The Giving Up/ Cutting Down alcohol support thread - number 13

Sandypan

Evening all, 4/20 for tonight please Shaggy. I could easily be tempted tonight but now I've declaring I'm going to bed to avoid the call of a bottle of red from the kitchen!!!

Happy with the weight loss, went to SW last night and lost 3.5lbs and was Slimmer of the Week, that's 10lbs in 3 weeks only 15.5 to go!!!

Well done MP


I'm checking in with 2/5 for tonight. Beginning to feel in the holiday mood is making it difficult to resist a drink, but I've managed it for tonight anyway

Popping in to update with another two AFDs, so I'm on 3/28 please Shaggy x

I have two days catching up with friends next week, without DH or any children, dogs or chickens to worry about - they're all staying at home... So now I'm worrying that I may indulge to excess after being set free for 48 hours.

Must stay strong.

And I must remember to do some no treat days...sigh...

Arkers

Good morning everyone,


4 please Shaggy.
Well done MP good willpower, as it was drinking weather yesterday. I always fancy a cider outside a country pub on lovely sunny evenings.

3/15 for me please Shaggy, and I am also doing a treat-free day today, much needed as on Tuesday I was passing a chocolate shop, went in, bought some salted caramels and have eaten nearly the lot!!! :eek: They were expensive as well as calorific but very delicious. I suppose if I only do that sort of thing every now and then it won't break the bank, or me! Beautiful day today.

Also slightly overdid it last night on the alcohol, had two G&Ts when I got home from work (fine), but then finished off the glass of red wine left in the bottle in the fridge with dinner, and am now feeling crotchety and sluggish this morning. I didn't even want the red wine and should just have shoved it in the freezer to cook with on a future occasion.

I'm seriousl impressed with the weightloss Sandypan, Arkers and Debjay. Let's hope Maman, CathyBird, Dizzy Imp and I can stay equally resolute and keep our sticky fingers out of the biscuit barrel. Enjoy the break, Dizzy.

Well done on resisting temptation, ManPants. I hope the business meeting goes well.

5/31 please, Shaggy.

Despite the sunshine, I'm doing a beef casserole tonight for that very reason. I love cooking with wine but this time it's going in the food!


Good luck with the treat free cathy. I'm doing well maintaining my target weight but had noticed a treat was creeping in most evenings and you're helping me break the habit.:)

Well done lucy! I've been looking at June and wondering whether to write it off as I'm away for almost three weeks but I'm determined to get at least a few days in before I go away.


Definitely AF tonight.


2 AFDs please Shaggy.
