I decided I had to quit drinking on Nov 11th. I am an alcoholic. I thought once I quit, the weight would fall off. WRONG!! I crave sugar so bad. I have gained about 5 lbs. Some say I shouldnt be trying to lose weight now. But I think its the perfect time. I need to stay busy. I need to take care of myself. What better way than to combine great, healthy food with exercise? I have to do something POSITIVE.
I am proud of what I am accomplishing by moving towards sobriety. Alcohol was ruining my life and killing me. So, I guess, in a way, I want to do the opposite and improve my life and live.
Anyone else going through this?
