I really recommend, due to you being in such early recovery, to NOT worry about dieting. That in of itself, is extremely stressful. If you want to be focused on losing weight, instead of making it a diet, which can be such a DOWNER (I can't have sweets, can't have fat, can't have alcohol, feel like I can't have a life thing), try a gym or swimming, biking, hiking, or simple walking. It's something you CAN do and is good for you at the same time. Try a couple sports like volleyball or softball or something like too. Anything is better than trying to quit drinking AND going on a diet at the same time. You'll feel like a million bucks too, after a good work out, walk, or game.
Hang in there! :ghug3
