Were you underweight when you quit? I'm also concerned about weight and a huge reason I'm quitting is because I've gotten too big for my liking. I'm just now outside my BMI healthy range and the last time I was there was two weeks after I gave birth.

I do know healthy eating and not starving yourself is better in the long run. What was your diet like when you quit? Was it pretty sparse except for the wine?

For me, I have always eaten regularly so I never received alcohol calories for food calories. Hence, I ate a lot more calories so mine will be a deficit. Plus I just took myself off some medication that made me gain 10 lbs. in a few months with a ravenous appetite, so that is where a lot of mine came from.

The adage seems to be those that overindulged (especially with junk food) and drank lose weight while those that used alcohol instead of food gain weight. Do you see this as true in your case?
