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.0

I'm at my lowest weight in about 6 years too (which is as about as long as I have been posting on this thread!)What do we do when we fall?

I asked for earbud earphones as a birthday present, but got an even better gift of a headband with built in earphones. It can be used as an eye mask at night, or as a headband when running. The earphones are removable so the headband can be washed.
I listen to Classic FM on my phone at night. I've also just learned that Spotify plays music to the beat of your running speed (in my case that will be slow tunes).What would you get if all you got was what you were thankful for?0 -

Not been here for a while, but this thread helped me so much when I decided that I had drunk my lifetime's quota of alcohol and needed to stop. I never thought I'd be able to do it, but 6 years down the line I am still AF barring one small glass of champagne (which I didn't enjoy the physical effects of at all:() .
I couldn't have managed in the early days without the support from here. I wonder how much alcohol has not been drunk because of this thread - it must be tanker loads!0 -
