    Skip the fries to make room for more beer
    Or better yet, trade a few beers for tequila shots! If you count the lime you're getting fruit too :drinker:

    If this is a serious post, as well as your previous posts about your craving for triple cheeseburgers, then I would say you have a big problem with self control and possibly addiction.

    As for the food addiction and cravings, it sounds like you are used to eating a lot more than 1500. You might want to start with a smaller deficit in the beginning so you dont have the strong urge to binge, I would also suggest looking into counseling.

    This all depends on what type of beer you're drinking.

    I drink beer pretty much everyday but most the times I'm under my goal (1320). I just have to make a choice... do I want to have one or two beers, and have some good stuff to eat too, or do I want to fill up my calories with beer and liquor and not eat much else? It seems like an obvious answer, and I don't drink like I use to, but I also know that if I had to give up drinking completely to lose weight I would have a really hard time sticking with it. I just tell myself not to drink until around dinner time. Try filling yourself up with chicken or salmon, maybe lean steak. Then have a few beers, and drink water, lots of it, throughout the day before having dinner and alcohol. I'm still working on the water part myself!

    One of the things I had to rule out was NO FAST FOOD. I mean, there are special occasions but I haven't had any yet and I avoid those places like the plaque, even though before MFP I was going practically everyday. Letting go of fast food hurts, but when you realize that there are a lot of other good foods out there, and at the grocery, to your home, then you'll find you don't really miss it after all. However, yesterday I was driving and trying to come up with an excuse to go to Wendy's or KFC, but I thought of MFP and all my friends and said, you know what, plenty of good stuff at home, don't want to let myself or anyone else down. It's taken some determination but I've done it and will continue!

    I dont think that wanting beer and fries means he needs counseling. I want BK everytime I pass by ... doesnt mean i will stop but I still want it ... changing your lifestyle is hard ... it comes with cravings and challenges. I think we all have them. Food is created for us to crave.

    Does a drunken stumble through someone's backyard before passing out into their pool count towards running and swimming cardio?

    I have finally sworn off triple cheeseburgers for the time being, however can I eat what I want to as long as i stay under 1500 calories a day, I mean french fries small for lunch and dinner but still havng my 5 beers, I do this every couple of days while working the weekends are harder I may just have french fries for lunch and 6-7 beers for dinner, is this possible as long as it under 1500 cals a day...

    This made me smile. You have calorie in/calories out down to a tee. A calorie deficit is all it takes to lose weight.

    That said, nutrition is very important to overall health. I suggest you cut some of those beers out and add some protein, vegetables, and fruits to your french fry dinner. :smile:
