Down 26 lbs today over 78 daysā¦ about to hit my first semi-big goal which was get below 200 lbs by Jan 1 2023. Little over 2 lbs to go to break that barrier which Iāve not been below for 5 years! I got close a few years agoā¦ got hurt and once healthy again didnāt resume putting in the work!
Iām most proud so far that I worked thru a back injury that sidelined me from exercise for three weeks and once healthy again I successfully resumed putting in the work! Also just went out of town for a week and didnāt gain any weight during the trip! Just trying to do it one day at a time!

- enters thread with her tail between her legs *
Hiiii 
Ok so i miiiight have messed up a littleā¦ ok a LOT !
Damn im outta control!! 
I dont even know what my weight is im too scared to check right now 
i dont think its too crazy but ive easily gained like 30lbs since i was last on this thread. 
i think i lost 50lbs over all last time (by damn near starving myself im not gonna lieā¦) so least i didnt put all of it on right? Riiiiight!?
Well i am in a much MUCH better place now and i really want to tackle my issues with food/weight now im feeling over all more stableā¦ Iāve got a real messed up relationship with food/body image in general, i dont want to live like this but im also not happy with how i look and feel right now so i need to do something about it, so ive made this post for some accountability.
Im feeling gross after the Christmas period and have seriously overindulged, but i allowed myself to as i guesed it was better than drinking (always!) So I dont wanna beat myself up over it. Now its time to start taking care of myself properly. Its consistency i stuggle with it seems so hopefully posting here will help with thatā¦ weāll see anyway

Ok. Somehow this thread has managed to evade me since I started using TS almost two years ago. I thought something like this might be triggering for people with issues around eating. I am delighted to see that it exists since weight is a huge part of my journey, and a huge motivation for staying sober.
After initially gaining about 20lbs by replacing alcohol with sugary snacks (biscuits, chocolate, ice-cream, etc.), I managed to get a handle on things after around 8 months. The clarity of thought that not drinking gave me, and the strength and the confidence that I gained by not drinking was instrumental in this.
I now eat Whole Foods as far as I possibly can and have cut out processed sugar as far as is possible in our culture - since it is in so many things. This, coupled with 10,000 steps every single day, has meant that my weight has gradually edged down to where I want it to be. I do not feel that I have deprived myself at all during this time. I fill up on nuts and berries whenever Iām hungry.
My issue now is knowing when to stop. I have seen family this Christmas who have told me that Iāve āgone too farā and that I look unhealthily thin. I disagree with this, but I donāt want to just dismiss it out of hand.
I have just realised that this is a check in thread, and I donāt want to derail it, so if you have a response, feel free to PM me.

You say your weight loss was very gradual which is great, but family that you havenāt seen in a while will probably see it as more dramatic and therefore problematic. Is your BMI and other measurements within the healthy range? And your calorie intake reasonable for your activity level? If so, you should be absolutely fine.

I think theyāre ok. Iām away from my Wi-Fi scale at the moment, so this data is a couple of weeks old. I donāt think itās gone down over the last couple of weeksā¦
Youāre right. I donāt see family for most of the year. Thanks for your response. Sorry for derailing.

So proud of myself tonight. Got home late and didnt wanna cook. I was gonna go easy and order a pizza. BUT i ordered grilled shrimp and a salad!
I made this decision to control my portions, improve quality, and get moving before new yearsā¦so this isnt a new years resolution that will ultimately fade but just like my sobriety it will become my new way of living

I started last year 128 kgs drunk stoned depressed and suicidal.
This year Iām clean and sober nearly 5 months. It took a couple of goes but Iām there. Working hard and now 90.1 kgs
And the happiest Iāve been in a very very long time.
Question. Does the saggy skin and stretch marks dissipate? And is it possible to loose to much to fast. As the loose skin is a little yuk and does affect my self confidence

I love reading stories like yours. What a difference a year can make. Outstanding.
I am finding that the loose skin does sort itself out to an extent over time - particularly on the face. I used to be so embarrassed about my droopy drinkerās face because I knew that it betrayed my grubby little secret. I mean, Iām not expecting a cover shoot any time soon, but it is definitely better. Our bodies are amazing at repairing and regenerating, which they try to do every day - we just foil them with that daily dose of poison.
So many things that I thought were a function of my age were actually as a result of my daily dose of poison. I reckon I am healthier today than I was 15/20 years ago. I thought I was just getting old. Turns out I was actually just poisoning myself.

Down 3lbs since last wednesday!!! Moving more and keeping a food journal. Im cautiously optimistic. Im not gonna check the scale everyday because it can easily become an obsession for this alcoholic.
