To make a long story short, I have gone through some pretty terrible things in my life, mainly in my childhood. About 1 1/2 years ago I started drinking heavily to escape thinking about my past and I went from a slim 130 lbs to 165 lbs (I am 5'8" medium frame). Over the past few months I have been seeing a therapist, finding out a lot about myself, how strong I really am, and am working towards cutting out alcohol all together. I am ready to get rid of some of this fat and to just be an overall healthier person.

My plan is to consume between 1500-1600 calories a day, log in 3 one hour gym workouts a week and 3 long walks with my dog. I know I need to take it 1 day at a time, but I want this SO BAD. I know I turned to alcohol as a way to survive, and sometimes we all do things just to make it through the day, but I now know I do not need it and I want it out of my life. I want my life back!
