Hi everyone, I'm new to the forum and new to SW - joined 9 days ago and managed to lose 2lb in my first week. (a little disappointed it wasn't more but hey, any loss is good, right? lol)
Whilst the title makes me sound like I have a serious problem with alcohol, I don't . . . . honest!!!
Seriously though, I only drink on a saturday night and my tipple is vodka and coke (diet, of course) but my problem is that I just cant say no to another. I can easily and happily share a 70 cl bottle with my husband but the syn count is astronomical for such quantities. I did make allowances throughout the week and made sure I didn't go over the total 70 syns allowed for the whole week.
If I'm honest with myself then I know that my alcohol consumption is well over the recommended health guidelines even though I only do it one night per week - probably worse as its considered as "binge" drinking. I also realise that it could have been a major reason why I didn't lose more than 2lb in my first week.
I'd really appreciate some help with ideas on how to have less alcohol and not feel like I've "missed out" on my one boozy night.
