Feeling a Bit Down

One Too Many,

I too was overweight and it was directly related to AL because I was pretty reasonable with my diet. My last AF stint (which lasted 29 days and I am on a new one now) I joined Weight Watchers online. I knew I had to do something because without the AL I wanted to eat everything in sight! Check it out online. It is cheap and I have lost 15 lbs. I just knew I needed some type of diet so that I could control the eating. I use the core plan and LOVE it.

Also, take care of your skin. Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate. Use a good quality face lotion, night cream, etc. and drink a lot of water. Take your vitamins too! Within two weeks of being AF you will start looking like yourself again and the weight will start coming off. I think our bodies go through some type of "shock" when we go AL and it takes some time for to regulate. Good luck and let us know what happens.

Cedar,
I looked at some photos taken a year ago and I just about flipped! Who was that old woman!!!???? Today I look and feel so much younger and better than I have in many years! It takes a bit of time. Alcohol robs us of our "Vitality", which robs us of our youthful, strong appearance. AL robs us of our self esteem and our self respect. All of these things show in our appearance.

I agree with everyone here, give yourself a big atta girl for 7 Days! Begin working out, "just a little each day".....eat healthy, take your supps and most of all begin to change the "drinking mind set"......you will be amazed just a few weeks from now, how differenct you begin to look and feel!

just the swap from AL to tea herbal or regular (not for you Dolphin) or WATER can make a significant differance in days to your face to start with... that puffy 80 year old does go away lol
but just one night chugging and shes back looking at you...

i stopped ciggies about 8 years ago - didnt feel any great change as the effects FADED ...till after a month i started smoking again - back to pack a day - wholly shit within a day i felt like i weighed a ton and soooo unhealthy. was easier to feel the other way round....
