Weight??!!! - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

Latic · 07-18-2007, 06:42 AM

Hey Girlies, just a quickie. I am just over 2 weeks sober. During my drinking time I put on approx 3 stone (42 pounds). I was a lager drinker and my stomach is awfulv bloated and bumpy. Anyway, just wondering if anyone knows how long it takes for the weight to begin to go? Haven't lost a pound yet!!!! I am eating a reasonably healthy diet with plenty of water, but just seems strange to have lost nothing.

Any ideas or your experience would be greatly appreciated.

Many Thanks xx

i lost about 15 pounds when i first stopped drinking...it went off over a period of about 2 months.

congratulations on your 2 weeks!

Try a beginner's yoga or pilates class! The benefits are not only physical but mental and spiritual (haha I should take my own advice) Give it time.

5 ounds gained...3 pounds lost....natural...you are gonna go through some changes...the first year it is really quite enough to just focus on recovery...Nothing more just that...it will be a full plate....it will be that is if you put as much effort into your recovery as you did with drinking or using...

keep it simple.........but keep doin it
