This is my second go around as a member of MFP. I recently quit smoking after 23 years and I’m trying to keep the weight off and lose around five more pounds. I struggle with food daily because I have a crazy work schedule that is not consistent.

Something that helps me is keeping a bag of unsalted peanuts in my purse. Eating that several times a day keeps her metabolism up. Also lots and lots of water the average person is supposed to drink half their body weight in ounces. I'm supposed to drink a 100 ounces a day. To lose water weight you have to drink more water... LOL it's really hard to drink that much water but it really helps

Hi Samantha welcome back! Congrats on quitting smoking. As an ex smoker (quit over 17 years ago), I know how that can be. As well has how it can effect watching weight on top of a busy / stressful schedule. Your in the right place especially here with all the awesome nice MFP folks for support
