Quitting is a very important health choice, yet the smoker often has a struggle between that desire to put out the last cigarette and the attachment to that habit, which you associate with the power of custom. Quitting smoking has many physical health benefits, but it also has financial benefits. This decision encourages savings! Some people worry about putting on a few extra pounds, but quitting smoking makes you fat: myth or reality? In this Psychology-Online article, we reflect on this question.
The mind can be the main enemy of the smoker who observes how his own inner struggle between quitting tobacco or not, boycotts his ability to succeed. Or, also, it may happen that the person demotivates himself by doubting his own ability to achieve this goal. Through a coaching process, the person can strengthen their mind by connecting with the firm commitment to quit this habit.
In addition, a process of these characteristics increases the personal resilience of the smoker who uses his internal resources to achieve the goal of quitting tobacco once and for all. Therefore, the chances of success when quitting smoking without gaining weight are greater when the smoker does not withdraw into himself to achieve this goal, but has a support network.
