-Does the fear of gaining weight
keep you from quitting smoking?
'Or did you take up smoking again
because you gained a few pounds?
You're not alone. For many women
being able-tocontrol their weight is
a much stronger motivator to
smoke than is the reduced risk of
contracting a disabling disease
many years in the future a motiva-
tor for -not smoking. But the truth
is you're never better off smoking,
and it is possible to quit smoking
and stay trim. How? Start to exer-
cise regularly. Thcrc arc both physi-
ological and psychological reasons
why it works.
When you smoke you may think
it is calming you down, but in fact,
the nicotine in your cigarette is ac-
tually speeding up your metabo-
lism (the rate at which your body
burns calorics). When you quit
your metabolism slows down
again which is why you may gain
some weight. Even eating- Tess
may not necessarily help since too
little food-may-slo •.ur me
)ism further. But exercise helps in-
crease the rate that your body burns
fat naturally; increasing your level
of activity helps you kccp your
weight where you want it to be so
you'll feel better mentally and
physically.
When you quit smoking your
sense of taste and smell will proba-
bly improve making food more de-
sirable and your chances of overeat-
ing greater. Regular exercise helps
to control your appetite making it
easier to say "no thanks" to extra
helpings and bigger portions.
If you find that your stress level
has increased since you've quit
smoking or if you normally find
coping with day to day stress diffi-
cult, regular exercise can give you
an outlet for your huilt-up tensions
and cmotions. Finding an activity
or activities that you'll enjoy par-
ticipating in regularly can help you
feel relaxed, refreshed and ready to
face anything that comes your
way. Exercise can be "your acc in
the hole" whcn things start to get
hectic. But remember, it can only
help if you participate regularly!
Deep breathing, involving long,
slow inhalations and deep, com-
plete exhalations, can also be a
"lifesaver" when your stress level
gets out of hand. Practice your
deep breathing technique and use it
often. It's free, can be done any-
where from the bathtub to your car
to a high pressure meeting, and
best of all : it works!
Because smoking can become
such an ingrained habit in -a smok-
ers lifestyle, some smokers can
only be successful at quitting by
replacing cigarettes with a substi-
tute behaviour. Unfortunately, in
some cases, cigarettes arc replaced
with high -calorie, "empty" snack•
foods that,can definitely contribute
to weight gain. The key to being
successful at quitting cigarettes and
maintaning your weight is to ex-
ercise regularly. It doosn't.havc to
be strenuous or exhausting. Try
dancing, walking, curling, cross
country skiing or any of your fa-
vourite activities. A brisk 15 -
minute walk can leave you feeling
relaxed and ready for a good night's
sleep.
Don't let your concern about
weight get in the way of a healthier
you. YOU can quit smoking and
stay trim. Drop the smoking habit
and pick up a new habit like exer-
cise, even if it's just for the health
of it! If you need help getting start -
