Well it has been a week since I quit drinking wine, not to say that I won't have a glass now and again but had been hitting it pretty hard for a couple of years. Had become sick to death of having it run my life, the expense, the worry that I don't have enough.
One day I am having breakfast with my friends who are both pretty heavy drinkers and they had both been off alcohol for a week, I am the only one drinking. Went to the store and for the first time in over 2 years bought NO WINE!
I have never had an addictive personality like one of my kids has but realized I had been doing a lot of the same behaviors.
Yesterday was at my son's house for my birthday party and drank only water! Wow people noticed, guess I wasn't so good a hiding.
Haven't lost any weight yet, have been more mindful of calories for the past week, topped out at 240 AGAIN.
Embarking on this journey again of watching calories, increasing my daily activity and starting over again after I had lost over 85 pounds.
Not disheartened or disgusted with myself, actually congratulating myself on making the move and so far sticking with it.
One day at a time for now!
