My opinion

I agree with Breather and CarlosS, smoke free is suppose to be exactly that smoke free, if you have a puff then reset your clock.

weight gain is killing me

Well OK it's not killing me but I am getting very uptight about how much weight I have gained.  When I decided to quit I knew there would be weight gain, it happened in the past so I pretty well had to decide that I would have to just deal with it and once I started getting comfortable with my quit I would work on getting the weight off.
 
Well I am feeling better about my quit but this weight gain is just killing me, it's not that bad that I will start smoking again because I KNOW that the weight will not fall off if I start smoking, it will stay and then I will just be a fat smoker.
 
I have always watched what I have eaten especially during my quit because I knew I would gain plus I do Kickboxing 5 times a week and Karate 3 times a week so I think I get a lot of exercise.  I just don't know what to do, I can't just cut out food, do I buy new clothes and except that I am going to be this weight.  I could really use anyone's help on this
 
Did anyone of you gain a lot of weight, let's say around 20 pounds, and how have you drop the weight?
 
thanks for listening everyone I know it seems pretty petty to whine about your weight but it is really bugging me.
 
Later
Terry
