What a post, I was going to start posting in this community as well regarding my attempts to lose some "covid fat" I've gotten the past couple years, but compared to my ben & jerry's alcoholism surely is a lot more dangerous and glad to hear you've managed to control since. I had some periods during highschool I used to drink a lot too, was quite common for Finns, had a really high tolerance for it at some point, nowadays I drink one cider and already get a buzz, lol.

I thought it was about time I share these stories. People need to be aware that nobody is perfect and we are all susceptible to being taken over if we let go of our own reigns for too long. I can remember trying to chug a certain number of beers in the back of one of my friend's cars just so I wouldn't be so nervous to meet their friends that they were about to introduce me to. That is pretty damn low, but at the time I saw absolutely nothing wrong with it.
You totally should share your own journey with losing that covid fat you mentioned. I've been thin pretty much my whole life but being lazy for a couple of years added some poundage to my body that I had never had to deal with. Sure I've still never been over 170 lbs, but I have been finding it near impossible to get rid of the layer of fat over my belly. I've been back in the gym since about August now and still by belly looks the same. Everything else on my body is improving and I feel loads better now. Feeling good is my main goal. Anything is better than zero physical activity, we've got to use these bodies we are blessed to be in.
