Ontario. You?
Iām from Michigan
Does the weather suck there too? We just had a ton of snow over the weekend which made driving interesting. Winter definitely doesnāt help our current situation. I wish I had quit in the summer.
Its terrible! With the winchill itās below zero, we got a lot of snow over the weekend and looks like weāre only getting more, no it doesnāt help at all I canāt even go take a walk, me too wish i would have in the summer besides all the extra weight Iāve put on lolā:joy:
Me too. I have a bit of a belly now. Another problem the gym can address.
Ugh same Iām hoping that the gym helps I have been eating so healthy way better than when I was using but i cant stop packing on the pounds I donāt get it
Iām eating healthier too and not nearly as much but Iām pretty sure my appetite loss is a wd symptom . I think working out can get the furnace working again. But yeah even eating 1000 calories a day, Iām not losing weight.
Ugh tell me about it Iām hoping the weight is just part of wd and my body is just figuring stuff out and ill be back to normal soon
Yeah Iām so fixated on feeling normal but Iām not even sure what that is anymore. I know I used to wake up, get ready for work and be enthusiastic about the day ahead. I guess when that comes back Iāll feel better.
I just said the exact same thing the other day lol i donāt even know what normal is I feel like Iām going to spend a lot of time figuring out who I am
Yeh I sometimes give people 100 shots. Then Iām just letting myself down. I have a hard time forgiving if I donāt see progress in others I need to work on that. Im not a runner but Iāve worked at it. And now I can do it, not very well. But I do it. Great stress release.
Iām right there with youā¦i walk a lot and use the ellipticalā¦ did you build up to running? How long do you run for now? Iād love to eventually start running!!
Gf was on heroin , got clean her and i . Blessing from God ā¦ she states away tho, boohoo
Donāt know how to even send message correctly. M
Iāve always found hot baths super helpful. They help with the chills and body temperature fluctuations, muscle aches/pains and help me in general to relax. Sometimes I take 3 or 4 a day in those first few really rough days of WDL. Sometimes in the middle of the night. Whatever I need to do to get through those really painful moments where it feels like everything hurts and nothing helps. Hang in there. I know how youāre feeling and youāre a rockstar already for making the decision to take your life back.
Are you still here? Iām at day 16. Looking for advice.
Any specific advice?
Just wondering when sleeping gets easier and stamina gets better.
For me it was a few months. After I hit the 30 day mark I forced myself to be active every day and that seemed to help
