How much weight did you gain when you stopped smoking? -

I-ve been off my Marlboro-s for 3 months and I-v packed on 15 pounds. AAAHHHH!!!! Any idea when this weigh gain is going to stop? I use my stationary bike daily (except Sundays) and peddle 3-5 miles per day. My knees are giving out (old tennis injury) and I don-t think they can handle going any further than 5 miles. All support ... advice...suggestions welcome.GUM GUM GUM, hard candy, licorice etc. I gained about 8 pounds because I was still doing weight watchers at the time, but you DEFINITELY have a desire to eat.

I kept telling myself -If I had the willpower to quit smoking for the sake of my health, I can make myself quit EATING!- Try to exhibit some willpower over your snacking by making sure you NOTICE when you-re feeling snacky and take control of it.

Good luck, dear!14 pounds. after i noticed the gain I began loosing it by walking alot.you also nee to check your diet. make sure your eating right.Cardio (dancing, swimming laps, etc) will help you, as well as eating right. Weight gain is normal because smoking depresses appetite. Average weight gain is 10 to 20 pounds.
I-ll give you a site I used daily when I quit. You can post to others about your quit weight gain, and ask other questions. It gives 24/7 adivice, tips and support. You can even ask nurses questions. Its really great... check it out (free too).

Tough love = call the cops on them.PUT THEM IN REHAB.You can have a family intervention. You have to get a professional to help with it. They have to go to a rehab place.Tell them you are done watching them destroy their body. And---Mean it!Pray, or go on the show Intervention.. or send them to Rehabtie their feet - hands behind their back - duct tape their mouth !kill the pricksquirt gun...sorry but its not up to you-they have to want to stop and be careful around people who do it-it really can turn them scary.good luck your a good friend to want to helpu should pray for them that they will come 2 their senses n realize they r hurting themselves serverlymost likely they wont stop untill they want to my ex wouldnt stop so i left him.tell them to get professional help and for them not to come over until they are clean-healthy and have found some respect for themselves and their loved ones.

Tell them you will only be there for them if they want to get their act together, because the lack of love in their life may only fuel their self destruction, love can heal people and give them more to live for.

Make sure they know you care, but that you dont want to be closley involved with someone that has dangerous addictions.Tie them down to a bed and leave them a week or so, oh, yeah, they may need food and water every now and then.
