    Can I join your discussion? Mon = 0 drinks -
    (from 7/25 - to last night - its been one giant binge) just too much family drama

    No drinks for me Sunday, Monday or tonight - good start to the week all round it seems.

    Mom216 you might see those steps as baby ones but they are very important ones - you're doing great :happy: Your goal is pretty much my goal too, somedays I just acheive it better than others!

    I am cognizant that tomorrow is September 1st. I am also cognizant that I have been all but MIA from this thread and MFP in general for the last couple weeks and haven't even been trying to abstain. So, I no longer feel like the Lushes thread is mine. So.... Pam, Kim, Yvonne, Robin.... I'm leaving the Lushes "kingdom" to you. Start a September thread if you wish. Rule wisely. I'll be around when I get my shizzle together again.

    Well there's no use me starting a September thread, I never usually manage to find the new thread until a week in. In all likelihood I'd lose the thread I started myself let alone manage to direct anyone else to it!

    Hurry back soon Dave, miss you...

    I KNEW IT! so this article says that healthy weight women who drink moderately tend to gain less weight over time than those who abstain. Researchers studied 19,220 women with healthy BMI and monitored them for 13 years. Women who consumed 1-2 drinks per day were 30% less likely to become overweight or obese. Those who had 2-7 drinks per week were 14% less likely. The explanation is unclear, but drinkers consumed fewer calories from other sources... other research indicates that alcohol may effect metabolism and fat storage in women. It seems that lean women who drink a light to moderate amount can do so without fear of weight gain as long as they maintain healthy diet and exercise habits.

    asjerven, so you're saying that the research tells us to keep doing what we're doing but eat better and exercise more??? I may be able to do that if I don't have to give up my wine:) We shall see! I guess it depends on how moderation is defined because even though I drink maybe only once a week, I generally am not able to keep it to a few drinks! I'm a bit of a train wreck. I do very well until day 6 or 7 then that wine is just calling my name and I cannot resist a bottle, or more...I'm a disaster. Lord help me!

    Oh, and I caved and had a glass of wine... but stopped at one (because I was too lazy to go to the wine cellar for another)... I don't think this is going to be a great alcohol free week.
    Leaving for the IL's place tomorrow... even more reason to drink!

    Wow! I finally found my thread! I was feeling awful about the 6 bacardi and diet cokes that I drank out with friends last night.
    I have set up a separate food category for alcohol and in the 2 weeks that I've been on MFP, I think there has only been 2 days without something in that category for me~yikes!

    Just knowing there are others on MFP that don't spend every extra minute exercising makes me feel better somehow.

    Sorry for babbling, must be the fog in my head :tong
