Im quitting smoking...

Strange, usually when you smoke, you lose weight as you don't eat much. At least that is what I noticed with my parents and my wife, who quit when she ment me. She has since gained some weight, but has a major thyroid problem from her last pregnency.
Well, when you smoke cigarettes some say it is an appetite suppressant. I would always just have a cig before and after a meal, not in place of 1 lol. Also when you smoke you're heart rate is increased, so your metabolism is slightly increased. I remember reading heavy smokers burn about 200 more calories a day than non smokers.

Screw that, though. The health risks far outweigh the small positives smoking brings. I remember my first day at the gym I couldn't run for 5 straight minutes at a steady pace on a treadmill without coughing until I was on the verge of death haha

This is true. My parents would smoke a cigg and then either barely eat or not eat. Same with the wife. So I hear you there.

Also of course smoking would deffintley outweigh saving on 200 calories a day.

Hell I don't even smoke and get winded, but that is because I am a fat arse! Although I have lost 80 pounds over a year and a half.

I should do a study. Maybe pick up smoking and work out and see what gets me winded faster, being over weight or smoking, lol!

 
you're doing fine man. yeah the first days is going to be shitty but think of it this way. imagine what the people go through when they're quitting heroin cold turkey.. lol. find something to munch on like sunflower seeds or pistachios. something that keeps your hands and mouth busy.
