No Smoke Software - Don't Gain Weight
No Smoke's "DON'T GAIN WEIGHT" section is designed to
show you how you can quit smoking without putting on pounds (or kilos if you prefer).
First you choose the "OUT" button to take the word "BLIMP" out of the
dictionary. Then you scroll through a number of tips on how to keep from turning into a
blimp.
Here are the first half dozen of the many tips:
- Don't look at your decision to quit smoking in isolation. It should be part of your
campaign to create a better, healthier you. As part of your plan to quit, you'll plan
activities to enhance your general health. This will include sensible eating. A sensible
eating plan will help protect you from accidentally slipping into poor eating habits when
you quit smoking, and that's what puts on the weight.
- In addition to sensible eating, add exercise into your daily routine. Don't overdo it.
Start small but be consistent. The exercise will help reduce stress, which may cause you
either to eat too much or to start smoking again. Exercise also helps even out the
metabolism, which helps you keep your weight down and makes it easier to quit smoking as
well.
- While you should make sure your diet is healthy, don't try too hard to lose weight at
the same time you're quitting smoking. Focus your mind, your plans and activities on
quitting smoking without gaining weight. You can go on that diet once you leave cigarettes
behind for good.
- Take in plenty of water or other non-fattening liquids. Water fills you up and cuts down
on both the need to smoke and the need (from nervousness) to eat.
- Make sure your meals are satisfying and well prepared. Spend more money on your food if
necessary (you'll save by not buying cigarettes). Make a point out of having regular meals
and not eating on the run. Use good silverware, cloth napkins, etc. Make a ritual out of
eating and refuse to eat unless the requirements of the ritual can be fulfilled.
- THINK before you eat. Do you really want that sticky cake any more than you thought you
wanted cigarettes? You can wait out your craving for something fattening just as you can
wait out your craving for a cigarette. The crisis will last five minutes; ten at the most.
Keep a diary of all the food you eat. Those fattening items can easily slip in if you
don't watch it. Keeping the diary will also make your eating more of a planned event, less
spontaneous.
