Was thinking last night,,,
What ever happened to 'in search of me' ?

I will have been posting on this thread for 8 years in October - some posters were here before me - Mamam, Pricey, WBF and others - but "In Search of Me" hasn't posted anytime in that 8 years of mine.....I hope she is living a happy and healthy life some where though!

Just checked back - this thread is 9 years old on 24th February !!!!! WOW!

Mostly I've found the same, but there have been one or two people who've argued the toss about whether I have/had a problem with alcohol.

Oddly enough that resonated with how it was when I first joined the thread. I wasn't in from the start but may have joined late 2008 or maybe early 2009. Although it's always been named as giving-up/cutting down there were problem drinkers on there back then who couldn't accept that not everyone was the same. I admire anyone who wants to give up completely and has the willpower to do so but that doesn't mean I want to do the same. I still have a poster on my ignore list (hardly a list, just one person) from back in the day as I got so fed up with the implication that I was an alcoholic that wouldn't admit it.:mad:

I'm calling in early for tonight, so am now up to 18/30. Have already got my AF wine ready for tomorrow night if the cravings get bad. It is very much habit on a Friday night - like a reward at the end of a week. Maybe I should find something to take its place, only not sure what!


Bit disappointed this week as I only recorded a half pound loss at Slimming World, and I thought by cutting out alcohol it might have been better. Annoyed with myself for bingeing over holiday and Christmas as I still have a lot of weight to lose to get back to my November pre-holiday weight (5.5lbs). I am determined though and have next holiday booked for May so that will drive me on. I couldn't think about going on a beach in a bikini at the moment! Aiming for a stone loss before hols which will be a challenge. Might need to keep the AF going a bit longer if the weight does start to drop off

I may even increase my target for the month,,,,,,,,,
Then again being at the early stages of cutting down I have to admit I'm looking forward to having a wine or 4 on Friday ,,,,,
Could be worse I'd be 3 bottles in by now on a 'normal' week !! And considering I've been filling in divorce papers I can't believe I've not given in !

I am looking forward to a glass of wine tomorrow night too, I've been quite strict this week and not had anything since saturday night. But I have been thinking about enjoying 2 glasses on Friday night. I bought a bottle on Tuesday and plan to drink it over Friday and Saturday. Although according to an article I read during the week, that is still technically binge drinking as half a bottle is 4.5 units.:mad:

I am also going through the divorce process, i've had my nisi through and just a week or so to go until the absolute. I'll be glad in one way when its all over as the solicitors are costing me a fortune, but its sad too.

I've felt very flat and down this week, I know why, but I can't seem to shake it off. I'm am trying to see the good in things and remain positive, but its difficult when the things I am trying to achieve are out of reach. I don't want to say more than that.

Anyway, enough of my moaning mininess. At least i'm sorting out the AFness at the moment.
