Good morning world,

Logged in and posted to a few new members over the weekend and every time I pushed send , my message defaulted and went to the open page .

Very very annoying , then had a ureaker moment this morning and realised I had changed my settings on my iPad , changed them bad and low and behold I'm back with you all ( I tell you this just in case it happens to someone else)

Today I am doing just fine , slowly addressing my other addictions which have crept to the forefront . ( rascals) Stopped my daily intake of alcohol and told myself no drinking until my big night out a week on Thursday . Which will be about 2 and half weeks since I had a drink. It sounds like an excuse , but know that it would be very stressful to go out that night ( which I rarely do , with this group of people who drink like fishes and stay on the J2o all night )

This week no puddings , no sweets and defo no biscuits will be allowed to pass my lips . .......

Seem to have steared myself back into the middle of the middle lane , going bumperty bumb over the cats eyes as I travel along .

Good going Shiny, slowly but surely change is happening and you should be proud. Little acorns and great oaks etc. once we learn how to control gambling we have the time and the experience to tackle other things, to become who we'd like to be, not for others just for ourselves. It's great having this ability now. Following yesterday's weigh in I've managed to lose 10 pounds in a month, not by doing anything drastic just by shaving off the amount of biscuits, cake, red wine, takeaways, seconds, thirds, fourths etc I'd normally eat. I feel better for this the only downside is I have to keep pulling up my trousers. I hope you have a lovely time in a fortnight and I think you should go for it and have a good drink with your friends if you want to. Being healthy to me is not about abstaining, like gambling, it's just about cutting back. I could never do gambling in moderation though that just could never work. Have a nice day Shiny, plenty of fruit, keep smiling, be proud, keep in the middle, keep off the cats eyes, that's just cruel.

Steve 4.6kg lighter, that's a lot of sugar.

Big Hi 5 to Shiny!

Was bit of naughty girlie the weekend....way too many pimms!

I'm sure your imagination will let you see an tipsy womble trying to engage in conversation to anyone who would listen......Bestie text me today....said I was a nightmare........lol

Anyhow hun......Am so proud of you.....overcoming all that life throws your way.

Morning ,

Life is good this morning ,

Managed to sprint over a few hurdles at work this week , where as at home it's been a pretty straight run.

Funny really months its taken me to start a project at work , that I dreamed up but never found the starting point .

Bit like gambling really , want to give up , run up to that hurdle see it as insurmountable , so think not today will try again tomorrow . Then one day find the strength and courage to climb, crawl , claw our way over that obstacle . Once we prove to ourselves it can be done , the hurdles seem not quite so high and a greater distance in between . Mind you every now again a bigger pops up , just to keep us on our toes .

But you know what , it is no higher than the that first one we needed to get over , and we proved we were capable of that !

Free wheeling down the middle lane today , but not so blinkered to think that it will always be an easy ride .

Shiny xxxxxxxxx

Morning shiny,

Nice post this morning, keep on running down the middle, just watch out for them catseyes.

Trying to put into practice now with my home life the saying I spout a lot at work. There are no problems only challenges, some more difficult than others!

Have a great one

Stay strong

Steve

Hey There Shiny,

Thanks for your post on my diary. It means alot to me. Anyway, glad to hear that for today, life is gooood. Take care easy rider.. 🙂 -joan

Hi shiny

Great post and so true , mind over matter is everything to us atthe beginning it's fighting urges , fight them and it gives u strength and belief , the mind starts to become clearer and we can see gambling for what it is , we can start to deal with other life problems prioritise them gettin them out of the way one by one , sometimes it seems never ending but we will get there one day at a time

More importantly ! X factor ! Me and fp watched it and scary was scary a bit ott , fp didn't enjoy the pink girl got a bit scared , I heard that it was a bit of a set up she didn't av to audition to get on they asked her to go on has a pink tribute act so she must av thought she was nailed on to get through that's prob why she said they had asked her to sing a pink song she meant the x factor bosses not the judges which I suppose does make sense but hey it's all good tv viewing giving the audience what they want not really caring for the individual

It's a nice gentle reminder that xmas is just round the corner as x factor finishes bout the week b4

Where does the time go ? Speak to u in a week

Take care
