    10/23 - 188.4 OMG I need to stay away from alcohol! Sigh.

    10/26 - 185.6 New low!! Drinking water instead of alcohol, who'd have thought?.. Actually, I knew and I record all the alcohol I drink, even though I come in at a deficit it just seems to stop my weight loss in it's tracks. I have more demons to conquer than just my weight. Lesson learned.

    Nothing wrong with quitting alcohol consumption at this "time of life." I found that peri- and post-menopause, a single glass of wine resulted in a raging hot flash so I only now use booze for cooking. I ain't givin' up chicken marsala, etc.!

    Alcohol also is truly "empty calories." Think of the difference in nutrients in 100 calories of wine versus 100 calories of sweet potato, for example. Yes, there's some evidence that a single glass of wine per day may have health benefits but there's a lot more evidence that the sweet potato is full of good nutrients and a lot more evidence of the toll more-than-one drink a day takes on our livers, etc.

    So, for some of us, deciding to eschew alcohol is a perfectly satisfactory choice. I haven't had more than half a dozen glasses of wine or bottles of beer in the last 20 years. I'm fine with that. When someone tries to foist a drink on me, I just say, "Nah, I drank a lifetime supply in my 20s and 30s," with a smile on my face. No one has failed to accept that.
