So I'm someone with chronic pain and fatigue. A few years ago I started a fitness journey and went from 260 down to 180. Today I'm at 219 after falling off the wagon. I want to start again. Eating healthy, getting active. It's hard. I recently hurt my back so I'm trying to get that sorted.

Step 1 is cutting all soda and energy drinks. I'm going to flip that switch starting Monday. With Lemmy as my witness.

Thanks man! I'm going to try to reenforce with some accountability partners.

The thing that people don't often realize is that bad habits are an addiction. I get it. I'm an addict. So was my grandfather. The only difference is he was addicted to cigarettes and booze and I'm addicted to sugar and caffeine.

I'd love to see updates as you go! Interacting with the community will add a layer of accountability, but also give some content for us all.

Also, I agree completely about habits. You got this, though.
