I had the same problem you had.. not with alcohol (I don't drink) but come friday around 6pm, I would just fall off my diet and wouldn't get back on until Monday morning...
Last month on several weigh ins I had gained 3lbs total ( up and down ) I told myself it was time to stick to the diet, or it's not going to happen.
I save all my Flex Points for the weekends.. I use 5 for friday and half of my APS that I earn, 15 for saturday and the other 15 on sunday. I make myself choose healthy foods when I go out.. I realize that seeing seeing that number go down on the scale was far more important that eating some greasy hamburger or cheesy pizza...
I told my mind I have to do this.. and I did and I'm doing it right now.. I finally look forward to weigh in.. I know that if I gain, like I did the week after thanksgiving (.5lb) that it wasn't important and that staying OP was.
You can do this.. Anyone can do this.. you just have to want to do it.
