Anyone else sabotage all their efforts by drinking wine?

i love wine. i'm a spaniard. i even make it myself. but too often i pour myself a too big of a glass of wine at dinner, and then that turns to two glass, oh and my wife didn't finish her second glass so i'm gonna drink half of that... before you know it it's 500 calories of wine.

lately, i've had to force myself not to have wine. i know that a little bit can be good for you, and it is, but at the moment i'm trying to cut some weight. i still drink on occaisions though...

right now, these are my rules for alcohol-
1) Only drink on days with "s" in it- Sunday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday
2) only drink twice a week
3) only drink two drinks

I've never even considered calories from alcohol - I suppose that's one good thing about being raised by an insane alcoholic, it puts you off alcohol completely! The only advice I can give is to just not buy it, the only drinks I buy are diet or zero calorie drinks, then there's no temptation!

I still indulge in a glass, or two, of wine. If drunk moderately, I believe wine has some health benefits. On these days, I try to cut back on something else or exercise more.

Yes. I try to allow for it, but it puts me over sometimes and it's hard to care. *sigh*

I usually drink once a week, 2-3 glasses. I do not always log it, but I know the calories. This is my cheat dinner.

I tried and tried to justify my chardonnay but one glass always led to alot more & then snacks. I had to quit drinking it entirely & surprise surprise! 3 lbs lost in a couple of days! Thats a good motivator and I'm not sure I can ever drink again !

I drink wine on the weekends and a fair bit, I just plan it and exercise more those days
