Siletz Community “Cha-may weeya ” Health Clinic Medicine Talk Stop Smoking? How Can I Stay Trim? So you plan to quit smoking, but you don’t want to gain weight. Isn’t that a big fear for smokers? The concern about gaining weight often becomes a hurdle for smokers who want to quit. Some refuse to quit because they’re afraid they’ll gain weight. Some return to smoking after they stop for awhile because think they would rather smoke than gain weight. Tobacco companies would like you to believe that smoking is the way to be glamorous and thin. Take a close look at the tobacco ads the next time you’re thumbing through a magazine. Pay attention to the underlying messages in those ads. It’s true that some people do gain weight when they quit smoking. When you quit, your metabolism goes back to normal and you can combat this change with exercise. It’s also believed that smokers might eat less because they can’t really taste the food. When you quit, you get your sense of taste and smell back. This can make food taste and smell better and you may want to eat more. Try to eat healthy portions and healthy foods to combat this. You also may crave sweets more when you quit. It’s believed that nicotine affects the level of blood sugar (glucose) in your body, therefore nicotine withdrawal may trigger cravings for sweets. Combat this by being aware that this may happen and try to avoid high-calorie and high-fat sweets. The truth is that you’re never better off smoking. It may take some effort, but you can quit smoking and control your weight. Ten Steps to Keep Weight Off 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) 6) 7) 8) 9) 10) Make not smoking your No. 1 priority Exercise regularly Monitor your weight Know what you’re eating Eat well-balanced meals regularly Reduce the amount of fat in your meals Snack healthy Avoid sweets and alcohol Make healthy choices when eating out Eat slowly - take at least 20 minutes Controlling your weight and quitting smoking isn’t always easy. If you do gain, don’t be discouraged. You’re likely to gain only 5 or 10 pounds. You’re also very likely to lose any weight you gain within a three- to six-month period, the amount of time it may take you to gain control over your habit. You’re learning new habits and that can take a little time. Remember that you can always lose weight if you’ve gained, but you can’t always lose cancer if you get it from smoking.

We will miss him, but he will not be forgotten. “May God Bless.” Maude Lane and Gladys Bolton Again we have lost one of our dear elders with the passing of Madge Mason. She was an integral part of our elders group, being vice chair for a number of years and also treasurer with myself for many years. She was very visible over the years at our elder functions, working the table at our baked food sales and selling raffle tickets at our pow-wows. She gave unselfishly of herself. We were lifelong friends and she was very dear to me. I am so thankful that I was so privileged to have such a friend. She will be gone from sight, but in our hearts forever.
