Seriously. I shifted to whiskey last fall.  I went from one bottle to now about 20.  I'll still drink a beer or two on the weekend in a social setting, but I find I can get a nice pour of bourbon or Scotch and it's under 100 calories.  And while a DIPA like Sip is bad, the big imperial stouts are even worse.  I've got some left, and I'll drink them.  But I may never buy another.  A Bourbon County (at 12oz, even though the bottle is 16.9 now) is 475 calories.

Cheese is a bad one, and I love cheese.  But a place that is easy to cut is bread.  It's amazing how many calories are in various forms of bread.  Using "sandwich thins" in place of a grocery store roll saves 150 calories.  Since I bring lunch to work every day, that's  750 calories a week just on weekdays.

I'm finding that there are ways to splurge or snack that can be more enjoyable than expected.  And no, not eating celery.  Davio's philly cheese steak spring rolls are the most delicious things imaginable.  100 calories each.  So two of them is the same as four crackers with cheese, or a small bowl of potato chips.  But you really feel indulged.
