I do love wine, but I don't drink it that often. I would miss it at some point if I couldn't EVER have it again though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-give-up-wine-completely/page/2#post-1683377 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 20:47:47 +0000 mrbee 1683377@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sea_bass: Was about to reply, but saw that @birdofafeather: said what I would've said!</p> <p>@erind425: That's how I feel... I had no problems giving up sweets, but wine has been tougher! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-give-up-wine-completely/page/2#post-1682203 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 15:25:41 +0000 jape14 1682203@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would rather give up sweets or other junk food than wine! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-give-up-wine-completely/page/2#post-1682183 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 15:17:48 +0000 yoursilverlining 1682183@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sure I *could* physically give it up, but I don't want to. </p> <p>I'm not a fan of any diet/eating plan where you have to give up anything completely. Wine (and booze in general) is a treat, like any other. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-give-up-wine-completely/page/2#post-1682175 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 15:12:54 +0000 birdofafeather 1682175@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sea_bass: I was thinking he was asking not during pregnancy but by choice for the whole30, etc. also, I only gave wine up during the first 4 months of pregnancy and then had a glass now and again after that. </p> <p>I could not give up wine. I want to do the whole30 but I would probably forgo that rule too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-give-up-wine-completely/page/2#post-1682139 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 15:02:24 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 1682139@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wine? Yep, no problem.<br /> Beer/cider is a different story </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-give-up-wine-completely/page/2#post-1682038 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 14:34:41 +0000 Dandelion 1682038@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yep. I don't drink it that much to care. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-give-up-wine-completely/page/2#post-1681998 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 14:24:21 +0000 Alivoo01 1681998@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup. I only drink it when I'm with the girls or out at a fancy restaurant celebrating an occasion. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-give-up-wine-completely/page/2#post-1681983 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 14:20:36 +0000 sea_bass 1681983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes... I'd say 99% of HB has given up wine for at least 9 months.. Seems an odd crowd to be canvassing the ability to give up wine.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-give-up-wine-completely#post-1681971 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 14:19:18 +0000 Caly 1681971@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sunny: same! easy peasy since I think it tastes like barf water. :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-give-up-wine-completely#post-1681958 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 14:16:46 +0000 blackbird 1681958@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Forever?!

I didn't miss any alcohol while pregnant. I only like a few types of wine and I don't love the way alcohol makes me feel. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-give-up-wine-completely#post-1681634 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 13:14:54 +0000 Greentea 1681634@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Already have! Have not had wine in years. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-give-up-wine-completely#post-1681626 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 13:13:23 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1681626@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely. I like wine but I've never felt like I need it.</p> <p>coffee though- that's been my hardest part about the whole30! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-give-up-wine-completely#post-1681604 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 13:08:08 +0000 jedeve 1681604@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. I have a bladder disorder that really limits what I can eat - no coffee, tea, alcohol, chocolate, citrus, vinegar, or spices. Luckily it's in remission now, but I didn't have any of that for two years!</p> <p>It really bugged me when people would tell me "they would die if they had to live like that" or "they could never do that." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-give-up-wine-completely#post-1681588 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 13:05:50 +0000 loveisstrange 1681588@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Absolutely. I rarely drink anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-give-up-wine-completely#post-1681585 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 13:05:20 +0000 cmomma17 1681585@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sure, and I do like it.<br /> I went almost 2 years between pregnancy and nursing. When I finally had a glass again, it was kind of overrated! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-give-up-wine-completely#post-1681571 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 13:03:03 +0000 LAZB 1681571@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love wine, but really didn't miss it at all when I was pregnant, so I probably could give it up. Now that I'm not pregnant I really should cut it out, it sure would save me a lot of calories! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-give-up-wine-completely#post-1681569 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 13:02:15 +0000 IRunForFun 1681569@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sure. I have a glass or two of wine here and there but I'm not a wine connoisseur or anything, plus I could enjoy other drinks. Although, I could relatively easily give up alcohol entirely if I needed to. </p> <p>Don't come between me and my coffee though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-give-up-wine-completely#post-1681564 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 13:01:09 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1681564@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup. I've been pregnant or nursing for the past two years and have maybe had ten glasses in that time. </p>
