What's up guys, my name is Paige and I'm a recovering drug addict. I just got out of prison and now that I'm sober I realized I've gained so much weight. Idk, I guess I'm reaching out for some type of support system or encouragement? Lol

    Welcome to the community! <3

    If you haven't already, read the stickies at the top of the getting started forum. Very informative and helpful.

    Buy a food scale. Weigh everything you eat and log into the food diary.

    Good luck with your journey!

    Hi Paige, addiction is horrible, I've had encounters before, danced with the devil if you will. It's not an easy thing to come out of but embrassing and improving your body is an amazing step towards happiness without substance in my opinion. If you find something you are motivated for and love to do, over time your dependence will deplete, it's and awfully long road and there will be more than a few bumps, but I think you can do well. Don't hesitate to contact me if you need anything, stay strong and good luck on your journey!
