Will I Gain Weight if I Quit Smoking ?

Look, I Used to Be Morbidly Obese (Weighed The Most 312 Lbs. in 2009)

I Crash Dieted and Lost It All, Developed Anorexia and Dropped Down to 97 Lbs.

The Way I Beat Anorexia in January of 2012 Was By Forcing Myself to Eat Cookies

I''m Now at a Healthy 142 Lbs. Average Healthier Than Most 20 Year Old''s My Age

I am Considering Quitting Smoking (1 Pack Per Day Smoker Right Here)

to Save a Little Bit of Money and Maybe Tryout for The Boston Fire Department (MAYBE) or Join the U.S. Navy (If I Can Pass The ASVAB)

Anyway, I Have Heard a Lot of "Hearsay" That If You Quit Smoking You Will Gain Weight

Now, I Still Have a Touch of Anorexia I Do Have Crash Days to Maintain My Current Weight and Still

am Afraid to Consume to Many Calories (It''s Just Imprinted in Me Now)

My Question is, Will I Really Gain Weight By Quitting Smoking ?

I Definitely Don''t Want to Do That, I Feel That Possibly If I Would Replace Cravings With a Bottle of

Water That Wouldn''t Make Me Gain Weight But I Just Don''t Want to Gain Any Weight

It''s Just Something I am Afraid Of, I Have No Idea as to Why, But I am

So,..Any Truth in That "You''ll Gain Weight" Thing ?
I Don''t Want to Hear Anything Like "Either Way, Quitting is Good" Blah Blah Blah, I Don''t Want to Hear it, I Only Want to Know if I''ll Gain Weight

Some people do but some people don''t. A lot depends on if you replace smoking with sweets, drinks or food - so if you DON''T start taking in a load of extra food or drink then of course you won''t put on weight !

• when you quit smoking, you need to excercise daily and eat healthy, nutritional foods. if you dont, then you''ll put on alot of weight from all junk.
• Make a habit of working out and aerobic exercise instead of smoking. you will not gain weight if you do this, and you will greatly improve your chances of getting into the fire department. Good luck, GW
• Once nicotine works it''s way out of your system - your appetite will increase.
  You can handle it if you eat H E A L T H Y - and not pig out on junk food & fast food garbage.
  
  If you start snacking on everything in sight - then - yes - you will gain weight.
