Stopped smoking and I cannot stop eating. Today has consisted of:
cashew nuts
friend egg barm
bacon & egg on toast
skittles
pumpkin spiced frappucino
krispy Kreme donut
monster munch
hula hoops
squres crisps

It’s only day 2 and it’s been a HUGE struggle today. I’ve done a healthy meal plan for the week and ordered online shopping. But I don’t know how I am going to curb the hunger.
weight gain has led to me relapsing before because I’d rather smoke than put on weight 🤦🏻‍♀️
Any tips to manage cravings / not eat everything in sight gratefully received

I found smints (and the aldi fakes) very helpful for this. Something in my mouth which wasn't calorific. I also occasionally 'smoked' on pens, i can't explain why thay helped 😅

Well to add to my comment, I gave up smoking after having a 20 a day habit for 15 years and lost 4 stone in the same year.

Are you using nicotine replacement?
can you find some low calorie foods such as rice crackers they are 30 calories but feel substantial.

I also lost weight when I quit smoking. Not loads but about 10lbs

I gave up by using Champix. Put me off eating as well as smoking!
