Alcohol is an appetite suppressant - thats why if you drink on an empty stomach its like rocket fuel to the brain. well it was in my case. If I was drinking or planning to drink I would never eat. Eating is cheating after all. Now that I am moderating I make sure that if I have a drink I have something to eat with it before the buzz gets a chance to kick in cos then its all over rover. I accidentally missed out on eating recently and boy I was down that slippery slope so quick.... lucky I had my teenage daughter to beat me up and keep me on the straight and narrow. Also seeing as I have been AF more or less for over 3 months it hit me so quick. I used to have huge tolerance now I obviously have none so I have to be very vigilant with the moderating. I only ever have a drink if I go out. I never buy any or keep any at home - I am totally used to that now and it doesnt bother me at all. I just have to be careful when I am out that I make sure I eat so I dont go mental.....
