I haven't lost any weight since quitting drinking. I have been sober about 70 days, have been eating healthy food and exercising, but actually GAINED three pounds this past month. (In addition to the 40 I gained while being a binge drinker) DEPRESSING!
I am also in my 40's so that may have something to do with it. Hoping the metabolism speeds up as my exercise regimen is increased. Overall I feel healthy and better but really dislike that I feel so blubbery and probably look like a fat slob. I just want to fit into my old clothes again and feel normal.
