I havent heard anyone mention that since giving up theyve put on weight - am I the only one?
I dont smoke now but I cant stop thinking about food and cooking it! - yesterday made a chocolate cake covered in flake and buttons, and a sticky toffee pudding with toffee sauce and topped with double cream!,hungarian goulash and 3 more xmas cakes!! - I love food!!!! - I wasnt like this when I smoked though its like I have gained this tremendous appetite - but ive just bought paul mckennas ' I can make you thin' book - I'll let you know if it works............but he has a hell of a job on his hands
Weight is always an issue for me due to an under-active thyroid. I have to say though that cooking would not be on my list of things to do, although I really like good food. I craved something nice last night and went to the supermarket. I wandered round looking for something to take my fancy, but years of being broke means I can't bring myself to spend a fortune on big cream cakes etc, especially as half the time the reality isn't as good as the anticipation.
I bought a pineapple which is scrummy, and have still got a good half of it left. When I gave up smoking I did loads of knitting to keep my hands busy (hope that doesn't make me sound too ancient, lol), but the point I'm making is perhaps you could try something else creative to keep your mind and hands occupied. Really I guess I could also suggest exercise to distract you and keep your weight down, but that would make me a terrible hypocrite!
I am a firm believer in Weigh[EDIT - PLEASE REFRAIN FROM PERSONAL ABUSE]chers - I lost 2 stone last year and so far, haven't put any back on - mind you, I haven't totally given up smoking - yet
Perhaps we should start a thread in the BG on that Giz, although TBH I try not to let it worry me. When I can't find nice clothes to fit without paying a fortune I do get upset though. I often think people think I'm just trotting out an excuse for being fat if I mention it.
Mind you, you're a lot smaller than me, although I did manage to squeeze into the top you kindly lent me at the xmas do last year, lol.
Id find it hard to give up cooking - thats what I do best! I make wedding cakes and christmas cakes etc - I love baking. Funny enough when Im int he kitchen cooking - I rarely eat meals - I just pick now and then cos I'm busy - its when I am not doing anuything that I go looking for somethin gt o eat - so if I dont take the stuff into work that i v e cooked - I eat it!.
Ive tried weigh[EDIT - PLEASE REFRAIN FROM PERSONAL ABUSE]chers - I think its expensive especially if you cant make it some nights and I only lost half an pound! - than started putting more on and this has never happened to me before - its only since I stopped smoking - I used to be able to eat what I liked and always stayed under 9 - 9.5 stone, so I tried swimmming and walking -but still put weight on. Now im trying the paul mckenna method which I have to say makes sense - its basically chew every mouthful of food about 20 times that way you feel fuller on less food and never let yourself go hungry - eat little and often when you are hungry. Thats the trouble - we wait until meal times by which time we are starving and its too much to expect anyone to then eat slowly so im doing it his way - the golden rule he says is - if youre hungry - eat and I have to say I like his styleIve known others go back to smoking because of the weight gain - its like your battling 2 things at the same time and its very hard - do you stop smoking and stay the same weight or give up and pile on the pounds ( or stones ).for some the weight thing is mnore important than stopping smoking, with me its not - Ive stuck it out 7 months so im not going back now but I only wish there was some pill or something you could take when you first stop to stopt he weight gain then more people would give up I think. Telling people to exercise is pointless if they dont like exercising , we all know we should exercise more but if you dont like it then its just no good is it ? Myself I prefert o try and eat healthy foods(well most of the time) - no greasy fry ups etc and I cant stand ready made foods from supermarkets I like to bake my meals at the weekends and then eat them through the week - that way I know what im eating - so lets see if all this works - ! i'll keep you informed.
thats actually a good tip - I hate water but at work we have a water cooler and ive tried now and then having a drink when im hungry and it sometimes does surpress not only the desire for food but also for a cigarrette , also eating aniseed balls was recommended to a friend of mine when he stopped smoking.
I gave up smoking the hardest way....it took a heart attack to stop me and that was in Nov 06 and havnt had a cig since BUT now I have gained weight and am now type two diabetic.....funny how I had to pay perscription charges for my heart tablets and yet now have an exemption card for all my tablets due to dibetese is classed as more of a life threat than the heart attack.....yes I know it seems bonkers. I still get the odd craving for a cig eventhough it's been so long since Nov 06 but then I smell the stale cig smell on peoples clothes as they walk by me when i'm out and it makes me gag.
GOOD LUCK to those of you who are fighting the this terrible habbit I am glad now I'm done with it forever
Hi postggj I gave up smoking 25 years ago went from 13s stone to 18 stone did not worry to much and gradually lost the weight again have been 14 stone for the last 10 years. Still have the SS nurse at the docs going on about me being obese, I dont care just enjoying my retirement now.
Not smoking - but gaining weight!
