Two years ago, I quit smoking for 2 months and gained 20 pounds.  I am thinking of quitting again and I am scared to death of gaining weight.  I can't seem to fit an extensive exercise program into my schedule. I rise at 5:45am to get ready for work and have time to take my son to the babysitter. I work from 8am to 4pm Tuesday thru Saturday and have to travel an hour to and from work. I have a four year old son so when I get home at 5:00pm, I have to start cooking dinner, then give him a bath, I have about 30 to 45 minutes to play with him before I have to put him to bed. If I don't fall asleep with him trying to get him to go to sleep, then I clean up the mess from playing and cooking.  I usually get to bed about 10:00pm. 
  As you can see, there is no time. But at the same time, I don't want to end up huge either. I am only 5'3" and I already weigh 170 so I am already overweight. Any advise?
