Day 30
Hello!
Well, today is an entire month that I haven't had a drop of alcohol! What an accomplishment for me. It feels good. But, I have not lost a pound yet!!! So, today, I am joining Weight Watchers. It's time!
Since I am an "all or nothing" person (hello wine!) I need portion control. The first two weeks of being alcohol free I let myself eat whatever I wanted. I was just trying to deal with my will power. It was fun not caring about what I ate. Cadbury eggs are my absolute favorite and I was devouring them (no wonder why I couldn't lose weight!) But seriously, I was taking in an extra 6500 calories a week in wine (see post Day 15 - weight loss and wine). I wasn't consuming 6500 calories in Cadbury eggs!!! I have continued my same exercise. But the scale doesn't budge. WTF? It makes me want a drink! My non drinking started because of weight loss. Of course now, I realize that it's way more than that. Weight was my catalyst, my anchor. Mummywasasecretdrinker blogger writes extensively about alcohol and weight loss. She did not see a big change until around day 100 of her alcohol free journey. I'm scared that I won't see it at all! So I keep googling "quitting alcohol and weight loss." There is so much contradictory information out there! Some people lose fast, some lose slow, some (gulp) GAIN weight! So, I guess it is an individualized process…but secretly, I can't help wonder how giving up 6500 calories a week doesn't result in weight loss? Maybe my body has to go thru some sort of adjustment period? It better damn well hurry up!!! I am pissed!!!!
So off I go, alcohol free, smoke free and maybe fat free too!
Love,
Sober at 53
P.S. - I did make a therapist appointment for next Monday!
