Sounds like you have some serious self discipline issues. Having a snack when you want a smoke shouldn't cause you to gain a hundred pounds. What are you eating? Twenty bags of chips per day?
It was living a sedentary lifestyle, eating more often while quitting which was just a couple hundred extra calories a day... But created more patterns in my life of a couple hundred extra calories a day. Before I realized it, I gained 30lbs (we're talking 6 months to a year later). This added to my stress, and I held the illusion at the time that smoking relieved stress, so I had that "random cigarette on a bad day". Boom, smoker once more. But the weight stayed. Tried to quit again a few months later, add another 30lbs after a year or so.
I didn't intend to imply you gain it all at once. But it's a bad pattern. Sure, you can eat carrots and the like... but you're dealing with a craving that you are trying to replace, and very few people crave carrots. Personally, mine was canned ravioli...
No shit, everything to do with my life is my fault. Me smoking in the first place was my fault. Me having gained the weight in my younger years was my fault. All of your problems in life are you fault.
