Weight gaining.

[nsd_user663_1782]

Hi guys, just wanted to check in a little, yes I'm still smoke free, weee.

Anyways, about the thing in gaining weight, since 5. September I became a fitness freak though I was smoking (not kidding) went to the gym every day, I have not and I do not lie to you missed one day out of the gym, except on closed day like on Christmas day and new years, but then I go outside and at least have a jog for 5-20 minutes and call it a calm day.

Though I go to the gym every single day I do not always work as hard. I take one day where I just take it easy, just go on the treadmill for 10 minutes, stretch, hot tub and home.

Anyways I started practicing taekwondo three weeks ago, 3 times per week but I also go to the gym on those days (my mom is starting to get worried about my fitness obsession) the reason I go to the gym everyday is that I have linked to my brain that the whole day is ruined and a mess if I do not go to the gym and I have such big and my concision tells me to go!

The same thing goes with cigarettes, my concision doesn't allow a single more puff forever.

But that was just extra for your entertainment (hopefully inspiring to go the gym ) Is the weight gaining unavoidable or will my obsession about working out 10-11 times a week keep me down (I do not eat like a fitness though I have a lot of salad, tuna, water and milk each day, I steal from the cookie-jar a lot :rolleyes: )

After I stopped I also got sick (somewhere between day 3-5) I got so much slime in my throat and nose and my face has swollen up a bit.

So basically my questions are, is it normal to become sick and your face swollens up after quitting and is the weight gaining unavoidable?

REGARDS,

MR. CAN'T STOP TALKING

EDIT (ADD):

I just wanted to let you know I do not use any helping materials to quit smoking, I don't chew the gum, I do not use the patches or that thing you put nicotine in and suck on like a cigarette. (Only if it helps to explain my sickness and swollening in the face!)

Hello Valberg

In my opinion you will only gain weight if you replace cigarettes with food, which alot of people do, i'm only on Day 3 and i'm eating lots of chewing gum and mints becuase i'm enjoying the fresh breath!!!

I also think once your taste and smell begins to recover your appetite will be bigger and so you may gain weight because of this.

But i don't think you're gym routine will allow any weight gain!!!
