Hiya Biggy,
Congratulations on your great weight loss so far!
I'm not sure if you have any more weight to lose or not, but I just wanted to warn you about eating whilst on holiday, this may not apply to you, but just wanted to give you my experience.
I did CD last year, which is more or less the same as LL, but without the counselling. I went on holiday and decided that I would eat, I decided that I would just eat protein and green veg, but it didn't stop there and I couldn't stop myself. I kept thinking "well I'm on holiday, I'll start again when I get back". I tried so hard to get back on it and made it to a couple of days on packs, then gave in again, then tried again.
Cut a long story short, I had 3 holidays last year and each time I took my packs with me and lasted a few days, then just ate again.
I had lost 2.5 stones, but by the end of the year I ended up putting on 3.5 stones!!!!
My CD counsellor did tell me that once I started eating, I wouldn't be able to stop, and I just though "yeah right, no not me".
Not saying that this is going to happen to you, but please have a really good think about eating when on holiday, I'd hate for you to go through the same experience as me.
