    Ok, I need to get a grip here. It's 17th June and I've only had 5 af days this month. I feel dreadful, my stomach isn't enjoying it, I'm not getting to the gym because I feel lethargic... and so on!

    I'm determined not to drink for the next 7 days, I want to feel healthy again.

    Here goes...!!


    I'm on 4...but today is a new day....there are still 14 days left in June!
    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.

    Hi All
    I am a long time lurker and have bitten the bullet to join.
    I've never posted online so please bear with me.
    I am so cross that I can't get the booze under control, so need help please. I regulary drink wine and don't have an off button, so best not to start......easier said than done.
    Fed up with my lack of willpower and feeling rubbish all the time!
    I am going back and reading the posts, so will take me a little while, so apologies for not acknowledging the events on here yet.
    Feeling ashamed and vunerable and to cap it all I just lost my job-so now can't afford alcohol anyway.
    I would like to be able to "take it or leave it".
    Baby steps.

    For those trying to lose weight - this is interesting.



    https://www.bbc.co.uk/food/articles/how_to_lose_belly_fat_in_four_weeks?xtor=ES-211-

    It tells me I have to eat less than 1772 calories to lose weight. To lose 1 pound a week I have to eat 500 calories less than 1772 - so 1272...that's not much! I'm already on 1100 :o today.


    It's no wonder those wine calories at the end of the day are messing with my diet!
