Weight loss! And thoughts on Day 8
I have lost over half a stone in just 7 days!
That's a good amount of weight!
Day 8 today! This is making me really happy!
And tonight, there are 14 of us going to a restaurant, all friends and a really nice gang of people.. there will be lots of drink about as after the meal everyone will be drinking, however, my boyfriend said he will stay on soft drinks with me too and we will just go to enjoy the company. I will drive.
I am pretty sure I wont give into temptation, I might even write on the inside of my hand a little memo to myself reminding me why I need to stay sober.
Happy Friday everyone !

Many congratulations!
When I went from January to August (prior to my last binge), I lost 35 pounds. I went from 224 to around the high 180s. Of course, a lot of that was also due to the intense cycling that I picked back up, but the other part was really good nutrition and no empty calories. My last binge did not last long, so it did not affect my weight. It is fantastic to hear about this. It feels good, doesn't it? I don't think you will give into temptation. You have too many things turned around, it seems. Do something nice just for yourself this weekend!

Sugar... That's great!
As of this mornings weight in I lost 15 lbs. down to 168. I was always 165 for years and years... So I have 3 more to go.
Pretty sure I won't give in to temptation? That's not good enough odds for me. Something to consider. I wanna see you back here tomorrow and say day 9. I get on a high when I string a few together... That gives me a sense of security. Until.....
Stay stong. Have fun.

Weight loss is highly over-rated, said NBC as she wolfs down eggs benedict for breakfast! :rotfxko

We changed our plans and spent most of the evening at a Car auction! Came home and we were both asleep (sober) by about 11pm!
Bought a Car, got an absolute bargain, so going to sell it now and make some cash - much more fun than waking up broke after being drunk all night! Oh.. an no hangover!
Though it was a bit of a stressful evening and so many times I thought to myself, it's Friday.. just one bottle....
.. and worse! I was on the phone for quite some time, and was doing doodles on a sketch pad... I was drawing bottles of Wine and Wine glasses! Obsessed much?!

I have gone from 11st 8lbs, to 10st 12lbs today.
Another 2lbs lost overnight!
It's funny how it affects us all differently isn't it?
Some of my friends don't gain weight on it at all, and others do! I was so envious of people who could drink and not gain weight - I am glad I do. It's the biggest incentive for me ever to keep off it really, which is pretty bad considering the bad and stupid things I do when I am drunk!

haha! you will shift you @rse in time! Go easy on yourself... caffeing helps! I swear that's what's helping me lose the weight (makes sense really as diet pills are full of Caffeine)
I ate 4 scotch pancakes with salted butter on for my tea last night... mm.. I am living on a diet of Whispas, Bacon, Scotch pancakes and fags!
Just got the Car back from the auction house and dropped it into an MOT! Knowing our luck it will fail and cost loads to repair!
My boyfriend says he needs a drink now after driving it down the motorway without tax and insurance... because a Traffic police officer was right behind him!!
He doesn't mind staying sober with me! Which is good.. because if he does, he can pi$$ off

After 3 weeks my old jeans from 5 years ago just about fit me again..... A zip up vest - I could not zip it up because of my fat stomach - now I can zip it up. My ten year old hand made belt is down 2 nothches - I can see the marks on the bellt where I used to fasten my belt. But also I have been watching my diet for about a month - lots of fresh veg and fruit grains salad olive oil chicken etc. But I think the trick is not eating after 7pm and if I do its an apple or carrot or tomatoe salad etc. I have lost about 9 lbs.
