its almost Friday, I am dying for beer and I need all the support I can get. I'm trying super hard to be good and teach myself new habits, but the stupid beer in the fridge is staring at me with its evil eye!!!!

    How many calories do you have left for tonight?

    Do you have enough calories left for a beer? Then have a beer. If you don't have the calories left, you have a beer and compensate tomorrow, you have a beer and you don't compensate tomorrow, or you do not have a beer.

    It's all about making your own choices and being accountable for them :heart:

    I have 1630 left for the day, still haven't eaten dinner and still have to take a walk.
    I just would have this overwhelming sense of guilt if I was to drink it.

    I definitely have the calories left to do it. I shouldn't restrict myself so heavily.

    I had a beer tonight. A nice, big draft IPA that cost me over 400 calories, too. I enjoyed it! And it fit within my calorie goal. I don't do that every day, because it isn't worth the trade-off against food daily. But once or twice a week? Sure!

    This is supposed to be a permanent change in how I eat & drink, because my old habits just weren't working for me. But I'm sure not gonna give up all beer forever!
