Im looking to cut back on alcohol. It is probably the biggest thing keeping me from losing weight. It might be good to get a support system going if anyone else is interested.

    I'm in. I don't drink much. I'm scared my son will get grab my cup. By the time he goes to bed, I'm read for bed myself.

    I tried to "Cut" my alcohol level down....and now I've quit drinking altogether....I've gone 51 days with no alcohol....it's made it easier to make healthier choices.....I used to coordinate my drink with my food...if that makes sense...Beer......and hot wings.....or nachos........Margarita with Mexican cheese dip, and tacos.......wine with chicken alfredo.......and my FAV.....Sake with sushi!
    I will tell you that I do not really miss it.....I spend less money, make better choices, and never have hangovers anymore! =D
    Feel free to add me, if you'd like!

    I realize alcohol has way too many calories and I would rather eat food.

    I know I should really stop, but after not drinking while pregnant or breast feeding (5 years in total), I love it too much to stop again so soon.

    I'm currently pregnant, so it's been quite a while since I last had a drink. But after my oldest baby was was about 7 months old I made a point not to have alcohol in the house for myself. Before I'd gotten pregnant with her I drank quite a lot and after she was born I fell back into the same habit. It was only after I realized I was looking forward to my evening drink after she went to bed a little too much and was overly stressed out over nothing that I gave it up at home. I haven't missed it a bit. When I'm not pregnant I'll enjoy a fancy drink or two when I'm out at a restaurant, but that's it. I've found other ways to help me relax and I know I'm much healthier without the alcohol.
