I'm not overweight but I eat too much, and especially too many sweets since getting sober.

I keep thinking that I'll eventually stop craving ice cream and candy but it's been 21 months and I'm realizing this might be the new normal. I'm trying to exercise more reliably but, ironically, I was more dedicated in that regard during my drinking days. I think I exercised to compensate for the physical toll of drinking. Now I feel good all the time by comparison because I'm not hungover or drunk 24/7.
