    Nice to see I'm not the only one struggling with the alcohol! I love my red wine and can easily have 5 glasses in one sitting with no pain the next day. BUT that is 500 calories! I've decided to not drink at home and only when I go out to eat. That will limit caloric intake from alcohol significantly. I was reading something on-line that really put it in perspective for me. Ask yourself WHY do you want to drink those 4 glasses of wine? I really had no good reason except I looked forward to that moment throughout the day - it allowed me to relax. I realized last night that I could relax even better without the red wine because I can now lie down on the couch instead of sitting up. Very relaxing and now I don't have to work out as hard to make up for the excess calories. It's a win/win.

    This definitely seems to be a common struggle. I haven't given up my wine or beer and have still managed to lose 6 pounds. My goal is to cut it out during the week and only have some on Saturdays which is date night. I like to have some Sunday when I watch shows but I may cut that out as well. I do log every drink as soon as I have it. Having the MFP app on my phone has been a life savver.

    Careful with the tonic! It has about as much sugar as Coke!
