And ofc: what a journey! Well done!

I think I gained a good 2 kg in the last month. Started the gym, but, I’ve been so occupied lately that I just couldn’t organize myself. And I’m already lousy when it comes to organizing. Not when I or - in the last five years- my son and I go traveling. There I’m super organized 
But I think I’m getting back on track.

I think I need to join you all here. I’m the heaviest I’ve ever been at 220 pounds. I’m 5’6”. Three years ago before I started drinking heavily I was 170 pounds and back then thought I needed to lose some weight. I’m only one week sober so giving myself a little leeway with my eating habits for now. Once I get past the withdrawal headaches I want to start exercising regularly. Right now my goal is to not gain any more weight over the holidays.

When I started my sober journey I found this app and the Noom app. The Noom app wasn’t free though. But worth it to me for 3/4 of the year. Keeping busy on this app and recording all my food intake calories on the Noom app kept me pretty busy instead of drinking. I lost 50 pounds. When I went out to dinner I was busy looking up food and how many calories everything had in it. And eventually recording it. I think it helped me a lot to get through those first few months.
Just learning the ins and outs of 2 apps kept me pretty busy. 
I hope you are well today and headache free. First morning in 3 days I haven’t had a headache.

Yesterday at the gym I saw a guy I know, and he pointed at me, pointed at his biceps and gave me a thumbs up and impressed face, so I flexed my tiny arm muscle for him and he said “Yeah! I see you, Jenny!” It made me feel so cool and good and strong! Even today I’m still thinking about it and smiling. None of my friends or family like exercising so it’s usually a solo mission, and while they all think it’s cool that I do it, since it’s not a thing for them don’t always feel like I have that much support or encouragement. Like talking to someone who doesn’t knit about a sweater you’re making, they can think it’s cool and great that you’re doing it but there’s not much investment since they don’t have the frame of reference or interest that comes from being actively involved in it? Anyway, I’m cool and have a visible arm muscle!
