Well done for giving up smoking! I stopped over four years ago and put on weight too so I sympathise. I've lost three stone on the 5:2 Diet which is brilliant and I can tell you about it if you would like that. Firstly stop buying treats and snacks and just switch to eating your regular meals from smaller plates and don't snack between meals. If you feel the urge to snack then just have a hot drink and back away from the kitchen! If your tummy grumbles it's using up fat so welcome that feeling.
