this is just a fyi. You're right that its effecting my weight and body comp negatively.
I'd just observe that you always have a rationalization for everything, whether it's not wanting to wear a shirt, or bringing a bottle into rehab, or alcohol not making you fat. Rationalizations can be great. They can allow one to keep functioning when it seems hopeless. But they can also allow you to justify doing stuff you KNOW you shouldn't because 'everyone here does it'. If you're trying to beat an addiction, perhaps you should not try to justify behaviors you know are bad because others who are also failing are doing them.
