Vanity is keeping me sober today.

I have lost weight since putting down the bottle 20 days ago and it is keeping me sober today. I gained almost 40 pounds in the last 2 years and I am ready to get rid of it!

I know I have to focus on the good in my recovery so today I am enjoying pants that aren't so tight and brighter skin!

I am down to losing my last 2-5 pounds and that loss (over 20 pounds) is almost all due to quitting drinking, plus I have a nicer, flatter tummy (no more bloat). It feels good to feel good all of the way around! Here's a crystal glass of water with a lemon wedge, to healthier, more beautiful, more radiant us!!!

I love this reason for being sober. Loosing the bloat is fantastic! I haven't stepped on a scale in a while but I can tell my body changes a lot while sober.

I'm was as vain as they came in the beginning. I dreamed of all the Botox and shoes I could afford when I first quit. Then it just naturally turned into this thing where I absolutely fell in love with myself because of nothing to do with my outsides.

Just wait Anchorbird! Just wait till you fall in love with the real you!

Ain't nothing more beautiful than a person comfortable in their own skin and loving themselves just the way the cosmos made them!!

Oh I still like a fabulous pair of shoes now and then but that's all they are. Just shoes

Way to go on the 20 days!!!
