Hello and welcome to the thread that acknowledges alcohol. We like it.
Most of us drink it. We struggle with the effect it has on our weight loss. We support each other when we strive to control it. We support each other when we fail to control it.

This is a support zone. Not a judging zone.


:drinker: Hello all and welcome to the December no judgement zone.

Okay we all know that December is a challenge but we also know that it is a time to celebrate so here's to all my lush friends who successfully walk that line.:drinker:

    I'm confused...why are you listing days and drinks? Are we trying not to drink? I thought we were embracing our inner drunk :drinker:

    This is going to be a challenge, nothing says Christmas like Baileys, yum. :tongue:

    I rarely drink during the week, but love having a few glasses of G&T (or white wine if I've burned an insane amount of cals) over the weekend. Me and hubby are going to a Christmas market this weekend, can't wait! :drinker:

    Ah, the trend was broken...
    Sunday=0 drinks
    Monday=0 drinks
    Tuesday=0 drinks
    Wednesday=3 drinks

    We went to a friend's house, he just closed on it and he had some wine so I had some, it was a tiny cup and I only poured a little bit each time, and then we went out to eat and I ordered one glass but it seemed generous one, they brought like a tall thin glass bottle and small glass. I logged it at 15 oz. and I think that's fair.

    PrettyKitty, don't you fret! Most (if not all) of us still get our drink on. Some track so that they can "save" their drinks for the weekends or nights out, some are trying to abstain for a bit to jump start a weight loss and some (like me) are trying to curb the drinking during the week--because trying to teach a bunch of middle schoolers with a small hangover sucks. :laugh:

    Congrats Kat! How exciting! :drinker:

    And anyone that is in fear of being the only one not trying to cut down on their drinking just needs to read my posts!! I'm amazed at the people who go with 0's for days (sometimes weeks) at a time.

    I like my nightly glass of wine (or 2) too much.
    Which is also probably why I've gained and lost the same 5 damn pounds for quite some time...lol.

    I get into phases where I drink everyday or like now, don't feel like it until the weekend. Minus last night haha. I also notice that when I drink with a hangover, I have to drink twice as much to feel it as if my body is just sucking up all the alcohol. It's strange and now I usually don't drink when hungover because I certainly don't need all those extra calories haha.

    Hahaha I would love nothing more than to be married on Halloween, however the boyfriend isn't so keen on that idea so instead I like October 13th since it's still in my favorite month and 13 is a neat number around that time and it happens to be on a Saturday =]
