Someone once said to me when i was moaning about gaining weight if i quit smoking,
They said -
think logically - how many men do you hear - even men with weight problems say that smoking helps keep the weight down ?.
I thought that was very interesting concept and would love to hear other peoples views.
After all, smoking and eating are complete opposites.
So why equate the both ? Because prehaps they are oral? then so is drinking. because smoking increases metabolism? - it does only slightly and not much to make a real difference.
And - when i smoked and gained weight - I never said to myself - why is this happening? I am a smoker - why have i gained weight? I shall use smoking to lose it
but yet when i quit - terrified of gaining weight - all because because i was not smoking.
Anyway - any thoughts?
