BUt you are staying strong girl so a big CONGRATS to you for that... its very tough when others around are drinking thats for sure, IMO... diet is looking good though Hmmm... I been hungry all day too wonder if its for the same reason?!?! Sounds like PT went good too so yeaaaaaaaaaa for that!!!

Staying strong woot! woot!


Put a tablespoon of Fiber-Sure in one of his beers. Odorless, flavorless & doesn't make the drink thick. Maybe bake some ultra high-fiber black bean brownies. 1/2 batch regular batter, 1/2 batch just for him! That'll fix his wagon!

For the record I haven't done that but I sure have thought about it.

obnoxious beer drinkers are annoying. I agree with que, slip something into the beer and he will spend the day in the restroom, and not bugging you LOL

Just caught up on your log, jens.

I agree with Nelms, there needs to be a damn *hug* icon!

I am so PROUD of you

I understand about the alcohol - managed to get P to refrain seeing as we're training more seriously but usually he can get on it big time when in the mood. Makes it hard!!



And thank you....
