Your experiences with weightloss (or not) in early recovery...

Hi all,

I was wondering what your experiences were with the weight put on during your drinking days. I put on a lot of weight over the last few years. Now that isn't surprising considering I was killing half of a large box of wine or a full big bottle of margaritas every single night. Additionally I would eat comfort food during my binges bc the booze would make my stomach hurt so bad. When you figure a few liters of wine plus bowls of fatty food 7 nights a week, it was logical that I got so big. But now I have been without that for 17 days and the scale has only moved 2 pounds. That just seems weird to me. I feel like I was consuming a pound a day of calories during my binges alone (in addition to eating normally throughout the day), so now that I am eating healthy the weight should be falling off.(???) Anyway, I am curious about everyone's experiences etc.....

Thanks!!

Carla
