Is anyone getting away with a glass of red?

In the last 2 weeks I've drunk 1 bottle. That was on Friday night at a do and my next one will probably be Sunday night after my night shifts ( although will be half bottle)
I really fancied a glass tonight but have resisted.
What are you red wine drinkers getting away with? Or are you being good? This is my vice you see, I could happily drink a glass most nights, and I am good, 1 glass does me. :drinker:

    My vice was red wine I drank a bottle every night, since starting on here I changed to white, then wine and soda now I have 1 x or 2 125ml measure of wne and soda and I have lost 36.5lb since January.

    Don't give up what you enjoy it will just make you crave it more.

    Exactly..there are days when I'll trade a glass of alcohol for equivalent calories of food...but there are days when the only thing getting me thru until bedtime is knowing I can have one vodka tonic once the kids go to bed.

    i agree with fit it in. also i go for smaller amounts of something i want and find mostly it satisfies. try going down to 2/3 glass and then 1/2 glass.

    I've been getting away with several. I've cut it down a lot but I typically have 3-5 drinks a week. I fit it into my calories and make sure that nutrition from actual food takes priority.

    I drink about 4 oz.. every weeknight. This seems to be the amount that balances both calories yet also provides recommended healthy antioxidants.

    I drink a bottle of SkinnyGrape Pinot every night. It's 80 cal a glass and something like 450 a bottle.

    Yes. Not every night but often and certainly every weekend. Frankly, if I had to give it up, I would rather be fat.

    Not every night anymore, and fewer glasses when I do. Small victories!
