I have stopped smoking for 4 weeks now and feel great. BUT...? -
The problem is I am feeling so bloody depressed at the moment and one of the reasons is the weight gain. I am going to the gym and working my **** off literally, not eating anymore than I did when I smoked in fact I-m eating less, so why can-t I get into any of my clothes and why have I put so much weight on. Went on NHS quit-line they didn-t know found them frustrating and useless. So if anyone can shed some light onto this or what I-m doing wrong. I-m now so depressed about everything I feel like comfort eating. By the way I have never had a problem with my weight in the past and have never been on a diet.stress causes weight gain and water retention... you are fine, give it more time, you will reset your system eventually. I-m weening currently but this is my first attempt. I-m trying to cut back more and more, I-m down from half a pack a day to about 2 ... so that is good, but I am feeling the effects you are too.And half a pack seems like a lot now for me, but three years ago in college I was going through like 2 packs a day easy.You are doing soooooooooo well, keep it up. I think the winter is a horrible time to diet anyway. You have just given up what probably was a crutch and you probably miss it, but you want to stay stopped at the same time. Are you sure even if you are eating less -it is less of the right things? With all the money you must be saving on not buying cigarettes - splash out on a new outfit. The health benefits etc will surely outweigh a few pounds. You are doing very well.hmm, this is why i havent tried to stop since my last attemp, well you could get lozenges or chewing gum when ever you feel peckish or an apple.
also when i quit once for a month, i got really boring, just not me, i enjoy smoking, but i know i wont when my lungs pack in so just keep up the good workwell done for stopping smoking if you give it time your body will regulate itself then you will see a difference in your weight dont start smokingNicotine is an appetite suppressant, and that-s all. So you still eating the same amount, but gaining weight won-t be down to the lack of nicotine.
The only thing it could really be is a natural change in your metabolism which comes with age, or perhaps your diet has changed to more fatty foods?
It depends what you do at the gym aswell - stick to mostly cardio and on weights, do High - reps Low - weights to build more LEAN muscle. The more lean muscle you have, the faster your metabolism will be.
Hope this helpsThe formula for losing weight is easy - consume less food and move more often - the issues surface when we really try to put that into practice! There are loads of opportunities to fail in the real world don-t you think?! The one thing which really delivered for me was wu-yi tea, it can be seen in the resource box underneath, they have a small number of free trials left, it has been reported in Fox News and CNN. I melted away 30 pounds, it really does work!
