. I eat healthy food and I do not eat junk food or fast food. I try to exercise every day.
Is gaining weight really a possibility for me? Am I going to have to teach myself how to eat AGAIN?! This is really frustrating!
The week before I quit smoking I went on one of those soup diets and lost 6 lbs (I think, long time ago now) It got me to eating healthy and snacking on veggies. So when I quit I started watching calories and exercising. I bought allot of low fat foods, low sugar candies to eat and REALLY tried NOT to replace my smoking with food. I quit in April so the weather was good, I walked 2 miles in the morn and 2 at night, plus I rode my bike whenever I could. Hubby and I did allot of seadooing since it was so hot last summer and I know that helped (swam allot in the Niagara River) This winter I have worked out with DVD's and I have an exercise bike, plus I walk when the weather allows.
It has been a long hard journey but one that I am proud of. I also got a new job, its like a whole new me
It can be done (diet and quit) but I am telling you it was HARD, but it is WORTH it!!!!

If you stick to it and dont eat instead of smoking I am sure you can do it. Like you I was terrified of gaining weight, but with allot of work and will power I did and so can you or anyone else, if we can quit smoking we can do ANYTHING!!!!
