There is absolutely nothing wrong with a glass of wine, especially when you're counting the calories. I am a very firm believer that to be successful with any weight loss it has to be about moderation not deprivation. You are simply enjoying what you love in moderation.

Agree. I just want the newbies to know that they do not have to give up the things they love. All they have to do is manage them in moderation.

That is great that you still enjoy the wine. My must have is bread so I only have good bread in restaurants. If you don't enjoy the new way of eating you will fail, been there, done that.

Cabernet Sauvignon...Yummmm. We belong to a couple of wine clubs and get new bottles every month. Fortunately my wife can swig better than I can. But a nice cab with a small filet or rack of lamb? Or a huge chunk-o-salmon with a Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc is heavenly and makes for a wonderful weekend meal.

You are very right AJ. I felt the same why when I went into this. I knew if I cut all the things I loved I would never be able to stick to it long term. So I cut back on everything instead of cutting out. However, after 4 months stuck in the 190's I may need to do some more cutting.

decisions......french fries or cabo wabo tequila......let me think....

Good post AJ. I totally agree.

My sister in crime! lol we won't talk about Love and her wine!

Great post AJ!

I chose not to give up my 1 glass of morning iced coffee...my surgeon knows, and does not approve. If I changed everything in my life I would have been feeling resentful. Coffee helps me stay dedicated and focused with the rest of my meals. I allow for it in my plan. End of story!

Enjoy your wine!
