I picked up a whole lot of new bad habits when I gave up alcohol...the strongest of which is my addiction to sugar. Now, I've always had a sweet tooth but never like this! I eat chocolate and cake (I never even liked cake before!), ice cream and biscuits like a woman possessed!
And I can't moderate....hmm.
I've put on some weight, hasn't really bothered me too much because I've always been skinny, but my clothes are getting the teeniest bit tight now (as in I can't breathe or sit down!).
I will tackle this at some point, but you know it isn't likely to kill me, it doesn't cause me any anxiety, I don't wake up in the mornings filled with shame and regret, it isn't damaging my relationships.
So....I'm letting myself be for the moment.
You're doing great Ricky, one thing at a time x
