  • Also forgot to say earlier... It's great when people can be open about their feelings on here as it can help spurr us all on and act as reminders as why we're doing this. Not in a sadistic sort of way... More just sharing experiences and emotions.

    I'll stop rambling now and go and get some good kip :)

    please can i have 1 AFD Shaggy?

    I've joined slimming world again and if i have alcohol now it will only be part of my syn allowance unless theres a birthday/funeral/v v v special occasion.

    im also rejoining the gym on thursday so I'm hoping if i do a workout, i'll be less inclined to come home and undo it with booze.
  • What a fantastic thread. How come i have never come across this before?? Lol... Watching with serious interest.... Might join in if i can find the courage

    Well done to everyone xxx

    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.
