Default beer bloat!

I was out to a hockey game this weekend and had dinner and drinks before the
game with friends. The original plan was to eat at a pub which always means
limited vegetarian choices for me. I was very happy when someone suggested
a Mediterranean restaurant instead. It was so yummy and much better than
the artery-clogging nachos I would have been stuck with at the pub. I
planned on having 3 beers (haven't had beer in ages). Halfway through the
second beer I started to feel very bloated and uncomfortably full. I gave
the rest of my beer to DH and went for some water. I felt so full all
night, all I wanted to do was go home and lay down -- or barf LOL. I don't
think I've ever felt like that after one and a half beers before and
although it tasted quite nice I think it will be a while before I desire a
brew again. Since I had planned on nachos and 3 beers I came out under my
cal limit for the day, but I was way too bloated to even think about eating
anything else.

It continues to amaze me that I can still eat things that before I would
have considered "forbidden" and still lose weight -- all it takes is a
little preplanning. The concept is so simple, I don't know why it wasn't so
obvious to me before!

I happily report a 2lb drop this week.

Very cool, Willow. Keep it up!

It's also fun to realize foods you thought you really, really loved (and
of course were off the calorie & fat charts) don't quite *do it* for you
anymore. I seldom use butter or mayo anymore.

Mary responds:
Way true. I lost 60 lb from last September to now, on a low carb/low
fat diet, and I'm finding higher fat stuff tastes ick. Fried stuff
actually taste gross. Dunno why that is, but its pronounced. We have a
KFC place near us, and sometimes on the weekends when no one feels like
cooking, we get take out for our three kids, and I'm not even remotely
tempted to eat the stuff anymore.

I also find I'm doing the math in my head all the time and calculating
the trade offs ...lets see...if I can have X calories, I can either
have one tiny micro serving of this (pick some high fat or high carb
item) OR I can have a huge amount of this low cal alternatives. Right
now, my heads way more into the volume - probably because I'm thinking
about ways to NOT end up hungry.

I even do the math on condiments...okay, if I put butter or mayo on it,
that means I can't eat that extra tub of low fat yoghurt...which I'd
rather have!

If you've been on a diet for a while you probably have less capacity in your
stomach than you did before, the stomach is elastic. Beer can be very
filling, especially if you don't normally have fizzy drinks as part of your
diet.

It continues to amaze me that I can still eat things that before I would
have considered "forbidden" and still lose weight -- all it takes is a
little preplanning. The concept is so simple, I don't know why it wasn't

Yeah, I went to Starbucks on Sat & had a blueberry muffin & caramel
macchiato with cream whilst still staying under 1200 cals for the day. I had
cereal & fruit for b'fast but nothing after Starbucks, it wasn't a
temptation I couldn't resist, I had planned all along I'd have a fattening
coffee & a muffin. You have to indulge sometimes. Maybe I didn't get enough
protein & nutrition that day but one day of 'nutritional defficiency' hasn't
killed anybody...

I happily report a 2lb drop this week.

Congrats...
