Day 31 Decide about drinking
Today’s Thought:
Once I accept the fact that I need to limit my drinking, dieting will be easier.
Does your diet plan discourage alcohol? If so, how do you feel about giving it up? Drinking alcohol is an individual choice. My personal decision is to have a drink only occasionally because I’d much rather spend my calories on food. If you want to fit drinking into your diet, you need to plan your alcohol intake in advance, just as you do your food intake. This means limiting your consumption and making sure that alcohol doesn’t loosen your inhibitions about eating.
How Much, How Often
Think about your choices: You can decide not to drink at all, or you can set some kind of limit. For example, you might decide to have one drink a day, a week, a month, or somewhere in-between. Or you might have a drink just on special occasions. If you choose to drink, you’ll need to figure out how to fit it in without taking in too many calories. Ask yourself, Do I really want to spend my calories this way? Would I rather eat or drink instead?
Whatever you decide to do about alcohol is fine, as long as:
You don’t skimp on food.
You plan when and how much you’ll drink.
You calculate beforehand how caloric the drink is.
You don’t allow alcohol to lead to unplanned eating.

The only reason we go for the premium package versus the plus (or whatever it is) is that the wines allowed are so much better than with the cheaper package. Also we get free meals at the specialty restaurants.
