As much as I love the fact that I'm now smoke free and feeling better, I just hate the one down side of  giving up and thats the weight gain 😞 

IT'S SOOOOO UNFAIR !!!!!!!!!!!

It's hard enough and stressful enough to quit without the added job of trying to keep a healthy weight too.

But I would still rather be smoke free and N.O.P.E !!!!!! 

Sorry Folks just need to vent and let some steam off !!

Well, the bonus is that if you decide to lose it the cardiovascular way (instead of just dieting or what-have-you) you'll be amazed at how much better your body performs; I swam two minutes under my personal best the other day, and I hadn't swam in a while. I was so happy!

Well done for keeping at it! It is an unfair side effect but if you can beat the cigs, you're certainly able to knock off a pound or two with no sweat when you're ready - way to go for all the hard work you've ALREADY accomplished! Woo!

When you are ready, you will do something about the weight.  Maybe this link will help:
