For the most part, smoking did not make me fat; it made me gain some weight. However, not being able to breathe made it nearly impossible to take off the weight because I couldn't exercise at full capacity.

...That should read that Quitting smoking didn't make me fat; it made me gain weight.

First off, hello I choose life! Second off, I first didn't worry about any weight gain. Smoking does speed up metabolism, because our lungs have to work harder to oxygenate our bodies. So when we quit smoking, our metabolisms slow down. The average former smoker gains 9-10 lbs. But there's good news, too. You can be overweight and healthy. It's just not likely that you can be obese and healthy. You also would have to put on about 70 lbs to put the same amount of stress on your body that smoking does. I put on 10 lbs when I quit. After the first year, I went to work getting it off. Once you quit smoking, you can do anything. Over the past year, I've lost 70 lbs. For the most part, smoking did not make me fat; it made me gain some weight. However, not being able to breathe made it nearly impossible to take off the weight because I couldn't exercise at full capacity. So as I have aged and my metabolism has naturally slowed down, smoking keeps me fat. To some things up: (1) There is no safe level at which to smoke, but there is a safe level at which to be overweight. (2) Smoking rarely makes people fat, but in the long run it stops people from losing weight. I don't know how old you are, but you may find smoking to be a weight handicap at some point.

I choose Life,
 
You have done this before so reach deep and find your motivation!  If you have to lay off the pizza for a while then do so.  Moderation is key and so is your water intake. Flushing out the toxins and putting good healthy food into your body can be a goal that will get you results step by step.
 
This is great for your life coaching skills!  Keeping quit and working toward a healthier you, can only benefit your mind and body.
 
Give yourself a break and set some attainable goals weekly.

I lost so many quits partly because of weight and because I am addicted to them.  This time I knew some weight would come, sooooooooo I let them.  I remember reading post where the people said they had gain weight then around six months to a year the weight started to come off.  I am at six months now and although I did go to Curves and walk before, I now am going to the gym with my husband and still walking.  But now I feel I am ready to watch my intake and little by little it is coming off.  I am strong believer in walking.  Don't lose your quit over something you can address in a few months down the road.  The wait, no pun intended, it worth it.

Hey guys,
 
I'm really struggling the last few days. I was prepared for little bouts of wanting a cig but not a conscious dialogue about the pros and cons!! My last quit was for a year and a half and then I started smoking again, what I hadn't noticed in that 1 1/2 years was that I had put on two stone when I was off cigs. As soon as I started smoking again, the weight just dropped off.
 
I'm three months into this quit and I'm putting on weight and its making me miserable. Everyday getting dressed and clothes are tight, I'm associating that miserable feeling with not smoking. I keep trying to justify why it would be good to quit this quit!! The only thing stopping me is that I've just moved in with my boyfriend and he quit a few weeks after me. If I start back, it wouldn't be fair on him and he'd probably start back too. He however is not putting on any weight, Grrr!!
 
It's really making me miserable and yet I've no motivation to exercise. Pizza is so much nicer than salad. I work as a life coach and this is even affecting my work. I can't coach myself out of this so then I feel useless to my clients!!
 
I could really do with some help! Any suggestions?
 
Thanks, 
 
Paula
