    Have a lovely time, Maman.

    Your OH might find that at some point he has to stop (for instance, if he's on certain antibiotics) and that might show him how much effect booze is having, but it's unlikely he'll acknowledge it Glenda Sugarbean. I certainly didn't and I've yet to find another heavy drinker who fully realises just how much their body's metabolism is affected by alcohol; I'm not sure even now my OH would accept he was a heavy drinker while I was still drinking. Your OH will learn when he's ready, but that doesn't mean you have to do the same thing!

    Delighted Mum, all this talk of weight and diets has inspired me to weigh myself this morning, and I'm pleased to say that cutting back on sugar (ie only eating half a packet of biscuits instead of a whole packet when I get a craving) has resulted in a bit of a loss. I might just carry on and see where I can get without making too drastic a change. Sugar cravings are my Achilles heel.

    Sorry to hear about the after effects of your dietry workaround, FatRab. Miserable for you both.


    9/31 please, Shaggy.
    Better is good enough.

    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.

    3 on the SNC for me, and 5 (I think, I might have lost count) of my 21 day target for October.
    I heard today that I've been shortlisted for a very exciting job, which is great news, and if I had transport would probably have gone and bought some prosecco to celebrate. However, as I'm lazy and still not feeling very well, I couldn't be bothered to walk to the shop so no fizz here tonight. I'm going to visit my mum tomorrow, haven't seen her since July as I've been working overseas, there will definitely be wine tomorrow!
