After smoking cessation I have gained a lot of weight.What is the best way to stop this eating disorder?


I seem to eat compulsively and I know it is the result of having stopped smoking. I have heart problems so weight is a health problem for me. I went from waist size 32-33 to a 40.

start snacking on healthier things. instead of chips snack on frozen fruits. or some carrots.

my grampa used peanuts.

add some exercise to your daily activities. it will reduce cravings and you'll lose the extra weight. natural endorphins are the best for you. you never know, you could become addicted to exercise.
This is very common.
Try chewing gum, that's what they reccomend.
Sugar-free chewing gum... hmm... or you can much on things that are low in calories... like raw veggies (gee how EXCITING!) and all this boring good crap for you... suck on altoids, one right after the other
You are replacing the habit that was in your hands, with another. Try holding something, like a pencil. You can also try to keep lots of healthy snacks on hand, celery, etc. You can also try getting up and doing 5 mins of brisk exercise when the urge to eat grabs you!

Also, I take Wellbutrin XL (aka Zyban, aka Bupropion) which helps me feel better.

If you have the willpower to quit smoking then you should try to use that to eat smarter.I quit 3yr ago and went from 170lbs to 210 so i know what your talking about.Good luck.
baby carrots are great. you can snack on them, and even hold them like cigarettes cause your hands are still looking for something to hold (remember when carson used to have pencils all over????)
