That is so true! I tried diet after diet while drinking - trying to "count" my 800 beer calories so they would fit into my diet of choice. But like clockwork, food success for two ot three days, drink with my best friend to celebrate, and it's all over. Food binge cycle starts again. What's that old saying "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result." I am only 38 years old, and I have been in great shape before while also drinking, but I am afraid that that ship has sailed and I have to decide if I want to trade health and physical attractiveness for some laughs on a bar stool twice a week.
