Introducing myself

I have been kinda of a lurker but not very active. I wanted to introduce myself.  I am a work in progress. 

I am back on track. I want to be healthy. Even though i have regained at least 50 lbs In the last 8 and half years I have still made some healthy changes. I did not stop smoking after surgery but 4 years later i finally kicked the habit. I always exercised to this day so that is a plus. Now i wanna talk about Drinking alcohol as it became a huge issue  i battled this for about 4 years until one day i said enough is enough.

We are usually warned about what to expect with our physcological issues but if you were like me i just figured it wasnt a problem. My other addiction was drinking diet coke. I withheld it for the first year after surgery but it returned full force as i was drinking nearly 100 oz a day and no water. That was all in the past.  Well so it has been 3 weeks i have officially weened of diet coke. I needed to make that change before i could get my mindset to get back on track.

The changes i am making are:

I attend zumba 1 hr every tue and thurs

Joined the gym working out with personal trainer mon wed fri

I eat fairly well and choose healthy and have never vomited

I stopped the diet coke 

I Drink lots of water

I stopped drinking while eating which is the biggest problem for me. 

I really need support and i think that is what we are all searching for. Good luck everyone on our journey of recovery. 

I hope i can inspire others to be strong to reach our goals. Friends welcome 

Hello,
I've been on & off OH for the past 8 or 9 yrs. total.
It sounds like you are BOT for sure! Congratulations. You have made some excellent decisions when it comes to battle. Beverages and food choices and beloved Exercise! Drinking alcohol is/ and now that I think about was my downfall to continued weight loss when I hit my plateau & got stuck, way back then & now too. It's the ultimate sabotage when it comes to losing weight, so I have to choose wisely. What do i want more!? Well both. I want to lose weight & drink my spirits too!! but i know they don't work together I can't have them both.
I wish YOU MUCH! Success.
