    2/16 for me for last night please Shaggy


    Don't beat yourself up CuppaTea, just put it behind you and carry on as normal. We all have hiccups like that, me more than most! The important thing is not to give up
    What goes around comes around.....I hope!

    What do we do when we fall? We get up, dust ourselves off and start walking in the right direction again. Perhaps when we fall, it is easy to forget there are people along the way who help us stand and walk with us as we get back on track.

    I slept brilliantly for the last two nights and looking in the mirror this morning my skin looks clearer, my eyes look brighter and I look a little younger, fresher and perkier. The scales have moved in the right direction for two mornings in a row. A lightbulb moment - the booze ain't the great idea it seems to be.
    Who knew?!
    Or more accurately why don't I remember this when I choose wherher or not to drink in the evening. Have a good Thursday everyone.

    This so resonates with me - love the better sleep and much improved skin but keep on going back to the wine. Madness!!! Maybe I should stick a photo of my drinking face on the mirror :eek:

    6/31 for me please Shaggy

    Laughing at the idea of putting a really hungover picture next to the mirror. Maybe an app that takes a photo of your face and then shows you what you'll look like after a heavy night. Put your units in and see how bad it will be. Like those apps that show you what the haircut will be like before you do it.

    Another one here so 3/10 please Shaggy. Sleep well everyone.
