I went out for some drinks with the girls yesterday. Now drinks are a tricky thing. They are definitely fattening because they are all carbs/sugars. And, unlike other fattening liquids like juices or soda, with alcohol and my friends in the mix, if you're not over doing it, well then you are just not doing it right. It's a temptation that's hard to resist.
It seems that since with weight watchers everything is about the points that you're eating, alcohol is one of those point consumers that make you really question whether you should even eat at all during the day so that you can have enough points to drink during the night...At least in my alcohol induced mind.
Of course the easiest thing to do would probably be to forgo the alcohol altogether. Then I could eat whatever meals I wanted. But who wants to do that? Not me. That becomes one of those restrictions that would make this seem more of a diet then a better way to eat. Diets end, life changes don't. I want to be able to overindulge once in a while and have a few drinks. In the end I have to keep in mind its a good thing there's always extra points just for that. Otherwise, I might have to give up thinness for the sake of enjoying myself with my friends....naaaaah, that would be crazy! Right?
