In 2015 I went from 280 pounds to 140 pounds because I was addicted to speed/meth. Over the course of the next 6 years, my weight fluctuated up and down as I’d get sober for a few months then relapse, continuously. Now I’ve been sober for a year and I gained a ton of weight since the peak of my addiction. I also had a baby 3 months ago. I now weigh 300 pounds.
The first time I lost weight, I did it by not eating for days and going to the gym high. I was always destined to regain it because my life was so unhealthy at the time. I just want to lose weight and feel HEALTHY for the first time in my life. The thought of doing this sober is so discouraging but I’m ready to fight those thoughts and put in the work and fix my terrible eating habits/shitty willpower.
I’m struggling with coming up with a plan to lose weight and have no idea where to start. Any advice would be great! I’ve heard a lot about CICO but I’m not sure how it works exactly or how many calories I should be eating.
I’m currently breastfeeding so my appetite is insatiable and that’s making me gain weight too. I know dieting can reduce breastmilk supply but that’s something I’ll deal with when it happens because I feel like I need to put my health first.
I just wanted to put this in writing to make it feel real and commit to the process. Today is day one to becoming a healthy, thriving person!
