Another week down. 3 more pounds down. The scale showed 294 tonight. The 280's are within sight.
Sorry to those facebook friends that had to deal with my mini crisis Friday night. I committed to not drinking for 12 weeks while doing the Body For Life challenge. The decision is completely about losing weight. While I drink(drank) more than I should, I never felt I had a drinking problem. I certainly sometimes have a stop drinking problem. I've gone through a few long sober spells, and never needed a beer during those times. I went nearly 2 yrs without when I was concerned with a possible liver problem. My issue with alcohol is that I use it to cope with my demons and those night can get ugly. Friday night I was in one of those moods that had me really down on myself. I was out taking advantage of my "free night" from my diet, but hanging out at Austin's Steakhouse's bar I felt really by myself. Surrounded by tons of couples having a great night out I felt about as alone as ever. I wanted to quite that demon with a Flying Fish beer (or a few) and it was extremely testing. I managed to get through the dinner without one though. :)
