[quote=Anonymous]I, too, love my wine and used to drink everyday. But earlier this year I decided to really get serious about losing weight as I still had about 30 lbs of baby weight left (gained 60 total). I found I really just had to cut it out all together. The first week or two without it was really hard but after that I didn't even think about it anymore. After about 6 weeks of being sober, I started to allow myself drinks on one weekend day (usually Sat). Or if I had drinks earlier in the week with coworkers or something, then I would skip the weekend day.

But the key for me was to try to push off the drinking until after DS was asleep. Because if I started early in the day, then I'd just keep wanting to drink more. If I wait until he's asleep to get started (after 8-8:30) then I know I'll only be able to drink so much before I end up getting sleepy anyway.

Now since I'm close to my weight goal and its summer, I've eased back a little and will have drinks maybe twice a week (no more than 3). But if I do, I try to fit an extra workout in or be a little extra diligent in my diet for the next few days afterwards.

Also I love diet ginger ale. That's pretty much my go to soft drink. Perrier's good, too.[/quote]
