I honestly felt like I was battle-ready for the lockdowns. I've been in large periods of isolation in the past and had ups and downs with mental health and addiction so I was prepared lol.
I did notice the change in others though and could relate strongly with the withdrawals I was seeing. Fortunately the lockdowns (although much later on than I'd hoped) actually gave me an opportunity to tackle my addictions and mental health worries. I was sober for 3 months last year and did end up relapsing towards Christmas, but I've came back in full swing in 2021 and I'm currently 2 months sober and preparing to take the world by storm as the lockdowns are lifted.
I'm curious, what kind of food did you add to the stockpiles? I'm wanting to prepare myself at some point and I was wondering if you had any kind of plan for food to keep it interesting and not just beans on toast for months on end lol.
Thats freaking fantastic mate! well done for using this tough time to work on yourself and fight against your struggles. I think lockdown is a time some will decline and some will thrive and its good to be on the right side.
I Had a problem with eating to much, was 300 pounds and in the high risk category so used lockdown to build a home gym, cut out the junk food ect and am 80 lbs down to 220 now:)
I added lots of things, dried pasta/rice and potatoes plus things to cook them with. In fact I could write my next post on it and go into things more there.
Whoops, comment slipped through the cracks lol. A bit late on this one
Good on ya pal, that's solid progress. Definitely get a post written up about it, I'm sure everyone here can relate to diet and eating habits, it's just a part of life.
Keep it up!
