Moderation Gang (MoGa) - an ongoing discussion of moderate drinking

I fell off my goal last night. I feel discouraged and weak. Just not coping well.
 
Hi Mosty. 
 
Camiol, of course you're bummed, but you sound resilient even so.

Moderation Gang (MoGa) - an ongoing discussion of moderate drinking

Hi everyone. I suddenly realize tonight that I am totally used up. My brother and sister are fine. They have spouses now. I can stop trying to fill in for our mother. My sister has two beautiful babies and my brother has beat his cancer for now.
 
I need to take care of myself and my husband. I weigh more than I have ever weighed. I've been blowing up like a balloon for six months.

Thanks, Turq, my plan is to exercise and take time to reflect. Just like a muscle needs to tense and relax.
 
Marylizy, I've been thinking about you. Don't let the north central Florida sinkhole suck you down.

New strategy to remind me of new routines: I hung a "stop sign" in the kitchen-- it's a diagram of the eight-sided bagua.

It has been an up and down week and weekend, but I feel stronger.

Moderation Gang (MoGa) - an ongoing discussion of moderate drinking

Hey, everyone made progress. Turq, Marylizy, Camiol, and me, starting the week feeling like things are slowly improving. Camiol, hope your tomato back is feeling better today. Somebody somewhere in your company knows who's really keeping things running.

BP, you are asleep now, but I wanted to say I'm glad you checked in. Sorry to hear you feel low. I've been thinking about you.
 
What is it about August? Change of season? Start of a new school year? End of summer? Yeah, all of the above... end of summer.
 
I was just telling DH at dinner... my MoGa sisters (and brothers PJ and Royhobbs... Roy, you there?) are still checking in. We're not perfect but we're not giving up. We're still here.
 
Thanks for being out there for me, all of you. Still feeling stronger today, even though I was really groggy and retaining a lot of water from being out in the heat yesterday. Lesson: I'm sensitive to salt, so it doesn't take much Gatorade to keep my minerals balanced. And there were those two Labor Day martinis.     :) :)
 
Night all.

First day on the site

Roy, you there? How are you doing? Since I joined the day after you did, I feel like we have the same birthday or something corny like that. Haven't heard from you in a while. Cheers, ER

Moderation Gang (MoGa) - an ongoing discussion of moderate drinking

That was some thoughtful reading, those last dozen posts.
 
I really hurt myself with a binge night. Trigger known-- I feel overwhelmed with work and hopeless about catching up without using most of my nights and weekends working.

Wow, that sounds familiar.
 
Feeling better last couple of days because I have a cold. Ironic. One glass of wine only and getting some sleep.
 
I'll be 53 Tuesday. A good time for a permanent turnaround. I started the process 4 years ago. I can do this now. Today.
