orchid-96

Just lost a really long post and too tired to re-do it all :-(

sea sorry you are struggling tonight, tomorrow is as budgie said a new shiny day,so please don't feel like you have 'failed' continue with your meetings as something may well 'stick' also was going to ask have you seen your gp? maybe you could get some other help/counselling...good luck hun and sending you lots of hugs...think you need some confidence boosting xxxxx

fay when I read your post about the 'giant whoopsie' it reminded me of Frank Spencer when he used to say his cat had done a whoopsie on the carpet :rotfl::rotfl: showing my age now.....don't beat yourself up about a drink....you did great to stick to one, I know that I would have struggled not to have had more with my meal so well done xxx

Have not been af tonight and had more than I planned ...

catch you all tomorrow xxxxx

Dot Cotton = DC = Me ! Scary, especially when I have a cigarette - no not stopped that yet either. Anyway I failed again last night, watching BGT, it is something about Saturday nights and a lager.

115K I have heard that too about the sugar cravings, I remember Denise thingy off of Loose Women said she had stopped drinking but had replaced the booze with cakes! I know that I suffer quite badly if my blood sugar is low so I buy in oat cakes and porridge and stuff that I know is low gi food, I have found in the past that has helped me lose a bit of weight without trying too much...maybe those types of foods would be good when trying to remain af...

Oh really.:T Well I have tried it for one day at least. I will see how I get on with it. I need to do some more shopping so I have the right foods in the cupboards. I had porridge for breakfast today.

Morning Everyone :hello:
The sun is shining for a 2nd day in a row up here in mackerooshire still tending to my burnt bits from yesterday:o so will need to slap some more suncream today that yesterday and make sure i dont miss any bits!

Well done to you all on your own personal achievements this month, i have managed 7 AF days and planning to hit my target of 8 today so will let you know. Although i dont post as regular as some of you guys it doesnt mean that i dont think of you all and how you are doing, as ive said before i love the fact that we all reach out to one another when the going gets tough. Without this thread i wouldnt have really given myself a target for this month, its amazing what the power of committing to something online has done for me. I will post again tomorrow with my target for June once ive had a chance to wake up properly ..i need more tea!!
Hope you all have a fabby Sunny Sunday

Right woke up naturally early today feeling ok after an AF weekend.

Day 24 for me today :jand there is no chance of me having a drink - nothing to open a bottle with!

I've missed my target by 2 days. Instead of this getting me down a la my name I'm feeling positive and I am going for an AF June :eek: :rotfl:
making my total 30 AFDs
I'm giving it a go and I've prepared by taking the bottle of wine out of the fridge with the cork half out (but still closed!). No temptation to stare at it when I open the fridge. I'm putting off buying a cork screw for a bit longer.

Will need to stock up on squash and pop and juice to temper the water a little.

Decision made now and stated loud and clear on here! Should be ok, ready for the ups and down and the usual effects of the moon in a week or so!

Morning all:j
Not been around much - sorry guys:o Have kept up with the thread though.
Sorry BB - will have to declare at only 4 days this month. Have slipped up badly with AF, NSD's, GC etc. etc.
BUT.... tomorrow is another brand new, shiny month and I have the reins firmly back in my hands. Spent an hour or two yesterday getting the budget back in order, meal plans all done, fridge re-stocked etc.

40SM - I have given much thought to June's target. It's going to be a difficult month for me as, fingers crossed, our house move will take place. I have spent half-term week clearing out the garage/loft/black-hole-under-the-stairs and the skip is groaning under the weight of umpteen sacks of 'stuff' - where does it all come from I am having to leave my beloved vegetable garden, but have put as much as I can in pots to take to the new house. I think I will try for 10 again - it's a nice, round number:rotfl:and I am feeling a lot more positive now that I can achieve it.

Also, just wanted to thank you all for being here - even though you don't realise the help you are giving me, I couldn't do it without you all:A

I'm with you in June Fedup. 30 AF is my target.
New routines and a different way of life planned. I need to get off my butt, financially, emotionally, phsically, mentally - everythingilly !
