To avoid weight gain:
* Increase exercise: it is a form of stress relief;
* Drink a large glass of water to relieve hunger pains;
* Eat slowly so that your body knows its full:
* Have healthy snacks available such as fruit and vegetables rather than high calorie snacks such as chocolate or chips.

There-s a whole page devoted to smoking and weight at
http://www.quitguide.com.
It covers, myths about weight gain when quitting, exercise, food and exactly what hapens to your body when you quit. From there you can then go on to read about what to eat and how to eat, plus more pages on healthy snacks, soup, smoothies etc to buy and make.
honestly, you-re gonna think im crazy, BUT to keep from eating, just carry around a water bottle to drink...im serious, it works...and ...
smoking is a habit more or less than anything else, SO when you feel like you need a cigarette, carry around a pen in place of a cig... thats what my fiance did and it worked...so
good luck :) im very proud of you for quitting :)
try gum
well, the water is a good idea... it helps, but if you must eat, which MOST of us do... carry around some fruit, or an energy bar or two... they give you vitamins and minerals your body needs without overloading your body with carbs and sugars
I have quit twice for extended periods. This time over two years. Do the following and not only will you NOT gain weight, you just might lose some. Stop eating bread, sugars and pasta and drink lots of water. Sugars and bleached flour increase cravings. Go for walks 30 to 45 minutes 4 to 6 times a week. And sleep as MUCH as you can. Do these things and you give yourself an excellent chance. Good Luck
DECIDE !!!!!!!! Would you like to live older ? If yes, STOP smoking. Honestly, make a reseach on the bad effects of smoking, (the pain), write them down. After that, make a research on the good effects of stopping smoking, (the pleasure), write them down too. Then, read what you have written every time you want to smoke, and if you want, every time you go to bed. Do it ! Try at least ! Exercise and drink water too ! Have good habits instead of smoking.
Do you want to smell bad ? Die younger ? Have cancer ? Leave your family in the pain ? Have yellow teeth ? Beu....
I will not tell you good luck, because it-s not luck, it-s a choice.
