That is true @Taali! 😊 Keep the fluids up. I usually make a lemon and honey tea and drink lots of water. I'm a Coke Zero girly, but I don't mind the occasional Pepsi Max either 😂

Mental health challenges can be really exhausting in their own way too. I hope you're able to be gentle with yourself today and that things feel a little lighter soon💛

Yep @Nala2022 taking it easy

Maybe should back off the cigs too

Oooolala baby!!

I'm glad you're taking it easy @Taali

And yeah, if you feel up to it, even cutting back on the cigs a little while you're not feeling well might give your body a better chance to recover

Hope you start feeling better soon! 🤒💛

I know I need to cut back on cigs or even stop completely but I have a strong addiction. Could be worse. I have stopped self medicating with alcohol as of now.

yeah after last weigh in here , think alcohol has got to go @Taali i am blind to how much I spend on it, how sick it makes me the day after and .. can not control weight any more. going to try for a week and take it from there , 3 months at least hopefully

When you're ready, and if it's something you want to work towards, you can take it one step at a time

That's a really significant achievement @Taali. That's no small thing, and I hope you're able to give yourself some credit for how far you've come. Be proud of yourself 😊

I have hit 25 weeks without alcohol. I still crave it and might take it up again ONE DAY but not right now..

The trouble is I don't get hangovers and there's no one here to see how I live

A bit of a slob really.

@Taali

been living where am over 3 years now, no wardrobe, 1 chest of drawers . clothes on floor and over lounge also kitchen chairs. still cleaning up mounds of tissues from cold and shovelling them into fire lol.As you said. No one else sees it. I did just shower and put on clean clothes , well and scrub shower base and washbasin in bathroom @Taali

well done re 25weeks. I though had it beat couple years ago when drank a handful of times in near 2mths as opposed to a handful of times a week .

..one positive for today :after max weigh in ever at drs Monday .my scales say less today. so its gone from impossibly disastrous to believably bad .. @Taali @Fluttershyy lol

We all do what we can Tabby.

Well done you for having a shower and getting into some clean clothes 👌 👍

Are you able to wash and dry clothes?

You can forgive yourself about mounds of clothes piling up.

It's so easy to hide and understandable that sometimes struggle to do what to most people see as LITTLE things

They are not so for many of us. They are insurmountable challenging tasks for us

Maybe you could have a go at one chair or moving from the floor to a chair. Or NOT. It's okay.

Keep chucking those tissues in the fire 🔥 and be kind to yourself my friend @Taali 🧡
