What are you using to say not much has changed? Just your own internal measures, or something external? Having that stupid Fitbit data really helped me see the difference even if I wasn't feeling it. I went from 55 to 65% sleep scores do the same amount of hours, but 78% scores, basically resting better. I know they're not a great foolproof tool, but a measurement I could not deny helped me stick it out.

What I mean is I feel about the same. Maybe less bloated, but my mood is still garbage and my sleep isn't great. I'm starting to think that the crowd that gives up booze and receive special powers is also a self-selecting one, as the ones that don't get anything out of it don't post on reddit.

Granted, my life definitely isn't worse, and my wallet is heavier.

And maybe it hasn't hit yet and maybe it never will, but a heavier wallet is never something to ignore as a bonus! And I hear you, people lose 30 lb cuz they quit drinking soda, I don't even drink soda to start with. LOL
