Jillian04's Journal, 08 Jul 11

So yesterday I said how I was giving up drinking forever and I was afraid to say too much but after the comments I got yesterday I realise I'm not alone. Thanks so much :) it really meant a lot to me. See, my problem was binge drinking- I never saw the point in alcohol just to drink- if you're gonna drink it why not feel it right? Well then I didn't know when to stop and blackout city! Ugh the next day would be miserable hungover, depressed, eating if not more drinking! I quit for a while and everything was wonderful- i was losing weight, i had energy and I wasn't fighting with my boyfriend. I started again and the drinking got back to a bad place in no time at all. After last weekend and a terrible blow out I decided this has to end, so my focus now is becoming healthy and maintaining my lifestyle that way. Everything does not need to be associated with alcohol, and it is not the only way to have fun!
Well there's my life story about my dieting- I'm going to the beach next week with my boyfriend but we're actually staying about a half hour from the beach at a place my grandparents own and our dog will be with so I know there will be a lot of walking and outside activity- my goal is to not eat too bad. I'd like to look half decent in my bathing suit at the end of the week. I've been doing good this week but last night caved and got some wings but I woke up two pounds less- weird but I"m not complaining. So if you don't hear from me next week don't worry I'm just at the beach working on my tan, lol. Though, before all that I have a stats midterm I'll be working on all night so that when I am there I can just relax. I'm can't wait :)

Been there! Sadly its pretty common for our generation. Fear of becoming an alcoholic made me stop. I'll have a drink from time to time and I love me some wine but I'll go months w/o if I think I've drank too much. Best of luck doll and enjoy the beach! fun!!

You have no idea how wonderful that is to hear- I felt so alone up until I told fatsecret. It's amazing how we all went through and are still going through the same things! That's exactly why I'm stopping- I don't want to go too far down the wrong road and wish I would have done something earlier.

Love that you are working on your tan this week and giving yourself a break. I think you are doing a great job just being aware of your needs in life and taking control. It's that kind of attention that will make everything in your life successful!
