This is a great post and conversation. I was getting really frustrated with slow loss and battling strong cravings. I was so close to giving in to a heat this weekend but I sayed OP. as a result I had a whoosh and at my WI (2 weeks) I was down 7 lbs.! Yippee!

I thought I'd miss having a glass of wine when going out with friends but I don't. I order Perrier in a 'pretty glass' instead. My friends and my hubby's friends are extremely supportive and don't push me to drink or eat. The other night we were out with a large group of his male friends and one other wife. Well she asked me why I wasn't having a drink. Hubby's best friend grabbed my hand and made me do a spin and said look at her...that's why she's not drinking. It was sweet.

Actually, that part was straight from me. I've found that the only time I've ever deviated from plan there has been alcohol involved. :o The part about postponing fat burning is from Atkins!

You are a WISE woman, then! Good advice.
I'm not a drinker - just never found anything I like and I'm super sensitive to the strong taste of liquor (get it honestly from my mom). If and when I do have a drink it's a lot of juices with a little something like peach Schnapps. So, never had the personal experiences of what a little inebriation makes one do, lol! :D
