loved the

smoking a cigar (not a euphemism)

(no homo)

I just quit 2 weeks ago, haven't smoked in 2 weeks. Haven't gone out yet though, but I think I can do it. I really really want to quit, and now that I've gotten past the physical addiction I have no reason to start again.

Good luck man, I found it pretty easy with patches.. if you're drinking you have to be very careful not to smoke one.. it's really easy to become a social smoker and then even easier to pick it up full time again.

welcome back

That extra weight you take after you stop smoking takes a long time to go away. Smoking is something that kills the hunger. When you stop you're stressed because of the need (both phys. and psy.) and you have more hunger than usually. That results in some food orgy. By the time you adapt (maybe a couple months) you can have easily gained 10kg. And these won't go away before a solid year of a stabilized food rhythm.

Man up and stop caring like a metrosexual fag about your weight if you really wanna stop.

"metrosexual fag"

wat

come on, diet and exercise ...

I lol'd :D

or just start wearing black t-shirts

I like blue better

i guess, you're not sitting in a wheelchair, so what's the problem with doing sport atleast till your body is kind of regenerated?

edit: hm, then i agree with you at "more was required"..

I'm sat down all day for work & studying, so I've really not got an active life. Doing more exercise would definitely help (currently 3 days / week).

Try Snus x) Its a good choice if you want quit smoking and very safe to.
But I dont know if you can get swedish snus in England, you will have to order it.

But patches or gum is probebly the best way to go.

Doesn't snus give you mouth cancer?

Anyways, patches worked last time, guess I'll stick to them :)

No Swedish snus dont give you mouth cancer but american "snus", chew and dip does.

No, it gives you gum disease though.

i quit about half a year ago gained 10kg+
i do fitness 3 to 4 times a week but still sometimes get the eat frenzy like when i smoked a joint
that and other shit makes me think my bodys protesting being healthy lol


i quit with Champrix cant find a non Dutch site for it tho

What's Champrix? Patches? E-Cig? Gum?

only english ref i could find

I think the extra weight is a small price to pay for not smelling and tasting like an ashtray.

Very true, but at least I fit in my clothes like I used too :)

or you stop being a lazy cunt and exercise and eat properly

"wow, I eat less when I smoke, lets tar my lung" awesome.

I would say I'm eating nearly exactly the same (give or take 100 calories).

But yes I will be trying to exercising more to keep off the weight when I quit smoking.

You don't gain weight just because u quit smoking :/ . You obviously ate more.

Smoking increases your metabolism, so you burn calories quicker.

I know ;). Still you ate more than usual.

lol @ that statement

?

Because you're already saying yourself that you're eating too much or exercising too little.

Just start running.

It is hard and it fucking cains you for the first few weeks but there is no better way to stay/get in shape.

Keep strong and stop caring about the extra weight. I quit last year in July (after nearly 15 years of smoking) and now I have an extra-weight of around 5 kg. But I really don't care about that. I am just happy that I no longer need this stinking shit. Finally I really know what freedom is about.

I feel bad for you people.

six16 is fat

If 11&1/2stone/73kg = fat then yes, else no.

actually slim.

Slim if i'm 6", but i'm 5'8", so if i put on any more weight I get a beer gut :<

Or you become more buff. Is this me or are you a glass half empty kind of a person?

Actually I'm the opposite.

I'm just stating facts.

Does "put on weight" mean specifically gaining weight in fat?

Serious question.

Yep

Then, you were evading giving a direct answer on why you thought of putting on weight before you thought of becoming more fit, based on a small inaccuracy =D

try this, bro

I don't understand how I'm not addicted to cigs. I've smoked them socially drinking for years and never once gotten a craving

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMhR2gfwFBI#t=02m35s

Why would you link to that fucking idiot?

1. He talks about smoking. 1.1 He's talking about not being able to get addicted (directly related to erok) 2. He's fat. 2.1 He's talking about fatness in relation to smoking (directly related to this whole thread).

2. He's fat. (directly related to you)

fixed that for you.

xD

Thats another thing I don't understand about my body. I've eaten unhealthily for my whole life, being well addicted to cheeseburgers myself, yet I don't gain a single fucking pound of fat. I didn't start gaining weight until I started lifting heavily and taking protein shit...

