Good for you on Day 2, Babes! Once you're through the weekend you'll be just about at a week.

I'm confident you can slay these beasts. Do you think you can put forth every ounce of effort right now to simply Not Drinking? Leave the effort to attain/maintain a particular weight for later? I know how very stressful fretting over either or both of these things can be and am certain the booze needs to go first. I think the improvements you will see in your skin, hair and eyes will help with the looks thing. It does with me anyhow.

Thanks for checking in!!

I am trying to do it as a combo as it is a trigger for me and I don't want to let the obsession and depression fester any longer than necessary. I will focus on creating good habits. I know how to as I used to be an extremely healthy eater and avid exerciser until just a year or two ago, maintaining a healthy BMI and losing all my baby weight. It is just a matter of simply doing it. I have suffered from depreszion long before I had a drinking problem and besides the weight and low motivation, no real physical effects. I rarely drink every day and the escalation in the amount has just been for a few months, so I have gotten off fairly easily so far in terms of no physical withdrawal symptoms. 2 days is not a big achievement for me. I do that routinely as I have more sober days than not. However, I need some consistency, like not drinking period and making healthy choicez.
