ShaggyxWhat 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.0 -

No I didn't lose any weight giving up chocolate - the 3 pounds is down to exercise. I'm always on a diet tbh!What do we do when we fall?

Strange you should say that shaggy. When I first cut down on alcohol I didn't lose any weight either. It seems just giving up one thing isn't the answer. Now I do cutting down alongside healthy eating it helps keep my weight where I want it. I allow myself half a 25g bar of 70% chocolate most days. It seems to make a mug of tea more relaxing of an evening. I look forward to it and it's much better for me than pouring a glass to unwind. That's an awful lot of exercise to lose 3lbs.:T
I'm not going to drink today.
2 AFDs please.0 -
hi all, definitely 1/15 for me today, no second thoughts later!! 0
