Day by day my friend. Having some tea, doing some desk work, going to wind it down. Getting that grove going is the hard part. Harder than maintaining. Krish:

I seem to be very short with my answers and p!%%ING people off. I don't know why I think a drink will solve my problems. I guess I'm just looking for an escape. Hang in there Alice. I'm sure it will pass. EXACTLY, I am grumpy too! I seem to be very short with my answers and p!%%ING people off. I don’t know why I think a drink will solve my problems.

Welcome back, Krish! You CAN do the 90 days! Kathy and Mary, I have to admit I am struggling a bit too. Just getting a bit grumpy about the whole thing. I know it's a phase, and I am determined to make it to March at the very least. I'm still grumpy, though! DH and I are working really hard on a project together and he has a couple of glasses at the end of a long day of work and I have....sigh. I'll get there! LOL, Mary,

I've been feeling like having a little party for myself lately. I seem to have the same problem as Alice when it comes to eating and feeling like I deserve to eat whatever. After I stuff myself I have no desire to drink. I bought carrots and other healthy foods but a carrot just doesn't cut it when the choices are a beer or a carrot. That's when I turn to chips and peanuts. I think I've gained a few pounds. It is so damn depressing. I have to say that I seem to be thinking it through a lot more before popping a can of beer. Not easy when the husband is having a drink. I am just feeling sorry for myself but feeling so proud for what I have accomplished so far. All I can do is take it one day at a time. Alice & Kathy, I will be looking for you everyday as we conquer February. Amanda, it was good to hear how much fun you had on your trip without the booze. I hope I can attain your peace at some point. Welcome back Kirsh. Grey Wolf, I hope you feel better soon. Reid, way to STAY! SEG, glad you stuck around.

I would concur with SEG re the weight stuff. More protein curbs the cravings for carbs/sweets and helps with weight loss. Couple that with increased exercise and weight will come off. SEG..now I will feel extra dumb if I try it..cause you did it. Sheesh..Good motivation though, a little guilt....I am sounding like my mother...
