Wine??

Yep, I hear ya!!! I do the same thing!! Love my Lambrusco, Moscoto, Concord, and Niagras!!!!! I usually have a glass every night but when the weekend comes I can do some damage when I am at home!!!! :drinker:

This is my biggest weakness. I cut it out during the week, but on the weekends when I have more free time it's hard to avoid. Today is my day off from working out so I'm currently "destroying" my diet today.

I say "F" it! You have to live once in awhile or else what's the point in living.

The irony, is that I switched from beer to wine because I didn't like the taste of it. Now, I can't get enough of it.

Pinot is my fav!

Amen!!!!:bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

This seems to be my biggest downfall-I try so hard through the day then night time comes I have a glass then I drink the bottle. But I only do this twice a week, but it adds my calories, BIG, BAD news. What happens now,I feel pretty rubbish. :sad:

Well friend, I know you are going to be upset with me about this but I have some bad news, this is a trait of alcoholism. People that can stop after one or 2 glasses of wine are what we call "normal" drinkers, but if you can not stop, then that is a problem.

I help alcoholics and addicts recover from addiction. If you decide this is something you would like help with, please feel free to message me and I would be happy to help you out.(not paid, so no worries, I am not trying to pimp money from anyone) If not, no problem, I will stay out of this thread and let everyone talk about how much they love drinking.

I take my three dogs for a long walk so I can have some Red Wine :drinker:

The good news is that if you exercise more you can eat/drink whatever you want. Just pay for it in the gym.

I, too can put back the wine. I have seriously cracked down on myself though. 1. I quit buying boxes of Old Vine Zinfandel. 2. I am trying to have it as a treat a couple of times per week instead of a nightly wind down. I sleep a lot better at night and feel better in general, so it's worth it, but it's oh so hard because I love it.

meee toooo. I need to cut back to one night a week maybe two and switch from wine and beer to vodka with soda water and lime ....

Mmmm...about to have a glass with dinner. ; ) Refuse to get rid of it, so I just have to make sure I have room for those calories if I know I'm going to indulge.

Regarding someone as an alcoholic because they say that they "cannot stop" is a bit of a sweeping statement, when in the context of a calorie restricted diet.

People say the same about having opened a bag of chips. "I opened a bag and could not stop eating them"

Personally, if I think to myself that I'll only have a couple of glasses of wine, simply because it has too many calories in for the exercise I've done that day, the wine itself does diminish my sense of self control and willpower to diet. After a couple of glasses of wine there are times when I sometimes say "Sod it, I'm having those pecans" and "Sod it I'm finishing the bottle" - it doesn't make me an alcoholic, or a pecanoholic!

Yes it might be a symptom of alcoholism, but it might also be a symptom of really loving a particular bottle of wine and thinking "screw the diet for tonight" :bigsmile:

*should not be irritated by sanctimonious *kitten* with their cries of alcoholism* but seriously? 2 bottles of wine a week makes you an alcoholic? get real!

LOL seriously!!!

You named 2 of my FAVORITE wines!! For red I love Lambrusco and absolutely love a good Moscato!! Yumm. I will be honest, I haven't had a glass of wine since New Years Eve. Let me tell ya, I am so ready for a glass of wine after how today has gone!

wine is awesome. i'm not sure what this thread is about. and i like my wine like i like my women. properly aged and full bodied.

YUM! omg I have this problem. It just tastes soooo goooood! That's what these *alcoholism* people apparently don't understand. It just tastes SO DAMN GOOD. lol!
I try to only drink wine like 1x/ week because I know when I have a glass I'm going to want the bottle! Allow yourself the bottle 1x/ week! It won't kill you! Just work extra hard that day at the gym!!

I love my wine. But while trying to lose weight, whenever I decide to drink I have switched to vodka/coke zero or vodka/any diet drink because it is lower in calories. And, I only drink if I'm craving it, once a week or once every 2 weeks or whenever we are with friends.
