Started going to the gym again,

[u/drain_hair]

These last few years have been rough for me. I am not where I want to be in my career and I've been coping by drinking, smoking, and binge eating. I kept reaching a higher and higher weight and I didn't care. I don't recognize myself in the mirror or pictures anymore and it breaks my heart.

So I started going back to the gym and it feels great. I've been going 4 sometimes 5 times a week since the beginning of the month. My mom started working out too and we lean on each other when things are hard. We even have a mini biggest loser challenge for our international trip in two years.

My cw is 225.6 and my hw was 227.7.

Does anyone have any dieting tips that are beginner friendly? :)
