Is losing weight the ONLY reason why you want to stay AF? If it is not the only reason, I would hate for you to start drinking just because you are so discouraged because you aren't losing weight quickly. You have been so disciplined...
I'm sorry that your weight loss has plateaued It is very frustrating when that happens. You're probably going to get mad at me for saying this, but I would try eating lighter lunches for a couple of days to see if that helps. I realize I do diet differently than you do tho I really hope that the Aspen Clinic plan works out well for you Beef brisket usually does have a lot of salt in it. Many use a brine or a salt rub, but not all. |

Yes kay for right now being AF is my motivation to not drink and lose weight.
Even though I still know I am an alcoholic, I am believing still that I can learn to moderate my drinking. Like say a 2 beer limit. I just don't see being completely AF in my future. bizi

How long till your vacation? Is there anyway you can wait till say the start of it or even a few days before to drink again? I realize it might not matter in the end. But I think it does. I would like to see you get through the plateau and then decide. I know that sometimes the only way I lose more weight is odd as it seems is to eat a little different kind of food. More fatting food for me. Donna |

Thank you donna,
Interesting that you talk about a plateau. I just watched a great video talking about just that. I definitely think about what you said. She said it could be a month with out seeing a change in the scale....that would be so depressing. We leave next thursday. bizi

I think I will wait to drink until my vacation.
I also see my pdoc the day before we leave and it would be nice to tell her that I had been AF for a month. Thank you Donna. bizi

Congrats on getting that pound off, Bizi!
But it sounds like you are, at least in part, disappointed that you lost it and will not be drinking pre-vacation. The first time I was on the South Beach Diet, I plateaued a couple of times. When I went to a couple of forums, they said a cheat day could restart weight loss, and it worked for me. But that's a strict diet, so IDK if it would work for you I'm sorry that you aren't ready for your trip yet Will you have to spend a lot of time at your MIL's house? I know that you find that really stressful. You can bring your stevia birch beer and root beers with you to help you stick to whatever alcohol limit you decide on. I'm glad you got the AC on your car fixed. It's hot out. The trip there would be very uncomfortable otherwise. It was very smart of you to think ahead. |

Thanks, but honestly its you that is doing the work to stay AF Bizi.
Now I am concurring with Kay, its really hot here so the air fixed will be really nice. And drink lots of water while here too. So getting your other drinks will also help too. Donna |

I think I will buy a couple of cases to bring. Don't know if they will have it in indy??? zenia sodas are found at health food stores and whole foods where it is expensive. They are on sale at sandras. $13.50 a case(2 beers would cost me that) I am saving a lot of money not drinking!
Each day that I don't drink I feel a bit more in control of my drinking. Maybe I can drink moderately in INDY. Any way thank you guys for your support! bizi
