It was the right decision, without a doubt. Many people have the response you are experiencing. The oral sensation you used to have with the cigarette in the mouth is replaced by eating. Feeling depressed also makes many people eat more. See your doctor and call the local chapter of the American Lung Association. The ALA can direct you to resources that combat the urges you feel. When eating, replace the craving with healthy snacks like vegetable and fruits. They fill you up with far fewer calories. You also get the oral sensation pleasures that cigs used to. Hang in there, you are experiencing a normal reaction to smoke ending.

Hooray! Good for You......don't regret it, you can work out and lose the weight and once you get it in your head it's the right decision, the depression will go away.
I'm PROUD of you.

I believe it was the right decision. I am going through the same thing. Instead of eating when you need a fix try walking. Exercise naturally makes a person feel better. Hang in there!!

Yes. Congratulations.
When you feel the need for one, go for a walk. By the time you get back, the craving should be gone. And you will lose a bit of weight while you're at it.

absolutely. If you are needing help with depression and weight gain, talk to smokenders or some support group. There is help for this!

You are more likely to become a healthy adult instead of a dead cancer victim.
Eating disorder will pass as will your depression. Hang in there,

didn't you know that smoking creates weight loss?
Stay the course, you're on the right track. You should be happy.

You can always lose weight but you can't reverse lung cancer! You did something so many people have tried and failed at so many times.(I am one of them) Congratulations! Please stick to it! I hope you understand how amazing it is that you quit!
