  • Not exactly drinking home alone. My husband has been my partner in crime over the past 9 years. Got to the point of him making me drinks or cracking a beer for me without my asking ...would always set before me. Was like it became habit and he knew what I liked. But also was hard on days I just wanted to take a break with…
  • I hear sugar cravings are a side effect of dropping the booze. So if that's the case, it will pass. Hang in there!

  • So funny, I started 6 days ago and was thinking of posting the same! Cleaned up my diet food wise over the past two years, but could not shake the binge. Beer is my go to choice, but I can throw down whatever! And I am not talking about social drinking. It became a daily thing at home. Yes it's wrecked my figure, but what…

The main thing I deal with is being completely drained for the first day. But I can deal with that any day over feeling crazy.…
  • You look A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. Congrats!!!!
  • I don't think he is trying to sabotage. Probably just habit and new ones are formed over time. In relationships, boundaries should be a given. But sometimes a polite reminding is necessary. Let him know that you would be happy to help him take things out to the garage ect before of afterwards, but that you need a set time…
  • Gluten! Once I started paying attention and avoided food with it, what a difference! But not in the way you are referring. It's like freakin glue in my system! lol All of my life I thought I just had issues. And would take Aloe Vera capsules daily to alleviate. As soon as I cut this garbage, everything worked right. No…
  • You look awesome!! That's a tough choice. lol Just an idea here...I don't know what your routine is, but maybe check out the following: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/1090814/one-year-can-change-your-life-pic-heavy/p1 She started getting more curves *after* she implemented heavy lifting. How far you go…
  • I am so sorry for your loss!! I lost my mom unexpectedly when I was 27. Nothing prepares you for that! Definitely keep loved ones near and give yourself time to grieve. I am so proud and happy for you in that your taking control and making changes in your life health-wise! I would be happy to add you and cheer you on!
  • I hate saying that I'm not drinking!! So annoying the reactions. But the place it is the hardest to resist is at home as my husband likes a drinking buddy and I can throw em down! He will keep them coming whether I ask or not. Pretty much been like that over the past nine years until now....heading in a bad direction…
