I can't stop eating...

OMG I am hungry all of the time. I seem to be craving food more than cigs at the moment. It is nearly 2 weeks since I gave up and the last couple of days have been a nightmare for eating. I expected to eat a bit more once I quit but the way I am going I am going to put on so much weight. I am only small so I cant afford to put too much on.

Anyone got any tips to stop the craving for food as well as cigs lol!

I hear yah. in the last two hours -after dinner time here - I have had: two bowls of ice cream, two donuts, one liter of apple juice, three sticks of gum, and just a few minutes ago went into the kitchen again scrounging.

And I'm going back in there now to see about that extra donut.

^ This is true - but, on thinking about it I have decided to boil the kettle and have an Earl Grey instead.

I am getting fatter. But the way I figure it is since I can kick this smoker disease/addiction I can run 500 miles next year no prob.

Sorry but I had to chuckle to myself while reading this as I was scoffing a family size bag of cheezy balls mm mmmm.

I definitly seem to be eating more than before but I'm trying my hardest to increase my exercise to hopefully counteract it.

Hi, Try not to worry too much at this stage. Sort out the cigarettes and deal with the weight later. But, if you have the munchies, try to munch on something without toooooo many calories. Living in Spain, you'll have the choice of wonderful niblets. At the moment, I'm into black seedless grapes, celery and nuts. Not at the same time though.

Crisps

Crisps. Now there is a weakness that adds to the midrift, I am on a pack of 6 a day.

Scotch eggs, a former favorite of mine, now taste like crap though. Go figure.

y i hear ya nicki - tis a real issue, and theres science behind it.

when you smoke your body releases a small amount of glucose (food/sugar) into your blood stream - this is why you eat less when you smoke.

there was a vid i posted a while back about dealing with it .. let me search for it

yeah here - getting your head round the science helps you to deal with it better ... check this out. .

What ? ....No Monster munch?

thats criminal!!!! :)

Your appetite will increase , i still notice my appetite since i quit.....tip : plan for the munchies when you go shopping and get healthy options - tangerines are still my fav , olives, various nuts ...anything that isnt always a bar of chocolate will go a long way in looking after the waistline!

The main thing is not smoking :)

I think that on the whole crisps are better than the boxes on sainsburys chocolate mini rolls I keep consuming. 2 boxes for £3.50 at your local JS. Oh god, keep me away from them pleeeez.:confused:
