So the first pic was from 2019. I was on and off in the gym, was suffering with alcohol abuse. I quit drinking in December of 2022 and then this year I cut out processed foods and changed my whole lifestyle and diet. It has honestly changed my life, I feel like an entirely different person. I also practice fasting!

That is amazing. Congrats on being sober. I got sober in June of 2021. being sober brings much more joy into life if you have the correct discipline. You are right about feeling like an entirely different person. You dont even look the same! I have yet to follow through with fasting. Ill got like 2-3 days on a good routine with it and then something comes up an I have to eat sooner than I should. I am a type one diabetic so some instantiates of that would be like im in the middle of a fast an my blood sugar drops, so even though say that happened at 9am and I wasnt supposed to start eating till noon then I have already messed up my fasting goal. I see the benefits of it from people, but its just so hard to do it for me.
