My boyfriend and I met at a works training course. He was from the south, I'm from the north. He asked if I liked red. It's my favourite! I asked his name. That was it. He was called Troy. I'm Helen, I told him I was named after Helen of Troy. That was it for me. Almost 3 years. He works in the south and it's hard but he's…

I like this group. Giving up alchol is hard. I'm not ready like change_agent to just do the one drink thang! I've just gone my longest without alcohol and I still think about it every night. I still want a drink :ohwell: But I find great comfort and support in this group. I can say all this without people being shocked or…

arms are very important, slightly tanned with a toned look. Grrrrrr. Accents, I love my boyfriends accent, he sounds all posh, acts all posh and looks all posh but deep down he knows how to rough it up :wink: Tall dark and handsome just like Mr Darcy (in both BJ and P& P). Chivalrous - I love men opening doors for women…

there are some great topics that are locked in the forums, they have the answer to everything, and I mean everything you need to know. Eat the 1200 calories and the above poster is correct people massively under estimate calories consumed and overestimate calories burned. You can also search anything and you will find tons…

I've been reading this story all day so this is me bumping cos I want to know as well!! Good luck!!! :heart: :love: :wink:

I learnt that from Friends when Ross got stressed and thought it was the fear of triskets! Funny what you learn from tv!

what time are you getting up? The only way I managed to combat this going from working nights to mornings was make myself get up at 7am every morning, no matter what. DO NOT NAP! Soon your body clock will change but you have to get through the whole day and by 11am you're bloody shattered!

Day 13 is upon me and there is a staff party tonight which I have no intention of going to. I feel I am a lot older than the rest and I'm not sure I can handle being sober around them with an early start in the morning etc. This has made me realise that I don't think I'm quite ready to go to a party and not drink and still…

I'd just like to say, I am now on day 12. I thought about caving last night to relax myself because I had a big exam today, but I drank to cups of camomile and I actually slept ok last night considering nerves usually keep me up all night. Everyone on my course was like yay have a drink tonight, celebrate blah blah blah,…

Is that a bad thing with the old ketchup? Ha ha! I do love cheese but it in return loves my waist line so much so it doesn't leave it alone!!

What did I do?! Ha ha :tongue:

Day 10 done!

squirty cream right out of the can! parmesan pasta - when the waiter asks if you would like parmesan on your pasta and you reply "just leave the bowl!" breaded stuff and chips with cheese. I ate this for 5 months pretty much every night. bernaise sauce with steak. not the other way around! cheesy garlic bread, extra cheese…

Here's to day 10! And since the new year I have dropped three pounds according to my Wii. C'mon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :happy:

ok now I'm crying! You're right, we are all heros and I am proud of where I am today, it's just that picture had never popped into my head before and nothing so vivid like it was! thanks, you are a hero!

It's not often I read through every post on a topic and keep coming back to it, but I literally love this topic! I love hearing of everyone's food weakness! At the same time it makes me drool it also makes me realise we're all human and somebody said something so true. When we did eat all this, we would never have 'fessed…

well exactly you'll never know now!! It was someone messing around talking about eating 100 calories a day and drinking cat pee (as per HCG) but it's disappeared which means someone has gone to far and upset the moderators! Boo hiss!!!:cry:

I TOTALLY get where you are coming from, I was on same amount of days and then poof.... gone! Got so demotivated and lost my mojo. Having to build them back up now. But my friends were great they kept saying *they* knew how long I had been logging for. Made me feel a little better, but I do get angry when others are…

there is a bottle of champagne in the fridge looking at me. It's got a naughty glint in it's cork. I'm going to save it for a special occasion. There is also a rather nice bottle of shiraz peeking out of a cupboard. Had to pop him back fully in the cupboard, right to the back. Is it wrong I'm giving alcohol personalities??

be strong! I hate that "well that was it if you don't trust me then that's up to you" crap. *Go to a mates for the evening and tell him you need to think about what's been said. *Tell him you till give him an answer to your decision in 48 hours (or longer if you need) *Then pack a bag and leave. What he does in that next…

you have no idea how helpful this group is! It's nice to know other people out there are going through the same thing! Here's to Night 9! :drinker: :noway:

this is my 9th day without wine. I craved it last night and I mean CRAVED!!!! I came on here and told everyone I wasn't having a glass and all the comments wishing me luck and then congratulating me gave me a little bit of the glow that red wine gives me!!! This feeling will go away won't it? I'm not sure what to do with…

Oh god, I'm drooling :cry:

the vows you say? The vows that also say to be faithful to one another etc.?? :huh: Yeah ok. However on the other hand, he's a pretty stupid and bad cheater if he's leaving the messages on his phone???? If he's deleting his sent messages why isn't he deleting hers? Unless he trusts you so much to not check his phone. I…

Oh man I sooooo almost read reaction wrong!!!

I'm in! I really struggle with my love of wine. I'm cutting back big time, only drinking on special occasions. love the idea of this group :drinker: ha ha irony!

I used to get "oh you've got such a pretty face....." killed me everytime.

I'm bumping this cos godamnit it, I'm drinking camomile tea and it's making me happy!!

melted cheese, Stilton cheese, brie, smoked cheese, cheesecake. God I love cheese. I've been clean from cheese for a week now I come to think it!

you know this really p***ses me off! Doctors sometimes are completely useless! Any form of exercise is good and if you usually drive and you're walking WAY TO GO YOU!!!! My best friend is a morbidly obese doctor and she says herself she finds it hard criticising others when she herself is so badly overweight but she does…
