day 5

I'm getting the 1lb each of raw and steamed veg. I bought a food scale to get an idea of just how much that is. I'm not even close, but at least avoiding everything on the no-no list. Its not too hard and I feel ood today

day 4, 38 to go

I felt really good today. I haven't been hungry except for just before noon. I had a salad with beans. I did have a little slip when I had 3 pieces of freshly baked whole-wheat sourdough bread. Note to self: Don't buy fresh bread anymore.
I'm a little worried about how my not drinking alcohol will affect my marriage. He likes to drink a glass or 2 or 3 of red wine almost everynight. I'm so used to joining him and I've found myself avoiding him because I don't want to be around the alcohol. Especially if he wants to be intimate, if he's been drinking and I have not, I just don't like it. Its like we are not on the same page. This is something I have to work through.

d 3, 39 2 go

Headache is gone today, and my mood is good. My energy is low and I have no focus. No cravings.

day 2, 40 to go

very.bad.headache.

day 1, 41 to go

Today was easy. No caffiene headache, yet. If anything, I feel thirsty and a little anxiuos.

I've tried this and many other plans before and not followed through. I'm addicted to food for pleasure, relaxation and disctraction. I sure love the wine for the same reasons. l know that if I can make it this 6 weeks, I'll feel so good about myself.

If I can't make 6 weeks without alcohol, I'm going to AA.
