Since 2nd April this year. Never every day, but never had that switch to say "time to stop now" once I'd started. Decided to prioritise my mental wellbeing and jump on the wagon. Not looking back.
Wow, 72 days is great. How are you feeling now?
Feeling so much better, thanks! It hasn't been a big bang of "oh wow, I feel great now!" but an accumulation of smaller things - being more present at the weekend, especially in the mornings - taking better care of myself (small things like brushing my teeth before bed rather than thinking "feck it, I can't be bothered") - losing some of the beer belly... and so on. But mostly just being far more steady and sharper mentally.
