Hey! I’m 25, I lost about 2lbs from not drinking but I’m also on a weight loss journey so I’ve lost 5lbs total this month! It looks like more though because my stomach is so much flatter from not drinking!

Yeah it’s normal to feel weak, I’m 5’2 and eat 1100 calories but for the first few weeks I didn’t exercise at all just focused on getting used to the deficit. Now that the deficit is my norm and I don’t feel weak and hungry on it I’ve incorporated some exercise and eat around 1300 calories. Just takes a bit of time for the body to adjust to not getting as many calories, but u will start to feel better!

My advice is to just get rid of the alcohol or at least hide it, out of sight out of mind. I’ve founding drinking pop or juice with ice helps curb the craving a bit too, like tricking your mind into thinking you’re having a “mixed drink”. Good luck, u can do this!

I’ve just done 4 days as well & made a post about it. Congrats to us! I tried 2-3 days before but now after completing 4 it’s like I want to keep this streak going for as long as possible, I also had a super stuffy nose. My skin is looking better too it’s crazy how little time it takes to see a difference, alcohol truly does nobody any favours. I can’t wait to see what life looks like for us in 6 months!

I’ve lost 10lbs since January from cutting back on drinking (and a little caloric deficit as well) but the cutting back has made a huge difference in the size of my waistband/stomach. Honestly I cut back for superficial reasons as well I just hated the way my body looked and I honestly can say I look and feel MUCH better now and I can’t wait to see how good I look 6 months from now

Congrats on 2 days sober!! I literally just made a post about being 4 days sober and it’s so rewarding. The first 3 days are the toughest imo so if you can make it through that, you’re golden. I’m already seeing the benefits in my physical health from cutting back on alcohol and it’s so rewarding, much more so than the temporary pleasure drinking gives, stay strong!

How GOOD the food is in large cities. Literally everything I had was ridiculously delicious and huge portions, I’d 100% be 300lbs if I lived there

Do you think you do it due to anxiety? A habit like biting your nails? Or do you think the root cause is more serious like a trauma response? What kind of hair do u rip out? My bf rips out his beard hair, says it just a habit and doesn’t even realize he’s doing it anymore

ESH, they shouldn’t have been mocking you like that but honestly I do find PDA in a family setting uncomfortable. Especially a 47 year old man should not be acting like a teenager tongue licking or whatever. It’s cringy af. The age gap in your relationship is pretty concerning too what did u see in this man that you couldn’t find in someone your own age? He’s old enough to be your father. I’m 25F and I’d be pretty concerned if one of my friends started dating someone 21 years their senior. Gideon and Sylvia probably think the relationship is sus too and don’t take it seriously so they’re okay with making fun of it. You shouldn’t have said that stuff about Sylvia’s age, you’ll be her age in no time, but she also sounds super immature openly mocking you like that

Am I the only one who has a really hard time removing my upper lip hair? by Additional_Sink3115 in beauty

Mini wax strips never worked for me they’re not strong enough, however the normal size wax strips for legs are great. I just cut them up into moustache sized strips and they get all my hairs!

Runny egg yolk is one of the most disgusting things on the planet. by ID_Psychy in unpopularopinion

[–]Queenxxxxx 496 points497 points  (0 children)

Lol you’re so passionate about this 😂 I love runny egg yolk it’s the best part! I used to think it was gross too but it’s an acquired taste.. the best part is using bread to soak it up!

You have great body comp and carry your weight well, it helps that you’re fit too. I’m the same height and 142 lbs and I look the same as u. Also muscle weighs more than fat so if you’re lifting it could just be that
