Ok the night I had been fearing is over. One of my best friends Stag Do’s. It was a bit of a worry as I was not sure if I wanted to drink or not. It was a day I had given myself a pass before starting my journey to everlasting change.

At the beginning of the night I started to think I should try and drink until I get so drunk I never do it again. So bad that I feel terrible. But giving it more thought I have realized that has been done in the past to no avail.

What was interesting is as the night progressed I did have a 3 or 4 drinks and everyone tasted worse or less appealing. By the end of the night I was drinking water.

I came to the realization I really don’t need to drink to have a good night out. If anything it makes the night worse. I am an out going guy so it actually sometimes depresses me or it gives me less stamina.

It was actually the best thing to have happened as it really says to me. “Stephen, you do not need alcohol to have a good time”. It was a good feeling. From now on I am a water drinker. When I go to bars I will just say I am the sober driver and go from there.

I am really happy with the decision.

On another note I have found a Hypnotist who I see for the first time on Wednesday which is exciting. I am really looking forward to that!

It should help me get that edge and get over some of the mental barriers I have been struggling with.

I also want to list my regular diet (the food I eat when not on a special short diet).

  • No Alcohol
  • No Soft Drinks
  • No Fast Food (With a Drive Through or Delivery Service)
  • Low intake of Refined White Sugar or Flour (Rice is Preference)
  • 1 Portion per Meal (No Starters, Deserts or Additions)
  • Always Eat Something for Breakfast
These rules will not lead to big weight loss but should stop me from retaining water, will help with a better focus on protein and should keep my weight stabilized.