I share your genetical superiority. May I recommend nutritious food, green tea and creatine as well? It doth invigorate the likes of us into the realm of superhealth. :D

why is reaching a certrain strength only by supplements a genetical superiotity? my calves are as big as your head and i only did some football till i was 17 and the rest of my life i barely moved from the pc, that's what i call a superiority :P

Health has nothing to do with absolute strength. Green tea certainly won't give you any of that, and creatine has just as profound an effect on working memory as it does on muscle-volume. In terms of relative strength, which is a factor of health, i'm the same way as you. The point is that given these genes, when you supplement up, you reach insane levels of energy. Try eating lentil soup with tons of vegetables. Fucking blew my mind. People above average in anything sometimes automatically make less effort in that area; be it warding off disease, doing schoolwork, exercising, getting nutrition, not getting a hangover etc. ;)

i've tried creatine and it has no real physical effect on me, so i guess iam a non-responder, but i dont need to gain anymore. didn't know it increases your memory or anything related, ill read something more. i still eat and drink what i want and really do not think too much about nutrition, but stuff like a lentil soup is always tasty. i started a cardio in january, along with mediation ;) and lost about 15kg, am already in great shape,ripped feel perfect, and have no idea why would i need more physical energy(5'7"/181lbs) .still smoke, though.

I am a fan of green tea, although I wouldn't say I drink it daily. I also take creatine whenever I work out, although recently I haven't been as much due to some laziness and less time for it due to my work schedule. Really need to push myself to do it every day, so easy to run/lift when you're in the habit, and so hard to do it when you're not :( Eating nutritiously has always been hard for me, I enjoy plenty of nutritious food pretty regularly, but it's so hard for me to give up the shit food because I'm just a fat ass like that, and I fucking love food :D

Working out each day is impressive. I'll be happy if I get two days a week in. Maybe some meditation too. At least come around to the idea of eating healthy. My trust in dietary supplements was misplaced :D

Yea I really should try to eat healthier...I'll do it for a week or two then fall back in the routine of high fat calorie foods :(

Excercising every day is a really bad idea. You'll overtrain if you do that, and that'll get the exact opposite results of what you want.

I don't do it anymore, but when I'm in the habit I never do the same routine every day. Usually a mix of light to heavier cardio, and different forms of resistance training or lifting, obviously focusing on different parts of the body a couple days a week.

Even if you always do different parts of the body you'll still need at least 2 days rest every week. Otherwise you'll still get overtrained even though you're not training the same muscles two days in a row. =/

Yeah I usually only will lift or do resistance training 5 days a week, then 2 light cardio days in between. I think I do overdo it sometimes though, you're right about needing rest to regenerate. Just when I'm in the habit I have to do something everyday :P

ahahah nice :D

you could do cardio everyday no problem

You could but it's dumb and useless :/

same, also same w/ smoking thing.

hurray for amazing genetics!

That wont last 4ever trust me ^^

You're 22 bro. Wait until you're just a few years older, and your bad eating habits will start catching up to you, guaranteed.

There's no such thing as a 30-year-old that doesn't exercise but can eat anything and not get fat.

(edit) I used to be like you, and think like you, but then I got old.

Oh I'm not naive (in this matter, in others I know I am :)), I know for damn sure my metabolism will not last forever. But mine is more unusual than most 22 year olds...my father is the same way, hes 42, doesn't exercise or eat properly, and is still fairly skinny. He just has a tad bit of a gut, and I plan on exercising for the rest of my life...just the eating nutritiously thing is difficult :)

Doesn't matter. Fucking idiot. I fucking hate him and all people like him

Do you want to talk about it?

Yeah a bit but I won't, thanks for listening

I had to take a smoke break halfway through the comments. Oops.

just go and start to build some mass on your body.. just start pumping !
doing 8 reps for all exercises, eat a lot(good things)(carbs and proteine) maybe u will be 10 kg heavier in a 6 months but at least you got some muscles under the fat.. and after that just do a lot of cardio and diet.. tadaa arnold:) repeat repeat and repeat:)

u will be the next milfhunter;)

I quit last year cold turkey, but I did have one a week AGO due to... stress.
You should work-out regularly if you're having problems with weight..

You can also try e-cigs if you still want the nicotine with the cancer causing tar, I guess. That's isn't to say nicotine isn't bad though

I quit right before e-cigs came out. I used the commit lozenges which helped but it took a few tries. Just put it through your head that cigs suck. Way too many cons way too few pros. Go smoke weed instead. Use e-cigs as an aid until you don't even crave the fuckers anymore. It takes time and patience but do it before it gets too tough or late.

dude patches make you hooked MORE. nothing like getting it straight into the bloodstream with no hassle. why do you think cig companies sponsor all the 'quitting' programmes?

btw i have never seen a guy with extra 3 kilos, you are either fat, skinny, normal, or a fucking narcissist fag

oh and the best way to quit is to stop buying cigs even if you can afford them. if you want to smoke, bum one. the social awkwardness associated with begging for something gets linked with the habit in the back of you mind and now every time you crave you get put off by the need to go and bother someone
