It seems to me your answers are already in your post, maybe you are waiting for someone to say "No, you don't have to give it up, its not doing anything bad to/for you!" My personal experience was similar, I suddenly realized that sometimes I was getting unhappy with clients because they were cutting into my drink-thirty time. I also binged once in awhile (aw, crap, it's 4:00am, I am going to have to stop watching movies, send out a few emails to reschedule this morning's appointments, and get some sleep!) I stopped entirely, that being easier for me than moderation. It was not easy at first, as I considered a fine scotch/cognac very romantic. After a few months, the good news came for me: I was ten pounds lighter with no other dietary change, my gross sales doubled, my life goals started getting implemented, and because of that, my stress level dropped. Smaller meal portions have taken another 15 pounds off (my Wii now says I am only 11 pounds over its idea of an ideal weight). Now I am adding in moderate exercise, which again is a stress reducer for me, as well as I expect to see more weight loss and muscle tone. I am now getting ready to start hiring more help, and replace myself on up the org chart. Your mileage may vary... |
