    Alcohol Problem?

    I finally made the break from alcohol in January this year (2017) - I read a very interesting book called "How to Kick Alcohol Easily...." and it has been a tremendous help in recognising that I have an alcohol addiction. 7 weeks on and I am really struggling with cravings for all things...

    Alcohol Problem?

    I'm exactly in the same boat for as long as I can remember. Justifying the wine consumption as I wouldn't reach for anything sweet as a treat (wine was my treat!) Unfortunately when I did stop occassionally for a few weeks, it didn't impact my weight loss, so I just reverted to my wine again...

    DOING SW FROM HOME???

    Decided to "do SW at home" I'm a very, very slow loser and regain so fast. Finding it very difficult to sit through Image Therapy week after week with very small losses or none at all.
