In my first few years here I initially lost a stack of weight due to the amount of alcohol consumed and therefor meals skipped, I kind of liked the slimline me but I don't think I was very healthy. Since I stopped drinking I've gained a load of weight, probably to a little over what I was before moving over here. This weight gain is down to my soda intake, I drink at least three liters a day, and so 21 liters a week, that would be at least 44 per month and so............. Well you do the math, it's a lot.
I developed a sneezy allergy to spirit drunkeness which was weird.
I stopped smoking, which is annoying, I try to smoke occasionally but now it makes me feel as though I've popped LSD and I feel seriously ill and paranoid for 5 minutes after. But I do keep persevering and hopefully one day I'll be able to get back onto two packs a day.
My diet is great, I eat meat three times a day, before it was only once, I enjoy this, why I eat more meat is because I do most of the cooking, simply as I think Dominicans are terrible cooks as far as variety goes, at best they can muster one or two half decent meals, and they won't try anything new, or if they do then they don't like it before they digest the flavor, I hate none adventurous eaters.
I don't walk as much, I used to go hiking every weekend, here it is impossible unless I drive for a couple of hours. Walking around here is like undertaking an assault course, even my dogs are paranoid of what they are going to fall down, walk into or be pranced by, oh and the customery pull by PN which always ruins my day.
Oh yes, I used to respect the law, now I hate the law.
I am less social, simply because I find less interesting people to talk with. I am still social, but with less people than I am used to, which I'm happy with, I make it like that.
My trust in people has reduced considerably, I now work by dominican logic that EVERYONE is guilty of doing something or considering doing something bad to me or a close one, until they prove me otherwise.
My income has gone down massively and my spendage has gone up considerably.
I have gained a considerable amount of white hairs over recent months.
Become quite happy doing nothing but starring at the ceiling fan, or watching the toaster, or the bath run where as before I would multitask, turn the bath on and tidy the room or something. Now I can only do one thing at a time, and one thing a day, sometimes less, I am very content doing absolutely nothing.
I have toned down my temper, I realized here having a temper gets you in trouble, and so I ditched the temper and decided not to give a sh1t about anything anymore, so that's a weight off my shoulders.
Besides that I seem to be pretty much good old me, not much changed!
