Techie, I said "I need to lose half a stone" a couple of times. You have to say something to get past the moment, but then it seems to be alright.

Overit and Mamabear, I drank a little too last night. Two cans of lager. I have drunk far more in the past, but last night, and today, it seems like a lot for some reason.

Putting the 0 on the tracker at the beginning of the day seemed to work. Hubby invited me to meet him for a pizza when he finished work. He had a red wine, I hesitated, but I'd been out all day and was really hot so I had a diet coke!! He never said a word. At one point his red wine seemed more on my half of the small round table than his, but I don't like red much anyway.

It has occured to me that way back in January, when I first found this place one day with bad memories of the night before and a very bad hangover, I tried really hard. I managed 11 days I think, I can't remember now. Since then I've had lots of day ones, but I don't think I've tried very hard at all.

Hope you're doing well at the party Johnnyh!

Yip. The journey is the goal I like to say.

Made it back safe from the party. My wife is a little drunk and it irritates me a bit. But then she had to put up with this from me for years non stop. It makes me realise how annoying I must have been.

All in all a nice civilised party actually.

Don't you beat yourself up either mamabear! At least we're all trying, which is better than not trying at all. And we all recognise its a problem, or we wouldn't be here. I'm so glad I managed to get out "diet coke please" at the pizza place. I was driving, so might have had just one beer, but that would have started me off and I probably would have stopped for some beer or wine on the way home.

I bet you are drinking less than you would be if you didn't come here every day? I know I am, however band I am some nights.

Nighty night Odat family. What an exhausting day.

Mama Bear and everyone else. I luv you guys. Just keep doing what you're doing. As long as you're fighting you're not losing, right?!!

Be blessed.

Sorry Johnnyh, I didn't see your post! You are back and didn't drink, thats really good! I'm glad the party went well.

I'm going to put another yellow 0 in the drink tracker for tomorrow before I go to sleep, it worked for today.

I found Techies quiz. I seem to be Omega6 deficient and Allergic, now I'm seriously worried because it mentioned damage to the immune system. And there I was worrying about my heart and my liver! Oh well, I can try my best from now on and see what happens.
