Tell me about it. Quit smoking almost four weeks ago, can't stop eating since and already gained 5 kg
Hey you quit smoking! That's hard to do. You'll reach a balance but this Internet stranger is proud of you!
Not trying to one-up our friend up there, but I would just compare how fighting any addiction will take its own toll for a bit. In one year after quitting drinking, I went up to 200 from around 175, the heaviest I have ever been. It took a bit, but I am finally down to a healthy 185.
I think what I am meaning to say is that if you are battling an addiction of any kind, eating too much should be the least of your concerns. No cigs? No booze? That gallon of ice cream is OK to eat in a single sitting then. Learning to moderate food can come much later.
