Diet and AFness still going well. Today is day 5. I've lost 2 pounds already in that funny way you do when you first start a diet. Hoping for an AF weekend. Don't want to wreck my hard work on Friday night! No big plans for the weekend so it shouldn't be too hard.

I think the easiest way to lose weight must be to start a diet, lose the 2lbs and stop, instantly.

Two weeks later, start another diet, lose 2lbs and stop, instantly.

Carry on until the target weight is achieved.

It's got to me more effective than struggling on when everything's staying the same despite never even looking at a chip.

Which, by the way, is what I intend to eat tonight because I've got to have a tooth out which we thought was salvageable. I already have the Temazepam, in case the situation deteriorates and I have to have it done at short notice. I'll gird up my loins for most things I've managed to avoid having a tooth out while conscious is a situation I've managed to avoid all my life one way or another and I'm not looking forward to it.

21/30 please, Slim Shaggy.

Oh dear Honey Bear - I hope the tooth doesn't come out in a way that causes you any pain Normally dentists these days paralyse half your face so it doesn't hurt but it's still not a good experience. ((((Honey Bear)))) x

1/16 for me please Shaggy - good luck with your 30 day challenge! I initially started wavering when I got in from work and then remembered I'd said on here today would be AF. Good night everyone.

Popping in with two more AFDs to report for last week - 17th and 21st. Up to 3/16 please Shaggy.

HB, good luck at the dentist!

Can I join in please? Sitting here with a large hangover, stressing over spending too much last night and have spent the morning in dispute with Uber over fares last night. When I could have just as easily driven and saved all of this! I'm a weekend drinker but tend to binge and am getting fed up with it. This tends to be when I overspend and feel rubbish. So can I join in please. I'd like to go dry until the end of July please. Thank you

Thanks CathyBird and Wanna Bee Free for the gentle dental vibes. I was doing my teeth last night and realised one on the other side of my mouth is also rattling in a strange way (probably a loose filling) that I'm praying will stay in place until Monday morning when I can get yet another emergency appointment to have that temporarily sorted out while we make yet another appointment to sort whatever the new problem is. In the meantime I've eaten half a box of soft-centred salted caramels to cheer myself up and I AM NOT GOING TO STRESS ABOUT ANY OF THIS. :tremble:

Welcome Scarey! :wave: Sorry you've lost a morning to dealing with Uber after what should have been a fun night out. Keep posting - it'll really help get to grips with the habit.

22/30 please, Shaggy.
