Not going to give out numbers, but with my one year anniversary of my quitting smoking approaching I am beginning to wonder if it was worth it. I looked at the scale and literally wanted to cry.
My eating habits have not changed for the worse. My kids can tell you that. I eat a normal amount of food and I stay away from junk so why the fuck am I still gaining weight? No one seems to be able to tell me a fucking thing so maybe I'll just stop eating all together.
Have you tried calorie counting for a few weeks just to see what your range is?
I usually fall short of 1000 calories per day. I am aware that this is a problem because if you don't eat enough you can gain weight from that. I'm just not very hungry most of the time.

Learn what your base caloric requirements are for your weight and cut 500-1000 calories per day for 1-2 lbs per week weight loss. You'll need to adjust as you lose as your caloric requirements drop.
That's what's worked for me so far. Other than that, I got nothing.
I don't suppose you have an opportunity to see a nutritionist?
I can see a nutritionist at the Bariatric clinic. They put me on 1200 calories per day and I struggle to meet that now as it is.
Up until I quit smoking, I have never experienced this sort of problem before. And I'm frustrated because I don't have answers to what's wrong with me.
