18. My situation exactly!
Wed Jan 1, 2020, 03:08 PM
Jan 2020

I have gotten in the habit of having a glass of wine (or two) every night! I still have a glass every now and again, but not every night. And I have battled my sweet tooth by having a bowl of sugar free hard candies in the living room. I frequently have a hard peppermint and a hard caramel at the same time. Nice combo! But it keeps me from indulging in CHOCOLATES! If it's not in the house, then I can't eat it.

For the pasta, try some zucchini pasta with delicious sauce on it. My grocery store sells it already cut, or you can thin cut it yourself. You can also get spiral cut squash that works as pasta too.

I used to have an egg and toast every morning. Now I have an egg (fried or hard boiled) on a bed of greens - often arugula - along with other cut veggies. It's very satisfying (I am a bit of a salad freak) and it keeps me from getting hungry mid-morning.

Good luck on your journey as well.
