I Thought Losing Weight Was Difficult When I Was Drinking
I don’t now.
Frustration
This time last year I was hefty. Not massive, but realistically about 2 stones overweight. I was conscious of my belly buldging out over my jeans and ashamed of my flabby arms. I was disappointed it just wouldn’t shift, despite me trying really hard.
I went to the gym 4 times a week, flinging myself around the studio doing fat-burning aerobics/dance-type classes, and walked my dog for miles every day. I tried keto diets, intermittent fasting, ate loads of salad, vegetables, and fruit, but just couldn’t get beneath 13 stone.
It was frustrating.
Do you think empty calorie consumption may be playing a part?
I did suspect that my alcohol consumption may be contributing to it, but red wine is good for you, right? I didn’t drink every day, and everyone deserves a treat now and again. Plus I knew loads of skinny people who drank, so it couldn’t be that fattening could it?
Earlier this year back in March, I gave up drinking thinking I would try out sobriety to see how it fitted me.
It was time.
