Eating all of the bad foods..
Ok - not literally, but I'm definitely cutting myself some slack on the food front right now. I'll give that a few more days before I stress about it and dial it back in. But darn those peppermint m and m's are good! :-). (And so was the spinach and tomato white pizza at lunch :-)

when I first got sober I ate more chocolate in a year than I had the previous ten combined... by far

Lol. My guess is it's likely a wash on calories. I figure most days I consumed minimum 600 easy just in alcohol. Gadzooks.
Ice cream I can usually do without ... Chips or pizza though? Watch out

I think I should buy stock in Ben & Jerry's. Like Brain said, I've eaten more ice cream since quitting than in my entire life. It's evened out since when I first quit. I've gained weight but I could handle that since I drank most of my calories before.

Ice cream and Skittles ruled my house for the first few weeks. I still keep a few pints of ice cream in the freezer at all times for when I need a fix. I didn't used to be a sweets person but once I got sober my sweet tooth came on full force!

Wait, where did you get those m&ms!?!?! I found them in Taiwan last month and I thought it was an Asia thing as I had never seen them back home! Maybe I am just blind.
I also cut myself a lot of slack on food when I first quit. Whatever helps!

Same goes at present - normally I'm obsessed with healthy eating but trying to relax on any obsessions altho presently sugar and carbs are in the driving seat, 2 chocolate bars last night was not too great but not beating myself up about it for the time being.
