Are you cooking?
I did actually. I made some steaks with roasted veggies and cauliflower mashed potatoes.

Cauliflower mashed potatoes are the bomb!

My kids loved them. I was impressed. They’re not usually into vegetables in any form except salad.

I haven’t learned what keto is yet. I was planning on skipping that one and saving my enthusiasm for the next dietary miracle.
Yes like the bone broth diet!!
That one works if you exercise w it. I gained 15 lbs for the first time in my life after I quit drinking. That really sucked because I thought I was immune to gaining weight but I was wrong. I lost most of it. I’m 44 so I’m not complaining. I just eat healthy and I started walking. About to start running and lifting weights now that I quit smoking and can breathe again.
Why do you think you gained weight after quitting?
Idk. Everyone tells me I never used to eat but I did eat. I was drinking almost a 5th/day for the last 2 years of my really long bender. That’s 2200 calories a day. Wow!!
Maybe because I stopped running around like a lunatic. I don’t know but it was really bothering me so I tried a couple diets and lost a little bit of weight but not enough. I just quit smoking cigarettes and I haven’t gained any weight. I can breathe and have been exercising. I got an iPod and put a bunch of songs on it and I just wander around my neighborhood. I’m doing it the healthy way.
Did you gain weight Sarah?
Too soon to tell. I have noticed craving sugar for the first time in a long time. And I feel like eating constantly which is just not like me.
Watch out for the sugar. Water, coffee, and tea. Try to cook at home if you don’t already. Sarah is my middle name. My first name means Love so I’m the love princess lol. It’s nice to meet you. Hang in there. You will figure out your body. It’s going through shock right now.
When I got sober I lost nearly 40 lbs. I was also landscaping during the pandemic in the Texas sun and eating fairly well. Then I got a job in the kitchen again and slowly it came back. Lol.
Stevia is a good sugar substitute.
