OMG, my husband leaves today for a week and its when I struggle also!!!
I'm in.
I'm on day 6 of RJs plan (topa, CDs, supps, and exercise)
Being accountable to you and LTG and one would be great!
I'm ready to be AF
And, one, I thought the same about what "big" thing you would stick in and "beak" wasn't it!!!!!

Can't believe I did Saturday and Sunday AF!! Went out for a family meal tonight and honestly didn't miss AL. I let DH have a couple of pints and drove home - is unheard of!

Haven't discussed my drinking issues in detail with my Teens, but they do know that I have a new charm bracelet, and when I meet a goal I've set myself re Alcohol I get a new charm - so the next one will be Saturday, after my seven days.

We have a social event on Friday, but after some well aimed (they hurt) remarks from a friend I'll be abstaining rather than modding. I know I can have just as much fun AF.

Lilmea - no I've never been on a horse again, and not much opportunity here in Sinvegas.

Skinny Cow - start again, ITS OK!

I'm off to put my ZERO in drinktracker, happy rest of the day/night to all the DINAO folks.

Good for you and if you PM me your address I will mail you a great S/S charm for your new bracelet, on your 30 day AF celebration.

Welcome Bird... let's do this!

Hahahah.. Oney... see? I 'm not the only one!
(Wob musta made good on his promise and took the kidlings off her hands so she'd finally get some rest. Shhhhhh... let's be quiet and let her sleep.)

Btw... I'm going to start another thread... there's something that's really bothering me but I don't want to get into that here.

Whats this drink tracker?
Sweaty Betty, I love the charm bracelet idea! I might do that after my AF week! That could be one of my many rewards of being AF.

Hi everyone! Sounds like we're all doing good here. Great to see that :h

Hi all,
Everyone sound charged up and ready to do this.

Went to a movie with hubby today. Saw a pretty good comedy one were I actually laughed out loud several times. Then we went out to eat. And after did alittle shopping. After about 30 minutes I went from a really good mood to really wanting a drink and wanting to cry. All the way home I tried to figure out what happened. I had alittle piece of real surgary desert. I think that was it. I think I had a sugar spike. I thought this all out on the way home and by the time I got there the craving was done. This may seem like a very small thing. But in my other life I would simply have had a drink.
So anyway I'm going to stick with my tea and honey and maybe a cookie now and then.

Well I hope everyone has had a good and AF day.

Sunshine, thanks for starting this thread.




Sunshine-I'm so glad you started this thread. :smile:

:l No thank YOU guys (well, girls) for being here!

I'm a little down, I guess... I quit the drink, I quit the smokes... now I really need to quit the food. I HAVE to lose some weight... I HATE myself right now.. I'm so uncomfortable. But, the not eating/or less eating really isn't coming along all that well. *sigh

But.. drinking is not an option Actually, it was barely even a thought today

Good job, lilmea! You toughed it out. And you can do it over and over again. February--usually the bleakest month for me--is going to be great!

However, I am wondering if it is possible to lose 50 pounds in two weeks :H We leave for our all-inclusive resort vacation in a few weeks...nothing fits. I went out yesterday and bought a couple of great dresses--love a 75% off sale. However, now I am sitting here eating a big fat burrito--mg:--soon I will be busting out my granny pants--at least it is fat free beans, fat free tortilla, low-fat cheese, lite sour cream and lots of tomatoes and lettuce.

Yep, a diet is in order also.

Might as well go whole hog with this thing.

Oooohh--unfortunate choice of words, huh?:H

have you all seen the commercial with the 2 fat carton characters and there fat carton dog? She's holding a bottle of water and says My hubby stopped drinking soft drinks and lost muy boo coodle pounds. (and he gets real skinny) She sighs and spills her water in the dog dish. The dog drinks the water and immediatly gets skinny.

I'm afraid to even get my shorts out from last summer! lol

:H whole hog, huh? Roasted, with an apple? :H

Never mind summer clothes - I can't fit into stuff I bought a month ago. So not funny.
Btw, Lilmea... 2 cross eyed thumbs up for toughing it out today! 'Atta gurl!

hi sistas, sorry i've been a bit low key - forgot that some of our besties were flying in from Oz yesterday...luckily they're not HUGE drinkers...well the boy half of the team has been known to put 'em away but hey, I can't concern myself with what other people are doing right now.
So we went for pizzas & o the park with them yesterday...and then a coffee...no al (WOOHOO) because AINAO for me right now.
Everyone seems to be doing well...thanks all for the encouragement...you probably don't realise you've all given me. Special thanks to Sunshine for starting this.
Sea myfriend...I'm glad you're here too.
Hey Sweaty - you in Oz?? What with the cockatoo watching & all??
LOVIN' YOU ALL!!
