Bumping because I'm trying to quit smoking and I don't know how you stop smoking and not gain a fuckton of weight. Not even 4 hours since the last meal and I'm so fucking hungry.

I was there for a while. I quit smoking and lessen alcohol significantly by focusing my attention to something(workout & gaming) and replace the substitute(mineral water instead of beer etc..)

I advise you to pick up a routine in a gym and improve your health even better. It'll also help you to keep your shape. Replace your needs with extra healthy things(if you have to eat, eat healthy without excessive carbs etc..)

Ok for the first time in my life I have an intrinsic motivation to stop smoking so I probably will. On day 4 without a cigarette now, and I have to say nicotine withdrawal is a fucking joke.

Other than a mild headache on day 1 and 2 and some cloudiness during number crunching at work, the strongest "withdrawal symptom" for me has been... "yah I want a cigarette now". I feel ridiculous now, having cancelled all plans for the weekend and am taking a few days off work next week.

I apologize for being a bit condescending if anyone is genuinely hit hard by physical withdrawal symptoms (which I sincerely doubt), but I just can't get over how fucking mild quitting smoking has been.

Nicotine withdrawal is like a going on a fucking vacation to Guam compared to the gut-pitting withdrawal from heroin, where one's entire body is in constant serious pain from super-sensitive micro-tears in the muscles, to mention just one of the many hellish physical withdrawal symptoms that PEAKS for about a week and only then start to gradually subside. It's comparing a mildly annoying nuisance to a week of absolutely soul-obliterating bedside torture.

TL;DR: Don't be a pussy, quitting smoking is a total fucking joke. If you can't do it then it simply means the enjoyment you get from smoking outweighs all the concomitant negatives, or that you are part of the ~15% of the population that has an addictive personality and overindulges in other things like sex, chocolate, gaming, etc. anyway, in which case there isn't much hope for you and you're just inherently weak.

...if your last meal is 4 hours ago, it's time to eat again, isn't it? Rather look at what you're eating.
