Good Luck! Me and my sisters have just started (4th Nov) a plan to lose weight for my nieces wedding next summer (my youngest sister's daughter). I think it will spur me on knowing that I have to confess to them....that said DH and youngest DS have just organised takeaway for tonight :-/

Ooh, that's a good focus, after losing a few pounds I'll try and think of a goal next year!

I'll use the cat moon for next week's SNC if you want to join in. You could get 5!

Ooh yes please Shaggy. Can I have a target of 4/5! That is very kind of you.

Sleep well everyone.

An alcohol free Friday so 8/21 please Shaggy. No weight loss to declare, still on 9st 7lbs. I really must get my b*m in gear and stop my evening snacks.

Morning all, 9/21 for me today.

I had a lovely meal out yesterday which undid all my good weightloss efforts last week. Onwards and upwards.

Shaggy, please can you put me down for a full 5 cats on the SNC next week. I'm all in!

Morning , Shaggy I will SNC put me down for 5 please !
I have a girls night round a friends for her birthday later ,,, TBH I’m dreading it ,, I’m a bit low today , they are huge drinkers , and the sort that really don’t understand that people really do choose to be AF now and then !
I think I will buy some B Blue ,,, hopefully me with a bottle , rather than can of coke , may make them forget !!
So I’m not counting today yet ,,,,, will do when I get in ,, this is going to be my hardest day yet ,,,,,my life long friends , my drinking partners ,,,,,,,,,,,,
Wish me luck x

Good luck with this evening, Love a Sale. Seeing you with a bottle will probably mean they don't give it a second thought, and if you can arrive late so they've already had a couple before you get there, I can guarantee they won't even notice it's AF. I remember that feeling of dread and it's horrible.

I want my first ever cat on the moon this month. This is why I'm doing this!

An excellent reason, and it's a smiley I particularly like too!

I think I am taking a different approach to it.

I'm trying not to beat myself up if I drink because it's not the end of the world. I have proved to myself that I can control it and I'm not drinking as much as I used to. I've taken advantage of the 25% Tesco last week and my shed is fully stocked.

The old me would just drink it cos it was there, but now I don't feel that need. In fact, I actually prefer it to be there "just in case" (gosh that sounds bad), as it's better than me thinking, "Oh no, there's nothing in" and so I pop to the shop to get a bottle. And then because I've specially gone out for it, well, then I have to drink it, don't I?

Taking control of drinking doesn't mean we have to stop drinking altogether, not does it mean we should feel guilty if we want a drink or drink on days we'd intended not to. It's about 'mindless drinking just because' on a habitual basis. You've broken the habit and that's what it's all about. Well done.

Good luck with the weightloss everyone. I've kind of given up for the moment and it seems to be working rather better than trying to!

9/30 please, Shaggy.
