[QUOTE="Duckslayer100, post: 42395, member: 1485"] The hardest thing for me, honestly, was booze. Which makes me sound like an alcoholic. But I'm pretty sure I'm not? At least, I wasn't getting drunk every night. But first thing I craved coming home from work and while I was grilling or making supper, was a cold beer. Or maybe a brandy/pepsi with lots of ice. I'd sip on that, then have one more before bed. This went double on the weekends. So what's that...like, what, 18-20 drinks a week? That's a load of extra calories with ZERO health benefit. Cutting down the booze was tough at first. The urge was strong. But now I don't even think about it. My wife usually makes me a cocktail Saturday out of the blue, and that's a treat. If you really want to tackle weight and health, the first thing you should try to do is cut back on the booze and fizzy drinks. Pop, beer, and your half-frap-extra-cream-latte-espresso drinks are basically like drinking a Big Mac, without the benefits of vitamins or minerals. Substitute with water.
