Hello, my name is ladycousland (dumb Dragon Age reference, don’t ask) and I’m an alcoholic. Highly functional, successful in terms of career and relationships, and entirely unrepentant about any of the above — but a daily drinker nonetheless.
And can I just say, the number of calories in alcohol is fucking ungodly. Just, really blows out my daily budget unless I forgo one or more meals. Which I try not to! I mean half of the pleasure in drinking (for me at least) is enjoying food alongside it. For real, I’m a 5’7” female in the 21st century, but give me some booze and a charcuterie spread and I will go full on Henry VIII before the crippling leg injury.
Can anyone relate? I follow a lot of aspirational accounts across several social media platforms, and it always feels so damn unattainable. I would love to “eat clean” and “detox” and “love myself” at any size, but I tend to feel comparatively like a dirty little gremlin who will always be fat because I’ll probably never be able to say no to lots of wine and a moderate amount of cheese. How do my fellow gremlins balance alcohol intake with a moderately restricted diet? Are there any fellow hedonists out there who were able to lose weight without foregoing any of the fun stuff??
