I love this site
Welcome Gardener and Kittykat!:welcome:
This is a fabulous site!
I'm 52 and although I own a condo and my idea of gardening is to buy fabulously big planters of flowers....I love to cook, too, and I used to LOVE my Chardonnay after work...and during the day on weekends, too.
Kittykat, I drank two bottles of wine on two occasions and OMG....the hangovers the next day:upset:...they were just god-awful.
Gardener...I post on the Monthly Abs thread, with a bunch of other long-term AF women (we're a close-knit bunch) and a lucky but occasional male.
:H. The key for me to quitting drinking was not only Baclofen (low-dosage....currently maintaining at 40 mgs per day) but changing my daily routine. I used to work out before work as it really got me pumped up for the day. At the end of a long day, I thought I "deserved" my wine. Now why did I deserve something that only made me fat, and too unmotivated to do anything else the rest of the evening? So, I started working out after work and found that once I had a pounding good work out...I not only didn't want to drink, but I wasn't interested in food either. I've lost 35 lbs. and I used to weigh between 115-125. I'm determined to get there....and when I do....I'm taking all my hard-earned money that I didn't spend on wine (and then later...scotch) and buy myself the most amazing kick-ass new wardrobe. Eye on the prize, my dear. Eye on the prize. Keep posting and reading. We're a loyal bunch!
