  6. Hi Evelyn, The weight gain is not fun, that is for sure. Try to look on the positive side though. Better fat cells than cancer cells. Fat is a lot easier to get rid of then cancer. When you were smoking, you were inhaling stimulants continuously which sped up your metabolism. Take that away and your metabolism slows down. Together with the need to satisfy the hand to mouth urges, makes for weight gain. For me, it wasn't even about hunger. Now it is up to us to speed up our metabolism naturally, by ourselves without chemicals. Frequent exercise would be a good start. I understand what you mean about your medication making you eat. My son takes a medication that makes him eat like you would not believe, even though I make him eat a lot of protein. I have to hide food from him. It's gotten better with the warmer weather, so he's more active. That's another thing, exercise can work as an appetite suppressant too. Join in on the exercise and healthy recipe threads, they can be very helpful :)

About us

QuitTrain®, a quit smoking support community, was created by former smokers who have a deep desire to help people quit smoking and to help keep those quits intact.  This place should be a safe haven to escape the daily grind and focus on protecting our quits.  We don't believe that there is a "one size fits all" approach when it comes to quitting smoking.  Each of us has our own unique set of circumstances which contributes to how we go about quitting and more importantly, how we keep our quits.
