Im so MAD at myself
so basically im pretty mad at myself I have genuinely lost so much weight like 100+ lbs
With 40 lbs remaining. losing the rest of the weight is proving hard because of one reason and one reason only. A L C O H O L. legit the only thing standing in between me and 175-180lbs is booze its honestly annoying and exhausting. I know what it is I have to do, I know how to cut, I know how to do good in the gym but this is frustrating because I have to literally evaluate my relationship with alcohol. See, I come from an interesting family my father is Yoruba (Nigerian) he comes from a line of alcoholics. My mother is African American and Native American, she comes from a line of alcoholics. Everyone in my family drinks. I get home? Younger brother is buzzed, older sister is buzzed and Mom is buzzed. Dad is at work (we work at the same company hes in management but I work on the ramp at the airport) but when pops gets home? He's buzzed. I've have bouts of sobriety I went 60 days once but its so hard because someone in my family will ask "Hey, want a shot?" its so fucking hard, because I want this weight gone Ive worked hard and I have gone so far. I have no clue what to do and I'm at a loss of words as to what I can do. I know I have the strength to get the job done. But its such a tough battle, I have no clue where to begin. I'm also even more discouraged because considering my family history this alcohol addiction might literally be in my blood at this point. I appreciate this subreddit it's helped me so much seeing everyones posts and motivational stories about getting the fat off. Some days I feel genuinely defeated because of booze, a little bottle that I've allowed to keep me from what it is that I want and the person I want to be. Those of you that have struggled with alcohol becoming a road block in weight loss, what did you do? Do you have any tips, and if you do what did you do to help yourself get to the goal that you desperately wanted?
