Haha me too
I'm back to day one now, but I think when I started trying to overcorrect my weight gain with unhealthy restricting is when everything fell apart for me. Lessen learned!!

You can start an exercise program to lose some weight, if that's what you want to do. Congrats on ten months sober!

I have the opposite problem. I gain tons of weight while I'm drinking and slim out alot when I'm not.

Hi waterlogged. I gained during the first year too, mostly from sweets which I craved. I got it all under control though. I'm sure you're just fluffy.

Who cares right? Your sober...and the time will come when you want to exercise..not just to lose weight..but to enjoy MORE sobriety...

I was sober about 5 years before I wanted to exercise...walks and light weight lifting..till then ENJOY your sobriety and your FOOD.
