I wasnt underweight while drinking, but I wasnt eating much. Many days I was hungover and working like a dog at my stressful position at the time in super corporate world, so in terms of calories it was less. The first thirty days of sobriety were largely spent awake (very little sleep at night) and I did eat sugar (ice cream, chocolate) to stave off cravings.
The last few months my diet has been restrictive again but still Ive gotten puffier.
Hoping my new super clean diet works.
Cant deal with feeling uncomfortable in my clothes and in my skin AND fend off alcohol cravings (although those have subsided thank God)
