Ok, so I tried the strawberry pepper thing and honestly I couldn't really tell much of a difference which leads me to believe something's wrong with my tastebuds!!!! I mean first it was the salt on watermelon and now this?!? I wonder if being a vegetarian all these years has affected my tasters?
That cake looks yummy, Jennie!
Weasel....sounds good but I don't know what hanger steak is! (I apparently really do have food issues blah!)

GnikNus, I've had that one, so good 
Ok so what goes perfectly with Brie? Brie used to be my favorite (back in my wine drinking days), but now that I don't drink anymore, it's lost some of it's lustre for me. I want to love Brie again.

5pm arrived. Like a loud internal alarm clock calling me to that glass of wine. I know I'm doing the right thing by quitting just by how hard these last days have been. Yesterday, I went for a 5 mile run right about now.... today? Day 3 and still hanging in there by my fingernails.

Keep hanging on, segCurly! The first few weeks I had to change up my routine around my witching hour (2pm) and by doing that I was able to form new habits for that time of day, which included a nice treat....something sweet or a nice rich coffee....something special to look forward to.
It does get easier especially if you have a plan and if you've made a firm commitment to yourself to not drink no matter what.

Hang in there, segCurly. Post in here once a minute if that's what it takes. We all understand what you're going thru and we're all here for you.

Holidays. Bah. BAH, I say. Mother's Day, Memorial Day, Father's Day then multiple birthdays in June for people who have passed. I'm not too cheerful.
I get all self-pitying and start thinking poor me on holidays. I miss my family and would love to be having a BBQ somewhere with them - but they all died, dammit.
The beach walk today didn't snap me out of it like it normally would. I just started thinking about beer - and then I went to the thrift store to replace a bowl I need and there were all these people laughing it up over the shot glasses and. . . and. . .I had a bit of a struggle today. Totally out of left field.
It's over. I caved and bought Caramel Cone Haagen Daas. Don't even care that I'm 1288 calories over my goal. Well, I do care, but it's better than a Margarita.
Sorry. Not much of a whiner, actually. Thank God for ice cream, that's all I have to say.

I'm really sorry Bimini and Jennie. I can relate as my mom and sister are both gone as a result of addiction (which I guess is neither here nor there) and the family I've got left are addicts as well so yeah...can get a bit lonely on holidays.
Bimini....I had that very ice cream the other day for the first time and it's my new favorite!! And yes....I say it's 1200 calories well spent sister!
