Today was better than the last.
Every day is getting better and better. I can't believe the effect alcohol has on me. I find that it usually takes me 4 or 5 days to feel completely myself again after I drink. So then if you take into account drinking every weekend for about 4 weeks, that really took a toll on me. I feel depressed and I have no energy the days following a night of drinking. My therapist said my reaction and depression is not at all uncommon. Neither is the duration in days. She said that's why it's really hard to treat people with depression who drink. It's too hard to tell the difference between the "depressant" effects of the alcohol as apposed to true mental depression. Knowing all of that, I really shouldn't drink. But it's fun sometimes. And just recognizing what it does to me makes it a little easier to handle.
My WW partner quit...not that I should broadcast that. But now I'm worried about what that means for my success. I liked having someone to text me and me them about my weight for the week. I'm going to start weighing in on Thursdays and also attending my meeting then too. Once school started I had to change my normal meeting day of Wed to Saturday morning. Which really isn't a good time. Plus, I still weighed in on Wednesdays because I weigh more on Saturdays. (Seriously, LOL!) So I was going to the WW place twice a week and I was missing my meeting all the time. I haven't done well since that change in schedule. I think the meetings were key to my success. I need to make them a priority. So I'm going to weigh in and do my meetings on Thursday. I hope the leader isn't a weirdo.
Guess that's all for today.

I still intend to text you to see how much you've lost :p
I haven't "quit" but I've pretty much stopped going to the meetings in an effort to save some cash for the time being. Eventually I will be doing the online thing. But I still eat like I'm on it and still keep track of my points. Although- I will have no idea what my progress will be since I have no scale at home...
Well that's good. We'll keep track of each other then. Scales aren't too pricey. I got a nice digital one for 25. You can get the cheap dial kind, but it's hard to see a loss unless it's a big one.
