    I really need to find some control...
    BUT, there's an open bottle calling to me, gently whispering sweet nothings..
    and a wine glass begging me to stroke her curves....
    :huh:
    <sigh>I have no self control:sad:

    Last night I made a cherry vodka/sprite drink and would have been ok, if Ididn't have three slices of pepperoni pizza, should have stuck to two!

    MMM - is that the smirnoff black cherry vodka? I looooooove that with sparkling water, crushed ice,...:love:

    Hello, I was hoping I can join this club..and maybe get some feedback on low cal alcoholic drink recipes that I could probably make for myself at bbqs at the house and what not. Maybe even tips on what to order when I go out...I have been told that my alcohol intake has probably contributed to my weight gain..but come on!! I am a college student !!!

    OK, it's official Wednesday: 0 Drinks

    Hubs tried to lure me into celebration. I asked, suspiciously, "What are we celebrating?" He said, "Twins' Day" I said, "You can go ahead without me. I have to learn not to drink when you do." :noway: How's that for self control. Even tho, it nearly killed me.

    Happy Thursday, all,

    With the weekend looming, I am thinking of how the handle the wine issue. I have gone 10 days without, but mostly because husband has been gone and I have been doing projects around the house in the evenings and not going out to dinner. Well, we have a houseful coming in tomorrow for a wedding and I am already starting to prepare food for the group. This is where everything falls apart usually! I am going to TRY to only have wine WITH my meal and not while I am preparing and cooking...that is usually when I also start munching. I have finally squashed the wino/munchie monster...it is never forever, but it is suppressed for now. I do not want to have it rear it's ugly head....so I hope that I can make it through the weekend. DH is very thin and drinks whatever whenever, and I have to realize that HE is not ME! (Like a few of you...I have a tough time with this!)

    It's great to read your posts and know I'm not alone in this struggle! Wish me luck and have a great weekend everyone! Kackie

    Hello all. May I join you? I've been stalking your threads since I joined last month but was doing well on cutting back the alcohol until the past couple of weeks. My husband bought a mini-keg of beer and that has been luring me in, then wine sounded good and as we don't agree on what to drink, he bought two bottles... so I've gone way over my calories thanks to that wine.

    My drink of choice: beer, the maltier the better. Mmmm.... beer.... or margaritas.

    My goal is to not drink anymore this week (it's Thursday, that should be easy) and only drink on the weekend if we go out to dinner, and limit that drink to one.

    Thanks for keeping me entertained for the past month. :smile:

    Kackie, good luck with all the company, that could be a potential disaster:sad: ...but, when I am hosting, it's usually that I am trying to keep everyone else comfortable, serving and cleaning. So, I tend not to drink as much...maybe, that could be your mindset going into the situation. No wine with cooking, water. Nibble on a veggie tray while cooking. Sounds easy right?:noway:

    Erica, too funny about the bottles of wine and being able to decide. I like a good dark beer, actually Sam Adams Octoberfest is out right now and one of my favorites:love: ...have you tried the skinny margaritas...the whole bottle is 600ish calories...not too bad if your looking for margarita flavor without all the calories.:wink:

    OK, look at all the zeros....whoo hoo:bigsmile: ...Oldbat and Karen are rubbing off on me...plan is to pick one day a week that warrants drinking...it must end in a "y":tongue:

    Saturday, 0 drinks
    Sunday, 0 drinks
    Monday, 0 drinks
    Tuesday, 0 drinks
    Wednesday, 0 drinks

    Pam, I'm tempted to try that black cherry vodka:devil: ...just what I need another love:heart:

    Yes, the Sam Adams Octoberfest started the downward spiral on Friday of last week. It's sooooo yummy. I haven't tried the skinny margaritas yet, but I've thought about it. Sadly, we live in a very small town and the nearest liquor store is tiny and limited. I may have go search in the city where I work which is just not as convenient. :wink:

    Mon = 0
    Tue =0
    Wed =0

    Struggled last night but fought thru it. Now that I am so close to Friday I am sure I will make it. I would hate to waste such a good run toward the goal and not make it.

    I am very frustrated with my treadmill. It is going to cost me $500 bucks to fix it. so in the meantime I run for 15 minutes at a time before it shuts off. That in itself is reason to drink. oh well.

    I love cherry flavored vodkas and rums. They are great in diet cokes or sugarfree lemonades. And of course straight.

    Last night for DH's birthday dinner I was budgetting for a glass of wine, but it was on special, buy one get one and I didn't want to waste my free wine so I drank it, polished off 10 oz of steak with fries and he ordered cheesecake for dessert and I had a couple of bites. Still I was probably only a little over my maintenance cals, and I did Week 3 Day 2 of Gateway to 8k so I earned a little splurge. No drinking tonight, I don't think.

    Oooh I can relate to this except my problem is a 13 year old daughter. After a good night last night I am indulging in the rest of my bottle of wine tonight. Sometimes it's so, so hard being mum to a teenager.
