    Default not eating crap at work.

    Okay. I need to stop this. But it seems that whenever I have more than 3 drinks I completely lose my willpower and buy some crap from the club kitchen. I need willpower! My guts feel punched-in for about six hours afterward, without fail.

    I even bring my own food sometimes but it's just one of those awful, pavlovian drunken compulsions...

    ugh, i share your pain!

    i am so good during the day... no chocolates, no junk food. then as soon as i get to work i go to the corner store to get a bottle of water and some gum and i walk out with a tin of pringles and 2 candy bars! i dont know why i do it. i think someone has put a hex on that store that weakens willpower or something haha.

    i am SO glad my club doesn't have a kitchen.

    Don't have more than one drink at work and bring in healthy snacks consistently.

    Well, having the three drinks is already a bunch of empty calories, so there ya go. Don't beat yourself up about it, but also try not to drink that much @ work on a regular basis - it will always make you want fat/salt so save it for when you're out and can at least eat the best crap you can get at a decent restaurant.

    If you bring healthy snacks will you still be disciplined enough to choose them over fried club food? You can try.

    eh, I'm the exact same way. Our dj will order pizza for us pretty often, and I try my BEST to stay away from it. But after a few drinks......I give in. I've even wrapped up a slice of pizza in a napkin while drunk and put it in my locker for later cuz I was worried there wouldn't be any left later!!!!

    Maybe I should put a rubber band around my wrist or something. It happened again tonight! And I even had a cliff bar!

    Really, no absorbing of advice or commiseration. I just frustrate myself *self-flagellation* I SO could have done 2 dances in the time it took me to eat that burger tonight!!!

    I do a big glass of ice H2O with a healthy squirt of lemon juice. For some reason the lemon cuts my appetite and the H2O makes me feel refreshed so I don't want to eat junk...

    There's a perfectly good medical reason for this... fat absorbs alcohol, and keeps you from getting as drunk. Everyone craves fried food when they drink, because their bodies are begging for fat and starch. Remember that alcohol is technically a poison; your body screams for fat and starch because it knows that will keep you from being "poisoned" so much.

    This is why bars don't usually serve fresh fruit and cut veggies. They digest too quickly. Alcohol makes us all crave things like cheese fries, chicken wings, and fried pickles. Last night K and I had a couple of vodka tonics and it took all our willpower not to stop for chicken wings and potato skins on the walk home!

    So yeah, don't drink so much and you won't crave the junk. Guaranteed.

    Oh man, you have not LIVED until you've had deep-fried dill pickles. They're a Southern thing. You cut the pickles into thick slices, batter them in a milky cornmeal garlic batter, and fry 'em up. Serve them with horseradish sauce and they're out of this world, especially if you're drinking!
