TTBD 3
By Wolfie | June 25, 2007
[TTBD 1 and TTBD 2 give the background to this post. Check 'em out if you get a bit confused!]
Well, it’s day 25 of the June project; apart from Saturday 16 when I had a planned day-off to help celebrate a friend’s birthday, I’ve been alcohol free all month. Not a big achievement to some, perhaps, but I have to tell you that today was one of those days when I really felt like I needed a drink (machines not behaving themselves , that sort of thing, always stresses me out and I usually relax with a beer or three when I get home) but I didn’t and it feels good to have developed my willpower to the point where I don’t waver in situations like that.
So, with the end of June fast approaching, it’s time to consider the July project. As I mentioned in TTBD 1, this involves the use of a product called Konjac Fibre to help with weight loss (the ultimate aim of stopping drinking in June). I’m going to continue with the teetotalling and start taking the Konjac and see if I can shed at least some of the extra weight that I’m carrying around.
Since embarking on this project, I’ve been visiting a site called Fat Happens every now and then; it’s a sort of social networking, support site for anyone trying to lose weight. The one thing that comes across from all the stories that are on there is that weight loss is right up with giving up smoking as one of the most difficult things to achieve - and maintain the results. Many smokers backslide - some after a couple of weeks, some after several years - and many slimmers also backslide. I’ve done it myself. The only way to do it is to make a permanent change to your lifestyle; I’m hoping that this time I’ll be able to achieve that.
I’ll keep you posted.
