I keep falling behind here...
Space...since your replied a couple pages back...
When you had asked me which one had I wanted to deal with first, weight or drinking. I think I have to tackle with these both head on. I can't do one without the other. Since alcohol is full of empty calories.
My days I eat healthy, it's my nights where I drink a litre of wine (hello 1,500 calories) and dig into a bowl of pasta (probably another 1,200) and wonder why over a year I had gained 50lbs.
Gee!
I think that is what is motivating me as well to stay away from the booze. When I see the numbers go down on the scale. But sometimes when it doesn't budge it's easy for the addictive voice to come out and say "see?? It was never the wine that made you fat! So come on. Lets have a glass!"
We all know it was never a glass though...
I have had weeks without the booze. Just those three days for some reason the voice was stronger. Not sure why. Maybe I wasn't doing something right?
But I am going Mon-Fri without the wine. Sat is harder because my boyfriend will have some drinks on his weekends (he doesn't drink like me) and then Sundays are harder because I drank Saturday.
I just need to break out of this habit thing.
Definitely would love to give the hypno CDs a try.
I have yet to PM Play and she also suggested a book too I need to check out.
I definitely understand the time thing. I am always running out of time. So much to do. Maybe that's why the voice is stronger lately to drink? Because I am not taking the time to nurture myself?
Also I am having a little bit of issues here and there with relationships and with myself I guess and I might need to deal with that instead of going to the wine.
Good on you Space for trying to quit smoking! )
I know this is going to sound horrible but sometimes I wonder if I start up again if it'll be easier for me to quit drinking.
Crazy thinking. I know.
Thanks so much for the advice Space.
And you're right Houtx. Doing something positive everyday will help. Dwelling on the past does nothing and will only lead to more drinking, destruction, guilt and a life where nothing comes from it.
I have accomplished so much more from not drinking than I have from when I did.
I wish I could have done more but I just started this journey.
Like everyone is saying. We can't beat ourself up.
Wednesday I start 200mg and will sit there for a while.
Lots of luv,
Bri.
