Mind blown

So I just started using this app. My cousin persuaded me to do it as an experiment because I was so frustrated with not losing weight. Even though I wasn't exercising as much (if any lol) I was eating better. Sooo she finds a forum where people are struggling with quitting alcohol use. This is me to a T! A lot of our social life orbits around drinking so it is really hard. And having social anxiety, those drinks were really helping me relax. I liked how easily I could talk to people and not feel uncomfortable but along with all the other amazing great things alcohol does for you (dripping sarcasm), I just couldn't imagine not drinking. Then my youngest daughter moved away to college (commence the ripping pain in my heart), I started drinking at home after work. Beer, wine, Malibu rum ...mostly whatever was in the house. I did stop at the vodka my husband always has handy but mostly because he'd probably start locking me out of the house if I started drinking it....which is another reason it was so hard to stop drinking. He drinks vodka and Diet Coke every night but back to my reason for this post...So here I am trying to climb the mountain that keeps getting bigger and bigger, lo and behold..my cousin (love you) sends me a link to a forum on this app. It's a member who is having this same problem. In fact, it has many members that are having this same issue. IM NOT ALONE! Woohoo! And in the thread, a personal trainer with many acronyms after her name (with all the crap on the Internet, this triggers my trust button switch heehee) posts about the effects of drinking during sleep. I knew drinking wasn't good for your body and hurt weight loss but I didn't know the science behind it. Long story short, your body and liver have to address the alcohol before anything else. Ok this isn't a news flash but the part that made my jaw drop is that your body burns fat during sleep but can't do any of that if you have alcohol in your system which turns all your other stuff in to stored fat. WTH!!!! Why haven't I seen this posted all over Facebook instead of the wives gushing about their husbands, children and all the horrible things happening to animals??? Don't get me wrong. Those all are important but geez lawheeze!!! This should be on a friggin billboard on all the major interstates!! Ok I'm exaggerating a little but to whoever that person was (I don't remember the name) THANK YOU for posting that vital info and thank you to my cousin for finding it and sending it to me. I haven't drank in two days and don't have the desire to. Sure...it might be a phase but for right now, thinking about the cheeseburger I ate for dinner literally going right to my thighs if I drink because my poor body is dealing with the devil juice first, AH HELL NO!
