Cutting Down Alcohol Thread

5/5 SNC and 11/31 AF days.

Thanks for the suggestion about reduced fat cheese, Shaggy. I'll give it another go, but all the ones I've tried in the past had a rubbery texture which isn't what I'm after at all!

The test will be tomorrow, when I get back from my voluntary thing early afternoon, knowing that there are four (or possibly even five) chocolate digestives in the biscuit tin left over from a packet ....

There were four and they didn't last long after that post. *sigh* Yesterday afternoon when I got back from the voluntary thing I remembered I had half a bar of chocolate stashed. That's better than a whole bar, right?

Feeling this pain at the moment! Change of diet is really clogging things up!

There are two things that work for me, four dried figs a day (Morrisons does an own brand type, sort of semi-dry, that I really like, or fresh cherries (tinned or frozen don't work). As the cherry season is relatively short, I tend to rely on figs. It may not be easy to fit it into a Slimming World plan though because obviously being dried fruit, they're high in sugar. Prunes, obviously, or any other plums, should do the trick.

I feel your pain.



Hugely well done on the 10% loss. That's really impressive.

It seems I spoke too soon yesterday - travelling for work and I succumbed to a drink to accompany my lonely pub dinner . It was only one, but I'm still cross with myself. Not being in my usual routine does not help with MSEness - has a few unnecessary spends too.

Any change in routine is a risk, so I tend to plan for it now, a sort of 'fail to safety' mindset. If you know you're going to be eating alone in public I would have thought that's a very tricky thing to feel confident and good about unless you have a strategy for dealing with it. I take a book, and then get so engrossed in it that I forget about where I am.

12/31 please, Shaggy.

Good afternoon,
11 please Shaggy
