I couldnm,t afford to lose anymore weight. Malnutrition went wIth alcoholism for me. I didn't eat when I was drinking, mostly couldn't eat much because my stomach was not in good shape. I would get hungry and think I could eat a lot, but one or two mouthfuls was all I could manage. I found eating interferes with drinking. I couldn't t drink much with a belly full of food.

As I recall, there weren't many over weight allies, at least newly sober ones, in the fellowship or rehab that I saw. We were mostly skinny shaking wrecks. Someone told me it was the modern illicit drugs that give you the munchies.
