Morning ODATERS!

Wow, I guess everyone is waking up later and later these mornings.
Well, I did it! Day 7 AF and NF today. I'm honestly finding it easier to do both at the same time. In my life they go together so to get rid of them both makes it easier.

Already in one week I have noticed a change in my skin - my energy - however it's funny, wow do I ever crave water now! Anyone else notice that going AF? I have done longer stints than this in the past but it's been a while so I don't really remember. Anyway, I'm happy, my goal was to get to 7 days and I reached that, now my next goal is to get to 10 - as they say, baby steps.

But i need this thread to do it so I'll keep logging on.

Hope you guys all have a great day!

Love and hugs,
Uni

Hi Uni and very well done! Respect and all that.

Yeah I've noticed drinking loads of water and weeing a huge amount, however I think that I miss the sugar in AL and that takes a while to adjust to for your energy etc.

Keep it going.

Hi Uni, Mad Mummy and all to come

Well done on the 7 days Uni. I did weight watchers years ago and continue to drink lots of water since so I dont notice any difference. Still have the sweet tooth, nothing I do seems to get rid of that.

Beautiful spring day here and spent the morning watching my daughter play in a schools hockey final. They lost but put their hearts and souls into it. Very enjoyable.

Off now to catch up on the dreaded housework!!

Good Morning all ODATers!

Wow, everyone is doing a great job! Keep up the hard work. I am currently on day 2 AF, and my goal is the AF April! I am determined to buy that new swim suit with all the money I save and hopefully shed a few pounds and tone up!

Hope everyone has a great day.

Good morning everyone! Congrats to all of you who have been AF! I went 3 days and then gave in last night. But, 3 days is a record for me, so I am happy with that. I am hoping next week I can go for 4 days. All of you going for an AF April are brave and I hope you make it....what a great accomplishment that would be!

Hey Everyone,
My goal is to be AF at least until my family goes on vacation April 20. I'd like to mod when we're away for the week. I've been doing pretty darn well with modding, but I need an AF stretch to remind me of how good it feels to abstain. I had two glasses of wine last night, so I missed the boat on an AF April, but I'm going to hang in there until the 20th now. ODAT.

By the way, I totally get the mood problems...My irritable/depressed/stressed out moods both trigger drinking and result from drinking...But I do know every time I give it a rest for a few days, I start to feel cheerful again!
