See the thing I am really good at is whingeing about needing to change...

I felt like that for so long. Still love a whinge, but actively changing things. Used to be one of those people who read ERE/MMM etc. and said 'that's ok for *them*, but wouldn't work for me because (insert lazy excuse a)'.

By that, I mean that only I can fix it.

Well I guess I have already done something which is go alcohol free.

That's amazing, my 2-3 weeks off before DD arrived felt like a slog!

Only 19 days so far. My theory on doing a month off was that I was just beginning to feel better when I dismounted the waggon.

Are you doing a sticker chart for yourself?

I started doing a £1 into a pot for every time I achieved: 10k steps; a workout; a NSD; 10 veggies; no sugar... (hope I have used the semicolon correctly...!) Great potential for 'free' earned money to treat yourself. Think I got myself a pull-up bar the first month! Hmmm, am I sad or what?!

Amen to the teacher thing too.
Absolutely agree with Ed. nobody else will care enough to change things for you, they all have their own issues, sadly.

I think I need to go alcohol free Al, wondering if it's making me feel tired and a bit low. Sounds like you are already making some positive steps.

Apple is that ten veggies in a Day??

Tru dat Squirrel. As they say in breaking bad.

Cath it was making me feel tired and low and disrupting my sleep.

I still feel tired but going to go until end of June at least.
