If he really did tell her that then he is stupid!!

You may be gaining weight cos you substitute smoking with eating so watch what you eat ok?

i asked my doc about stopping smoking and he said maybe now isnt the right time......i think maybe he wasnt saying it was healthy but that stopping might hinder progress of getting better as its difficult and stressful already without the nicotine cravings

The reason you put on weight has nothing to do with stopping smoking - that is a myth. It is because you substitute smoking with eating.

I did this when I gave up drinking - I was hungry all the time and substituted drinking with eating [}:)]

Hi

That's crazy! I can't believe a doc would tell someone to smoke! I smoke about 5 a day, but sometimes i don't smoke at all and when i haven't smoked for a long while (couple of months or something) i've found i haven't put on weight but i do find myself holding a choc bar or something moreoften than usual. Try and get your ma to hold a pen or a squeezy thing, a bean bag animal or something. sounds silly but ifyou play with something it keeps your hands occupied. Doesn't work with everyone but i found it helps me!

Keep up the good work!
