Is weight normal after quitting

Is weight normal after quitting

I know this might be a stupid question, but wondering if anyone else that has been clean for a few months has gained weight.  Since quitting, I have gained over 15 pounds in 9 months.  I started off at 135 and now up to about 150. What the heck. It won't stop and wondering if this is just a side effect from stopping.  I am pretty active but get these stupid cravings for junk food that I never used to eat.  Just wondering if it has happened to other people or do I just have to up my trainning.

LOL     I gained weight;about 15 lbs.   But,I weighed 102lbs,thought I looked wonderful,and really looked like I was dying. Which I was....
I fell in love with chocolate and anything salty...naturally!

I'm watching it now...but I'd rather be clean than skinny.    :)

YES i have gained uh  maybe 20 pounds, clothes don't fit, ughhh...my mother in law cooked lunch every day (they live in the country) so you know pretty much what I ate.  And I loveee food, always have.  I am a Taurus, and I blame it on that lol...we gorge on life supposedly haha...but, I have started walking and eating better things.  I am a cookie freak.  Always have been, cant eat just 1 or 2.  Anyway, yes, your senses all come back and mine did with a vengeance!!

I have gained a few pounds, I would say it is from the candy cravings I have at all hours!  I have often heard that people with an Oxy problem or a herion problem will eat a lot of sugar when detoxing.

I've gained some weight too due to junk food craving. I've been clean just over 4 months, I was told this is normal. Better to be a little chubby than to be doped up all the time...

Thanks guys at least I am not the only one.  It is taking me a long time to try to lose this weight.  I do have a lot of sugar craving something I never had before.  But like some of you said, I would rather be a little chubby that addicted to drugs again.
Ha and michelel, I am a Taurus  also so I am gonna blame it on that to..
