    I usually have a glass of wine with dinner or just after, as my snack. Lately, though, it seems every evening calls for more than one glass - my son's recent wedding and all the parties that led up to that, and then our daughter just announced that, after a lot of trying, she is pregnant! So, we had to drink to that, too. Maybe I'll just give up eating and then I'll have lots of calories to waste on alcohol - not really! I'm lucky the reasons I'm drinking are celebratory, and I know that! I am, however, afraid to weigh myself, lol!

    I used to drink ten beers at a time. In high school. You know, before I had a tolerance.

    I am tired of drinking lite beer. It seems like I can drink it all day and not get a buzz. I guess I will just have to drink vodka or tequila with club soda!

    Well so far I have been 3 days with no alcohol! Tough feat for me. But now the weekend is around the corner and I can almost sense me trying to make up for the whole damn week!! I am a healthy eater so I know my 15lbs is from drinking. UGH!!! When the weekend comes, how do you keep your alcohol calories in check with your food calories?

    That's when the CC really comes in handy,getting in a good work out definitely helps.I try to be very limited on my first few meals,then eat something like a turkey dog mustard on a piece of wheat bread just before starting to drink,then the trick is to not eat after the party,and carefull not to binge the next day due to your hang over.
