How do you successfully fit wine/other alcohol of choice into your life?
I ask because it seems like every time I drink, I have a sts or gain, even if I have an allocated syn quantity of wine or say, gin and slimline tonics.
Obviously, sometimes I go out and start off with good intentions but then a few gins later my resolve weakens significantly! Weeks like that are a deserved gain and usually prepare myself for that.
But what about ‘normal’ drinking? For example, tomorrow night OH and I are having a rare Saturday night in and I’d like us to share a bottle of red wine. I really enjoy drinking wine! Now, I will not have any other syns for the rest of the day and will carefully measure it so we have half a bottle each and I can accurately count 15 syns. But I am worried it will, if experience is anything to go by, have an adverse effect on the scales come Wednesday.
I don't usually drink during the week, and I have cut down a lot from my pre-SW days. So – how do you keep a moderate amount of alcohol in your life and still lose?! Am I destined to go teetotal?!
Thanks chums…
