The backstory goes a little something like this...
I started eating healthier and lost 20 pounds. It only took about two months. Losing the weight was not difficult. I changed my diet and I started losing weight straight away. My weight loss plateaued at the 20 pound mark. I thought maybe if I cut out alcohol I could lose a few more pounds. The funny thing about that is two things happened: One, I started feeling better and two, I never lost another single fucking pound! However, between eating healthier and not drinking I really do feel better as a whole. I'm going to have a few drinks again at some point. Sobriety was never the intent, but it's working well for right now. I'll keep this thing going for a little while longer.
