My husband complains constantly about not feeling well and I've told him it's because of how much he drinks. I've also told him his anxiety is highest when he goes through withdrawals.

Last night he told me he wasn't drinking because he wanted to feel better, but he wasn't happy discussing it, and didn't want to make a big deal of it. He said he almost picked up beer yesterday, so I assume he plans on drinking on weekends.

I'm glad he's trying. It must be extremely hard for him. I'll support him if he lets me. We'll see what happens.


I managed to find a pair of shorts at kohl's. They were $27.50, marked down from $44. I almost didn't buy them because I wasn't in love with them, but I realized the problem was I'm really not in love with my body right now. I managed to resist a trip to the mall and didn't buy anything other than what I set out to. I was a good girl

I'm grocery shopping solo today. It's better for me to do it in the morning when it's cool rather than waiting until my husband gets home when it's hot as a SOB. He was all too willing to agree… lol… that desire to be helpful disappeared pretty quickly.

I am hoping to find motivation to find my summer clothes soon.

I am also hoping they are to big on me. I've been working so hard
to lose weight. I know from last summer late in year I've lost
almost 10 lbs. But can't seem to get past that 204 or so weight.

I really want to step on one day and be at 199. I will make it
but its just not happening yet.

You should be so proud of yourself for losing that 10 pounds and continuing to work out Donna!!! Lots of people plateau, and sometimes they hire a trainer for a month or see a nutritionist to discover some little secret of how to get over the hump. I really admire your persistence

I'm really unhappy with the weight I'm at, but I shouldn't ***** because I haven't been doing anything about it. I bet if I got on the exercise bike consistently I could shed a few pounds since I'm bottom heavy. It hurts like hell though because it's not a natural movement for my legs anymore, and I have to lay down and rest for twice as long as the time I spend doing, but I'll probably get used to it if I stick with it. I'm going to start doing it in the morning before I get distracted online.

Grocery shopping went well. Because I went early, the store was quiet despite the fact that it's Memorial Day weekend. I got home before it hit 85 degrees…
I decided to take all the bags in because it was going to be over 90. I took several trips to dump them in front of our recessed patio and brought them in through the slider. I shouldn't be doing things like that, but my husband didn't protest. I'm already a fall risk. I should leave all the heavy items and non-preishables in the trunk for him to bring in. I set a precedent, so we're back to where we were, and I'm very sore today. Next time I will leave the bags for him to handle so he doesn't start to expect me to do that all the time.

He bought a 30-pack yesterday and drank 17 beers. He barely made it through diner and passed out before 7:30pm. He woke up around 7 this morning and must be feeling okay because he's in a good mood.

I bet you were tired from shopping then bringing them in and putting things away.
how does one fit 17 beers in ones stomach?

Good question????????

I was exhausted after bringing in all the groceries and putting them away. I napped for a couple of hours afterwards.

My husband got home early from work and drank from 2-7:30pm Friday, but he doesn't always spread it out that much. All that beer doesn't stay in the stomach. It's liquid, so he urinates frequently, but not as often as you'd think.

I don't know how much he drank last night, but he finished off the rest of the 30-pack, walked to the store, bought a 24-pack, and got into that.

i guess it is good that he did not drive and walked instead....

The liquor store is in the plaza that I've mentioned I've walked to a couple of times. It's close by and takes him no time to walk there. Nevertheless, it was 90 degrees out and I'm sure driving was tempting, so walking was a good decision.

My husband got lured into doing yard work for his stepfather yesterday (but he was only there for 4 hours this time) and may go out with his mother today (and that usually turns into an all day affair). I was looking forward to spending time with him this weekend, so I'm disappointed. He drinks when he sees them, and in the evenings in general, so I'll miss a lot of sober time with him.

He had already started drinking by the time he got home around 3pm. I decided not to take my regular nap because I wanted to spend more time with him, but being overtired and dealing with three days of his very heavy drinking wore on me and I was very irritable. He was in bed by 9.

My mother-in-law wanted my husband to take her to the cemetery today. It's raining, so I hope that means they won't go out. But there's always the chance she'll want to go out to lunch instead. When he took her out to lunch on Mother's Day, he left at 11am and got home at 6pm.

He hasn't taken me out anywhere in years. I'm not exaggerating.
