The Giving Up/ Cutting Down alcohol support thread - number 13
Comments
-
Hello everyone. Please can I join you all? This morning I could easily sit and cry. I'm trying really hard to lose weight but I always sabotage myself at the weekends. Last night I managed the best part of two bottles of wine plus lots of snacks I would have resisted if I were sober. Am so very fed up of being on this roller coaster. I've always had the problem of not having the "stop" switch when drinking and I know I shouldn't have that first drink. Going to try and concentrate on sticking with the exercise and diet this week and NO wine. Hope you can all help me stay on course.
Thanks......Rosie
Hi Rosie
Pushing out the MSEfor you.
You'll find lots of dieters on this thread! So you are definitely not alone. I'm a permanent dieter. Here is mybutton :-)
Do you want to join the January Challenge? There are 14 days left. Or you can go TF (Target Free) if you wish.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 -

Hope everyone's feeling strong tonight. I always think that once I've done Monday then I've set the tone for the week.
Definitely AF here.
6 AFDs please Shaggy.0 -
I am afraid that I well and truly fell off the wagon in the last couple of weeks. First we had Ofsted and then I got some good news and celebrated that.
I am now back on the wagon. I am not having any alcohol tonight so 7/20 for me please. If I am very good, then I may just make my target this month, but in any case I am determined to not just give in altogether.£1000 Emergency Fund #175 - £598/£1000
