drank (a bottle of) wine tonight. Didn't go over-board with my points as far as eating tonight.
very little sleep, plus wicked mega heat, plus no thank you and i broke and drank tonight. i'm not too great at being sober. but i did make a conscious decision to drink tonight. i bough stuff and things and could have been like nah. no iddn't do that. drank like higher alcohol level heck and like don't feel much. i know i'm not sober for whatever that's worth, but i'm not sloshed. which i can't say was the ultimate goal, but basically after finally dropping some weight with the help of laxatives and wws i was like yeah, definitely don't drink all the time always.
i miss being like 22, if i knew then what i knew now, i'd have a license and would maybe still be thinner. oh well. ther are far worse things to be than overweight. ever if the media doesn't agree.

* Does your current level of alcohol consumption interfere with daily function? It doesn't sound like it.
* Does alcohol help you, as in, self-medicate? Because although it's probably not the best medication, it's not the worst, in moderation, either. It sounds like it does.
* Then there is the demonstrated fact that light alcohol consumption (1-2 drinks per day) of any kind is good for you.
So maybe there should be some alcohol in your life.
So then, there's diet. Blood sugar and insulin and all that is basically determine whether you have food cravings, as in the kind of hunger that makes you think about food all the time. Low carb diets dramatically reduce cravings, but Person A may need to stay on something like Atkins induction in order to be "bored with food" while Person B might do the same with 100-200 grams of low-glycemic index carbs per day. It varies. One thing for sure, though, a 1200 calorie low-FAT diet, which is the typical WW/JC plan, is very, very difficult for most people to maintain.
If you are able to get a couple hours of low-intensity exercise per day, walking or something similar, that could be very helpful. Low-intensity exercise (200-400 cal/hr) does actually burn enough calories to make a difference in a diet, if you do it long enough and often, but it stays within the window where your body is able to produce those calories from fat, or from carbs that you have recently consumed. Low-intensity exercise will not make you super hungry. (But high intensity exercise, like running, cycling, swimming, definitely well.)
Blah blah blah, hope you had a nice alcohol evening.
