    18/24 today. Today was hard. Sooo much going on and I'm finding it hard to relax, but I'm absolutely shattered. Hopefully I might sleep more than the usual four hours...

    Congratulations Honey Bear on a fantastic achievement - that's amazing! :T

    Thank you everyone - your support means more than you can ever know. With Belle's 100 Day Challenge and everyone on this thread what had been impossible to face became very do-able and I am as grateful as it's possible to be. I simply could not have got this far without both.

    When I eat my celebratory chocolates later I will be thinking of you all. The shop is right next door to Plymouth Gin and I live behind them. Temptation or what!
    Better is good enough.
  • Well that was a boring football match yesterday and a very late night. I love London but live just that bit too far away for day trips. Easier to go by train but it can be rather expensive. At least I only had one bottle of cider at half time and before now would have had wine when I got back no matter what time of day but I refrained. OH waited up for us bless him. Think he was a bit worried as my sis was driving lol. It was nice to do something with my dad and sis tho. We don't get to do much together on our own and we are a mad gooner family thanks to dad lol.
    Back to the alcohol. It will be another AFDtonight. Not tomorrow tho as DS2 birthday. He is a real foodie so OH and I are taking him to our poshest restaurant here for lunch. I shan't go mad but obviously will enjoy a glass or two with my food.
    Total weight lost 6.5/73lbs starting yet again. Afds August 10/15. /8 Sept.

    What 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.

    Satchmo sorry to read about your ex-MIL. Hope the funeral isn't too stressful.

    Today is Day 299. I'm rather chuffed about that, and to celebrate tomorrow I think I might buy myself some handmade chocolates.
