Comfort eating
I'm going have a week of trying really hard to apply the Weightwatchers programme this week - I need to remind myself that when I do it properly I can actually lose weight. One of the things I've been having problems with in the last couple of weeks particuarly but also generally is comfort eating. Or not exactly comfort eating but I've been finding that I get home and have dinner and a glass of wine and then what seems to happen is that I feel tired and perhaps a little bored and just want to sit in front of the TV with another glass of wine and perhaps a toasted pitta or bakewell tart. And then repeat for the next 3 hours or so.
So my question is have you got any suggestions for things I could try instead. I need something with fairly low barrier to entry (as it were) as it's difficult to get myself started but once I'm going I can get re-energised fairly quickly. Ideally it should also be something that I don't do just sitting down in the living room, at least for the moment as I currently associate that with relaxing with wine, pittas, etc. Any ideas?
Also, as support is so important ( :) ) I thought I'd organise a pub meet tonight. Far from the Madding Crowd? (Or Copa, but they have more tempting food) from around 5:45? Comment now and I'll txt![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

You could stay off Scotch and try bourbon, which is sweeter without being sickly: Jack Daniels is a perfectly acceptable entry-level bourbon. I love red wine also. I quite like very old Macallan Scotch; I will sip at Glen Moray and at Lagavulin, but sadly the best-ever Scotch, Bhunabhain ('bune-ah-hav-ain') is no more. But a good Macallan is lovely. Most blends will taket he roof of your mouth off and give you a nasty headache besides, so stay off the Bell's and the Dewar's. Even if offered them to you by a B & B landlady served by the teacupful at 8 a.m., they will dae ye nae gude, as I have found to my cost.
