Was unwell at the start of last year which saw me drop 10kg in about 3 weeks. Was 69kg and once I recovered I basically just decided I was going to enjoy myself for a bit and put a bit weight back on. I had a broken sternum so exercise was out the window so I really did just eat what I wanted for a couple months :

Was 79kg on 1st Jan but looking to get to about 74/75kg by the time the better weather comes round. Stopped eating as many snacks and done dry January and I’m down to 77.5kg. I’ve never been a huge drinker but I liked a glass of wine or two maybe about 3 nights a week. It’s mad how much of an impact removing that has as I’ve not massively increased my activity levels, which to be fair, are decent anyway with me playing 5s 3 times a week and averaging about 15000 steps a day.
Quite honestly, stopping drinking was one of the best decisions of my life. It’s crazy how much difference you feel long term. You defo need to relearn how to socialise somewhat as you no longer have that crutch, but when you think about the money you spend when out, then food, then a taxi home it saves you a bundle and also your calorie intake is much lower.

I find myself socialising with friends at my local climbing gym a lot - my off peak membership is thirty quid a month but it has a weights room, you can get a coffee when you’re there and is generally a good laugh. It’s a nice alternative to just meeting down the pub, but even if it ends up there most pubs have enough good AF choices now that it’s not difficult.

Good on you for losing the weight and hope you’re back at full fitness.
