I'm doing well and hope everyone else is doing well too. Keeping our heads above water.
I've been focusing on my Weight Watchers plan so much everyday that it really takes the focus off of cravings/drinking thoughts.
I've lost 3 lbs already this week! 42 lbs more to go.
I've been drinking a lot of water lately because I realized wow, when I was drinking, I hardly ever drank water and our bodies really needs plenty of it.
So that's where I am now! Sort of keep having these mini melt downs though about everything crashing down on me personally- not my surrounding life like family. My drinking, anxiety, weight, back pain issues, pouring my heart out overdramaticly to my doctor offices psychologist about my drinking and depression- only to find that my depression was just from my drinking! Ahh. What a year. So excited for this year to be over. 2016 will be what I make it. I can continue on the path I'm on now and one year from now my whole life will be 100% changed for the better,
Or i can get weak and break and be worse off than I was a month ago. Hmm. The choice is ours.
Great job on the WW and sobriety Goldensands! It's easier to lose weight when we aren't drinking! I wasn't losing any weight despite not drinking and dieting, but at about 4 weeks I've noticed a change. I've lost 5 pounds in the last 7-8 days. (24 total over the last few months since I started my exercise and diet). I'm sure it will slow down, but it's nice to see the empty calories I wasted on alcohol finally kick in.
I'm still bugging a bit about not being able to relax with a glass of wine over dinner, but it looks like that is where my fight is going to be.
My husband reminded me that many "normal" drinkers don't even have wine when out to dinner and that its just a habit of mine and currently in my mindset. Hopefully in time this mindset will change. I know that on my way home from work I rarely get the urge to stop by the market and buy some wine, and I used to get that everyday.!!!! Time time time!!!
