Good job. It is so encouraging to hear how far you have come.
-
Way to go! You are an inspiration.

Do you guys count carbs, calories, or both? My mother has lost weight on this type of diet and I am contemplating doing it too. I just don't know exactly how it works. Could someone help me get a better picture?

I am not European but I live in Belgium. Let me tell you, but I think you know this already, being fat in Europe sucks! There are so many skinny people here! I am about 18 kg overweight and don't have much of a support system here since I am from America and my family lives there. I married a Belgian and we decided to move…

Yay! Day two of no cookies or chocolate! I am feeling good.
-
Wow good job!
-
I also know how you feel. Cookies are my favorite too. Restraint doesn't work, neither does substitution. Ugh so frustrating.

Birthday is over. I had 2 glasses of wine. Back to sobriety for a while.

I might not drink; it depends on what we do. He has big plans for us on Friday night

I've been sober for about a week. I am planning on keeping it going. My birthday is on the 14th. I might have a drink then but will stay away from alcohol the rest of the time.

My husband and I talked this weekend and it was a big misunderstanding. He truly believed that he was helping me because he would be sacrificing something too. He can be totally clueless about some things and I think this was one of them. Thank you for all your comments.
-
Thanks to everyone for the advice! Today he's been super nice to me and extra helpful around the house. It's like he thinks I will forget what he said if he is nice enough.
-
Congrats on your sobriety! I too am staying away from alcohol; only on big feast days I allow myself one glass of wine. No more at the end of the day just to unwind.
-
Sounds great! Me too!

Went for a walk tonight And one session of my Jillian Michaels DVD Roped in 30. Pretty good considering the kids were home with me and we're stuck at home because it is so cold.

Happy New Year!

Do you like to write onsickmom? I find it helpful to keep a journal sometimes when I can't get out of my own head. That or go for a long walk.

So I had a glass of wine yesterday with my husband and mother -in-law. Only one and I didn't feel any bad afterwards. One glass on New Year's and no more alcohol for a while.

Christmas can be an emotional time; both good feelings and bad. Kids had fun, hubby didn't quite measure up. Wishing I could be with family that lives far away. Just trying to keep calm and breath.

Day 2 and going good. I have found some time for myself and I am not so busy. Thank you for all the advice onsickmom. I am definitely going to stay away from alcohol for a while. It's funny, in an ironic sort of way. I Am the type of person that can just have one drink. Now that One drink is making me feel bad. Ugh, so…

Day 2 and going go

I am not doing so hot. I feel so stressed out and have no time to exercise or do anything for myself. By the end of the day I just want to relax and have a drink. Usually one or two but I have always been a lightweight but now my body can't handle any amount. I need more ideas on how to unwind without the "help" of…
-
I plan on having 1 glass of wine on Christmas and one on New Year. I think that should be enough.
-
Even though you had a bad day, you still had the courage to log it. Good for you! I am not sure I would have that courage.
-
Thanks @onsickmom !
-
Has a December group started yet? I can't find it
-
I am having a hard time sticking to this as well so you are not alone, Tremellas. I get so caught up in doing things for others that I don't do things for myself.
-
I went out to eat with friends and just had sparkling water. Yay me!
