When I was younger I had a horrible drug problem. I thought when I quit and started to live a "normal" life I would be happy.
Due to drugs I really let myself go and fucked my teeth up bad. I wanted to get them fixed for years and I finally did about two years ago and thought that it would be a nice boost and I would be happy.
After quitting cigarettes and the drugs I definitely found satisfaction in food. I put on quite a bit of weight. It's been years since the cigarettes, a couple years since the teeth and after a few month relapse just before hitting one year clean I now have 6 months clean (as of yesterday). I finally decided I would start losing weight on December 26th of 2018.
I have lost around 35 pounds as of this morning and I look better. I feel better. But you know what, the happiness and joy is still just not "there".
Sure I'm not spending all day figuring out how I'll get my fix, or smoking cigarettes, and shoving food in my face anymore. I am losing weight and I know I'm getting "healthier" but it's a lot of physical changes. You need to take care in a mental capacity too.
At the end of the day with all the physical changes we make to our bodies, we are still the same person in our heads.
I'm proud of everyone on this sub , and thankful for all the inspiration I've found throughout. But I just want to stress the importance of taking care of our minds as well. For some( honestly, probably most) we found ourselves in the situations we are/ were in because of a mental disconnect. A void.
There is no shame in seeking help. We came here for help and motivation for our physical forms there's no different than going and talking to someone to help us with our minds as well. =)
Take care of yourselves everyone. Love you guys.
