The Giving Up/ Cutting Down alcohol support thread - number 12

15/30 AFDs, and a bar of white chocolate (mmm). Now that's a whole new confessional topic. However, I did go for a power walk at lunchtime.

I also weighed myself before holiday, wait for it.....
14 stones 4 and a half pounds. No wonder I feel like carp. When I was on slimming world I got pregnant and under midwife's supervision was 9 stones 9 pounds even though pregnant and I looked and felt fantastic. Hey ho this is life lol. Going to go to docs though as thinking I may be hypothyroid, as I am in denial regarding my weight. However, through talking to family there are loads that are hypo and hyper thryroid some having had surgery, yikes. Isn't it sad that I hope I'm hypo as I am absolutely huge and knackered, and it is very hard to lose weight, also I feel that there is a lump in my throat so I would rather know if I am so I can do something about it. If there is nothing wrong, I will seriously have to do something as I look like Jabba the Hut, namely my upper half was resting on my lower half.
In August I will be 42 so what happens to my name, can I change it or what? Any suggestions as to what?
13 AF days, feeling good as been cleaning and washing clothes all day.

I tried to change my name but couldn't so re-registered. I think you have to get the bods at MSE to change it for you but not sure.

I am now enjoying my second night sober so 2 AFD's for me please Shaggydoo.

Had my Horlicks and now gonna (hopefully) get some sleep. Hope everyone is having a good evening.

Good night x

Morning All :hello:

It is wild here, I was in bed fast asleep by 10.30 last night after I had my hot choc . Although if it wasn't the howling wind wakening me it was the thunder that was DH snoring, I have a feeling he will have a sore back this morning .

Feeling proud of myself as I had to go get some essentials in as didn't get any shopping done on Sunday due to feeling totally pants & hungover, however, this time, wine was not an 'essential', didn't even stop to look . "Date night" tonight but both DH & I will have our hot chocolate & perhaps a wee biscuit . Just over halfway through the month & I have already beat last months totalof 7 :j, I am well pleased with myself. Shaggy, can you add another AF (for tonight) on to my total please, bringing me up to 9 AF's

Satchmo - I absolutely adore white chocolate, would not be safe in my house :eek:

Hi all, 15 AFDs for me please

Getting impatient for Saturday to arrive, I just want to get moving now! Just trying to sell some last minute bits on ebay.

Going to have to sell my under the counter fridge and chest freezer as there's an integrated one already in the new house, but it saves us having to lug it into the van lol.

Sounds silly but I feel quite sentimental about them as I bought them when I moved into the house after splitting from my ex-husband and it was my first real place of my own that had my things in it. I guess it was me breaking out on my own and making a life for myself for the first time

Still, I am more than happy now to be going to this new place and making a new life with my OH. It will be nice for us to move into a place together that we have chosen

I am having to be very disciplined right now. I have had a bit of a fall-out with my manager over my holiday entitlement.

Luckily I have to pick my DD up later so can't have a drink yet. Hopefully by then the craving will pass.

I once read that if you go 3 days without something then you are not addicted to it so determined to get that far at least.

Hope everyone else is having a good evening.
