    60 Days! I did it!

    I did it! Today is my 60th day AF. If you would have told me in January I could do this and feel so good I never would have believed it.

    What do I see different in my life?
    I remember the last 60 days 100%
    I have had much more fun with my family and more connection with my husband
    I have energy
    I have lost 31 pounds since last November (20 of those since Jan 1)
    I have clearer skin, brighter eyes, no puffiness
    I have confidence in myself

    I could go on, but I just feel good.

    Now, for the challenge. Last night we were over at another family's for dinner and the adults were all enjoying wine. They had a glass out for me. I claimed dehydration and drank water during chatting time. During dinner I actually put the wine glass at my place and had a chance to sneak off with my husband and ask his opinion. My goal is to moderate and that was the kind of situation I want to be able to enjoy - wine with a great meal and friends. He said he supports me either way and left it to me. I chose not to. . . Today was day 60. Did I really want to stop at 59?

    I don't know where it goes from here but I made it 60 and I'll keep going ODAT.

    Thanks for all the support and friendship. . . I'm not hiding anymore.

          Tired,

          Very, very many congratulations and kudos for your 60 days AF and the ability to step "outside" a huge trigger situation and carefully consider your options.

          Also, good on you for discussing honestly with your hubby. Shows a lot of mutual respect.

                    Tired, what a beautiful post. You obviously made the right choice regarding the wine or you would not be as elated as you are.

                    I'm so very happy for you. You (and hubby) should be so proud of yourself. Good for you.

                    Your last line almost moved me to tears....
                    . . . I'm not hiding anymore.
                    That's fantastic! Keep up the great work. You deserve to be happy and healthy!

                    Love, Me

                        Thank you

                        Thank you all for your kind words of support. I told my husband when I posted my message yesterday and that within an hour there were 8 messags of congrats and support. I told him its the same when you post with a problem or challenge. He was floored by how much support there is on this board. I think he realized how important this has been to me.

                        For now I am staying AF and will ponder the decision of when to drink socially someday. Right now I"m waiting for the friends we dined with Saturday night to start asking probing questions to figure out if I"m pregnant. :-)

                            LOL.......yeah, people gotta find some other reason why you're not drinking, it can't be just because you don't want to!
