A follow up to my previous meme - https://lemmy.ca/post/58415099

All I've done is stop ordering takeout, stopped making giant suppers an hour before bed and just eat healthier and smaller meals in general. Also I only eat once per day at supper time, so I guess that's intermittent fasting I think? Didn't even plan to do it, but I'm feeling so much better about myself.

Also helps that I've never been a very food motivated person so it's easy for me to ignore my stomach all day until supper. Now if I could just cut out alcohol I would be really happy with how I look. The one thing that's making me stay a bit chubby 😭

Congrats!!! That's amazing

I've lost ~80lb (5'6", sw 250, cw 169) over the last couple years.

You've got this!

    Congrats! I'm ~20lbs down since I started trying to lose weight again and ~50lbs from my peak weight.

    ngl I haven't noticed a difference at all, but I did have to use a knife to make a new belt hole on my belt 😭

    Thank you!

    I'm down to 160, I think my peak weight was around 220 or so. My belt is stupidly long now, gonna buy a new smaller one so the end doesn't wrap almost to my ass anymore πŸ˜‚

    Hell yeah good work! And I get it on the alcohol part, I think when I abstained for a month i dropped like 10 pounds (that I gained back immediately after because summer is still stout season damnit) keep it up friend

    I completely get it, when you're used to drinking booze constantly it's hard to take a break.

    I'd be happy if I last till Wednesday tbh, I'm gonna do my best to have a sober week but it's gonna be tough.

    All the best to you! All anyone can do is their best and learn from their mistakes.

    Absolutely, and that's the hardest part for me. Life kinda sucks for me rn so it's how I cope. When I don't drink I just feel bored and nothing interests me. Had only one sober day in the last month. I'm not getting wasted everyday of course, I make it to work on time and put in a good shift, but still it's way too much.

    Gonna stay sober this upcoming work week for a change cause I felt so much better after being sober for even 1 day. Taking things one step at a time to better myself.

    You got this. When I'm backing off my favorite next unhealthy thing, I read, walk, doodle, color, sing, clean, play with the fur baby, whatever I can get away with in the time and setting.

    Drink Vodka Soda; it's called Skinny Bitch for a reason.

    That's my go to for many reasons. Low calorie, no added sugar, hydrates you better, and helps you avoid a hangover. Also, imo vodka is the only liquor where I can drink the cheap shit without noticing a difference, so I can order well at a bar and save a few bucks, or drink Kirkland when I'm at home.
