I need to lose two stone. I can easily easily - with absolutely no problem at all eat wheat free, dairy free, sugar free, gluten free. I can live on fruit veg and all natural ingredients. Love nuts and seeds and smoothies in the morning. Can eat porridge and not bothered about chocolate or sweet stuff. I can forgo pasta, white flour, toast / bread. I can even completely give up meat - I'm just not that bothered. However - the ONLY thing I can't give up is red wine.
Now - I don't drink in the day, I don't drink in the mornings. I just want it with my evening meal. I know it's full of bloody sugar and I can't lose weight if I have it - but I just need it. I have young children so we never go out. I don't smoke. I almost feel it's my only enjoyment in life once the kids are in bed.
I can go a few days - even a week having herbal tea & water instead but then I have a stressful day or just feel sorry that I can't have what I want - and I'm back on it.
I don't know what I'm after with this post - I'm just so sick of myself. And rhe next day I feel rubbish because I feel like all the healthy eating has been useless.
I'm genuinely not arsed about food - I love healthy food. But if I can't have my wine I'm a miserable ARSE. Even my husband says Jesus have some wine - you're a nightmare.
Anyone else experience this? Ps. There are lots of other drinks I could have if it was just alcohol content - but it's only wine that I want. It's the taste I think. So sick of feeling like a failure.
