Hi, At my heaviest I was 21st 7lb but when I was 18 I moved out of my parents house and got my own flat. While I was there I only had the money to eat once every 2 or 3 days and was becoming heavily malnourished. As a result of this I ended up becoming 15st 0lb and moved back in with my parents due to not being able to live under such conditions. I was a smoker for 5 years, but decided to give up when I moved in with my parents due to the fact that I wanted to become as healthy as possible. Ever since I stopped smoking 5 months ago I've noticed my weight slowly increasing even though I eat 1 meal a day and sometimes an occasional chocolate bar, which isn't really very much compared to my skinny friends. Now I've suddenly gone from 15st and getting to my target of 12st (I'm 6'2'' so 12 stone is around the right weight for my build) to 19st 4lb. Is this normal? Should I go back to eating less? Or is it due to stopping smoking because I've heard before that giving up can increase your weight. Thanks in advanced - Stuart
