Sometimes a break is required to keep sane. It's hard to be perfect all the time - not only in dieting, but in all aspects of life. We're human, we make mistakes, we fall off the wagon. The first step is getting back on and trying to get to where you want to be. You'll achieve your goals soon :) I love wine too, but I try to limit myself to 1 glass during the week and occasionally some on the weekends. Don't cut something out that you enjoy because it will always come back and haunt you. Also, if you drink white wine, put club soda in it. It lessens the calories and tastes good. I prefer red wine -- red and club soda don't really mix well.
