My drunken NSV

JaenaM

Ok, last night I was in a mood and wanted to DRINK! I'm not a big drinker these days so those moods are getting more and more rare; they must be capitalized upon when they arise! My NSV is not that I got drunk, promise. It's that I got drunk on vodka, ate pizza and butterscotch pudding and basically had a total night of indulgence but I did NOT binge, tracked everything, and I stayed in my calorie range. Drinking has always been a binge trigger for me so not binging and not even wanting to was something new. I only had 4 shots of vodka total but it was enough to compromise my sanity with food... but it didn't! ALSO, I was drinking with a smoker girlfriend (I just let go of smoking a couple weeks ago) and she was smoking like a chimney. I did not smoke and I did not even want to (drinking is always the thing that brings me back to smoking too). Ok THEN, I got up at 5:30 this morning and went for an hour long hike. How do ya like them apples? It's so nice REALLY knowing that I've turned a corner and made that change. It's like I shed 1000 pounds, on the inside. Now if my outside wants to catch up I'd be super happy with that too! I don't see a big difference yet but I sure do FEEL it!

That is awesome! You go! I m still having a hard time letting go of the smoking thing, i cant seem to kick it. The drinking trigger i totally understand as well-so to resist like that while drinking with a buddy that smokes like a train, thats awesome!

Nice work - very well done! Much better discipline than I would have had!

WAY TO GO!!! I couldn't have done it... I'm trying to ease myself away from the alcohol and smokes and it's tough. Espcially since my hubby just deployed again and I'm fighting the lonlinesses/depression, etc. You've given me hope that binging after drinking doesn't have to be the "norm".

Thanks for sharing your NSV! Congrats!
