Sober vegetarian cyclist looking for support

Hi! My name is Ayla and I’m 27 years old. I quit drinking 3 weeks ago and my food intake has been a mess. The cravings have decreased considerably and I’m ready to get my diet back in order. I am a vegetarian who tries to eat mostly vegan, and I love sweet potatoes. My main form of exercise is cycling, which I do daily. I am a former bike courier and I do not own a car. I also enjoy hula hooping, yoga, and weight lifting but sometimes struggle with self motivation.

I have used MFP in the past, but I was disguising an eating disorder. This time I am ready to heal my body and mind, slowly and with care. I have about 15 lbs to lose, but I am more focused on feeling healthy, energetic, and balancing my nutrition.

Looking for any new friends who might be on a similar journey... 💕

    Hi I am at the maintenance part of my weight loss and not a vegetarian; but I want to give you a shout out. I've lost about 15 pounds and it is very important to me to keep it off. Keep cycling and doing what it takes to heal your mind and spirit. Those are also things I relate to and wish you the best!
