Well, I made it yesterday but those poor Xmas Cookies....
First day down. I got through it. I posted last night how sick I was. I feel much better today. I got a little more sleep and am up early(for me). I am usually in bed until noon lately. I was up and down all night and every time those stupid cookies were calling my name. I know it is the alcohol/sugar thing but I have to be careful because of my gastric bypass or I will be sick.
Drinking my hot green tea now and am determined to get in my water today. I am so dehydrated that even my eyes are super dry and scratchy. Probably no gym today as I have so much to catch up on. Thinking I can go later tonight if I am super irritable.
Thanks everyone who offered support yesterday. It helped more than you know.

I'm glad your feeling better Usta. In the beginning I found it better to just do what my body was directing me to do minute by minute. If I was tired I slept, hungry I ate, couldn't sleep I would read. What ever it took to get through that particular day without drinking. Day one is a massive accomplishment. Your doing great!
Well done, lola.
I took really good care of myself in the first month. I ate what I wanted when I wanted it. I slept whenever I could - but that was inconsistent in that first month, it's just the way it goes.
I wrote in my gratitude list daily. First thing in the morning I came here with my coffee and read in the Spirituality section or posted in my Class of March thread. I walked.
Cookies. Can't go wrong there.

treat yourself as if you are getting over the flu......LOTS of rest, skip the workouts for a few days, give your body a break. LOTS of fluids....like water, tea, juice, soup/broth.
it takes TIME to detox and begin to recover. give yourself the gift of that time. don't rush it. slow and steady wins the race.
