Welcome wishstar, I am new here and just wanted to say hi.
I know what you mean about the drinking and then eating, my ah has lost about 15+ lbs in the last couple months. He has gotten so skinny and is really looking old in the face. (people we know have said that to me)
Well I just wanted to say HI and I am seeing we are not alone as long as we can talk on the boards... I am finding alot of nice people here.
Take care and many blessings
