I gained 70 lbs when I got sober. I gave myself permission to NOT look at the scale or freak out about it. Gaining weight doesn't ruin your sobriety - your self loathing over weight gain is what takes you out. Try being gentle with yourself. Tell yourself you are okay, and you are doing the best that you can. You can always, always lose the weight later on. I did! after I hit one year I said enough was enough and I started weight watchers and dropped a significant amount of the lbs I gained. I am very happy that I was able to just let the weight thing GOOOOOOOOOOO early on.
