I think what you said is really interesting. Since I've been lo-carbing I've noticed a real similarity in the way I approach alcohol and the way I used to approach carbs. I would eat too much at a time; I would eat until I was almost disgusted with myself. I'm not a binge drinker, but I will admit that sometimes I find I've drunk far more than I want to without thinking about it too much. My carb 'addiction' leaned toward things like potato chips and cheezies, and I could make a good dent in a large bag of Ruffles!

So I'm trying to approach the alcohol thing now in those terms. I know it alters your brain chemistry -- that's why that first drink is soooo good, but I wonder whether that can be controlled. If I make a concentrated effort, with the knowledge of how I relate and react to certain foods, can I control my alcohol intake in the same way that I've learned to control my carb intake?

Sure would like to.

All the best,

Joanna
