Looking for support, I just quit smoking and now I'm afraid that I'll want to eat everything in sight. Please help me lose weight and stay away from cigarettes.

I knew too that when I decided to quit - food might become an 'issue'. However, I also told myself that I was going to do what was needed so that I would not go back. I answered my cravings with candy canes...yes...candy canes...many, many candy canes. I don't really recall (this happened 20 years ago) gaining weight - probably became more active too and ta-da....it worked! I finally did it. Became easier each day. Make new habits and of course try (better than what I chose to do with the candy!) to start incorporating new healthy things that you actual enjoy:)
Good luck - Making a 'real' serious decision is really the most important thing to keep you going. Know it's going to 'suck' - but it will be SOOO worth it.

I quit smoking just over a month ago and there was definitely an indulgent period, haha. I find going for brisk walks, and staying super hydrated help. Also set some achievable goals to keep you distracted!0
