I can relate to this last time I tried to quit...
I gained like 10 lbs in 3 weeks....and I was going crazy....I am not sure what caused mine...Mind you I was a street junkie before I got back here..and to eat again was AWESOME..but I craved sweets soooooooooooo badly...

Now this time..I am taking a different apporach...I am doing my daily walk of 7 klm a day..if the weather is rotten I jump on the treadmill...and I do a little light weights daily...No matter how yucky I feel

I soak in alot of hot baths...even if it be for 5 mins......I eat VERY WELL......and I take vitamins and I dont drink as much coffee...I switched to all sorts of teas...Which help I think...and I drink alot of water

When I reach for sweets (because lord I still do) I suck on hard candies that last a little bit..and I try to limit myself...

And...I havent gained any weight lol...acutally finally losing again lol
