Hello, loseit. Now normally, with discussions of these two subjects in my life, I would obviously prioritise alcohol abuse as a more pressing issue. But! I've just stepped on the scales this morning and feel the need to post here.
I'm in recovery at the moment, and I'm doing ok. I've only got a week under my belt because relapses are a bitch, but I've been managing to keep them small (i.e. relapse days, not relapse weeks.) Within the last few months, I've hardly changed my eating habits at all. Y'know, because managing an addiction is stressful enough. But for the longest time I was yo-yoing between 286-291lbs and never going anywhere else.
Well, after a few months of very small relapses rather than long ones and no changed eating habits, I've decided to get back into CICO as a means of hopefully bringing order back as a priority in my life. Well, I stepped on the scales expecting the usual. Only to read that I'm down to 272lbs. Just from keeping my relapses short. Nothing else! Imagine how much progress I could make if I actually stayed sober and counted my calories...
I have a real problem with alcohol. Not just in the addictive sense, but in society's perception of it's value. Order a huge slice of chocolate cake at the bar and you're a pig, but a few vodka and cokes, you're just having a good time! Take a beer in the shower and you're cool as fuck, take a curry in the shower and you're bizarre. But the calories are exactly the same. Only, curry and cake will have some nutritional value. Alcohol won't.
Anyway, thanks for being here loseit and thanks for supporting so many people through the journey!
