Hi everyone I am sure I am not the only one here who has dieted 100 different times in their life and fell back into their old habits. This time I feel like I am on a journey not a diet. Changing my life...not just my jean size. The number one reason this time I feel its going to work is my lack of desire to drink booze. Now...I have never been a big drinker....I have never drank often...but when I had decided to have a night of drinking...it was a NIGHT OF DRINKING.....maybe once every two months I would tie a good one one...captain Morgan and shots were my very best pals. Every year we go home to mn to visit family usually for 2 weeks...and every Friday and Saturday night was a drunk fest...lunch a few times a week included a couple captain diets...it was just what we did. Celebrating with family and friends we had not seen in a year just seemed to call for drinking. Well I got back from MN a couple weeks ago...this time I stayed almost a month....I had 3 drinks the whole time I was there...I got a lot of slack from friends and family...I didn't tell them why I didn't feel like drinking its not their business. So whatiI ended up doing was making fake drinks...I would fill my cup with ice...tip the bottle of Morgan when they were only half paying attention and the fill with diet coke (which I shouldn't be drinking either...but just for my fake drinks) they were all drinking and having a hoot...so they were none the wiser that I wasn't really making a drink. Anyways...the reason I feel this is going to work this time...is because even my occasional booze fest doesn't sound appealing to me...I know the sugar content and calories content of my captain....I can't imagine what it would be in shots...and drinking just isn't important enough to me to waste the calories on...this is not to say I will never drink again...but what used to be every other month will probably be about 3 times a yrs now.

Unfortunately I don't care for vodka I believe my captain has 90 per ounce...I don't dump mine I just don't make a real drink...meaning I tip the bottle but don't let any come out ..everyone else is so caught
Up in drinking they don't pay attention lol. I usually don't show up until after everyone else is half in the bag...never have been able to drink when the sun was out except the occasional drink with lunch...
Its 90 for an ounce and a half which I believe is a "shot" and 60 for an ounce0
