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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Your roses are a reflection of your beauty!

So very true. You have a wonderful way with words. Thanks for the blog.

I have wine every night, I have since day one. Just remember that they are empty calories, log them in your calories for the day & enjoy!

You can do it my friend. I am struggling with the same issues. I think I have volume creep... not watching serving sizes closely enough. But enough about me. You are doing great!

Loved this blog,aj.
I like you, have a hard time figuring out if it is head hunger, or real hunger.
I too, need to be better at bite sizes and timing.
Congratulations on maintaining your weight and thank you for sharing your thoughts, so we can learn from them.
You do belong on Success Way!

Congratulations, and I agree, DITTO. Maintenance can suck!

this is the road you live on girlfriend:

Grammy ducking now! AJ is not a squirrel... her a wabbit hunter.

i listen to the great one who hold wabbit gun.......chew alot, take small bites and go slow.....you taught me welll.....running behind grammy now,.

Been there done that *ugh*

I do that, but I've been known to spit it out too. And you're right, it happens when I'm over hungry.
Never finished learning,huh?

Took the banana right out of my mouth......
