IF + Alcohol Free

So I’ve been a heavy drinker (F, 29) for the last ten years. And I mean heavy heavy, yall know what I mean. I never got sloppy but it was almost daily, just a habit. I haven’t really had any major issues with weight because I’ve been intermittent fasting for years (I discovered it in 2020 and really liked the way it worked with my body, but everyone is different, this is not health advice just something that I personally like and helps with my energy levels mood focus etc) and I feel like that helped me “counter balance” the calories I was ingesting when I was drinking. But what it didn’t do was make me feel any better. Plus I fell off the wagon and gained weight anyways lol

Anyways, was at my breaking point the other week. I have been traveling a lot for work and it made me realize just how much I drink and how comfortable I am drinking alone, it’s pathetic and I felt terrible about myself. When I got home I drank again and that night I told my husband I’m done, I feel like shit, I can’t do this anymore. I hate myself and how dependent I am on alcohol (he doesn’t have an unhealthy relationship with alcohol like I do) so he’s been very supportive

I’m turning 30 at the end of October so I decided to lock in. This is day 3 of doing sober OMAD (one meal a day) aka fast for all of the day and then eat one gigantic healthy meal. I’m going to take a photo of myself every night to motivate myself so I can make a time lapse and at the end, hopefully see a woman who is healthy, joyful, rested, and free from the shackles of alcohol to start off this new decade. :)

Love yall thankful to have found this community. All of your posts are so inspiring and it means the world to me to read them
