Thanks everyone for the warm welcome

Yeah much healthier, I am not usually a snacks between meals person so hopefully the snacking will fizzle out

That's a bit of a double edged sword. I find I'm more likely to give in to snacking if I've had a few drinks. What I do is plan healthy things: current favourite if fat free Greek yogurt with red berries.

That's great to hear. If you feel like that after a weekend, you're doing really well.:T


Good to be back on the wagon. I did drink over the weekend but very moderately indeed.


6/10 AFDs please Baileys.

Thank you so much for all the good wishes, too many to multi quote!
Done and dusted, the anticipation is worse than the event itself although I really don't like it
And as a bonus instead of main hospital it was a mobile MRI unit at a smaller local hospital so I got 6,000 steps in too
Will have to wait until consultant looks at it but hopefully that's it for 6 months
Maman I never snack when drinking, Maybe because I drink lager and it fills me up
I just bought some healthy snacks on way back from the hospital
Fatrab you are doing really well, keep it up!

Well done FatRab and glad to hear the MRI went smoothly Paspatur.

12/28 please, Baileys.

Thanks HB


I agree, having it set in stone that you're not going to drink at all just makes it so much easier. I could've easily gone to the pub on Sunday to watch the rugby but resisted, even though I went last week and sat with a soda water & lime!

Totally agree, there are so many decisions in life every day that we suffer from decision fatigue - what to wear, what to have for breakfast..... having a set line that says no drinking means we do not have to make the decision whether to drink or not especially after a busy day with lots of other decisions
Hope that makes sense?
12/28 for tonight please

Good evening,7 please Baileys.

. I!!!8217;m checking in early with another one for this evening which would total the princely sum of 3/12 and 8/150 for the year.

Just checking in to say I did it and after a brief wobble of resolve as I walked home past the off licence that stocks my fave wine chilled in their fridge I didn!!!8217;t find it difficult.

Planning another one tomorrow

Morning,

Number 3/14 for me, hoping for another one tonight.

Up to 8/218 for the year.
