So here I go, tomorrow morning at 5.20am me and my family will set out on our 10 day holiday to my dad in Germany. Why oh why do I go on holiday at the start of development , which even without distraction proofs quite a challenge on a daily basis, and my decision to have a meal a day thrown in for good measure…
This has been a decision I have made a long time ago, and I am still very much at ease about it, although all the recent posts about people going on holiday and eating have made me somewhat realise that I really, really, need to be disciplined what/when/ and how to eat. My plan is basically to do some sort of "mini-management", i.e. 3 shakes and one protein/salad meal a day. I know I will probably find it hard afterwards but on the other hand, I find it hard as it is at the moment so maybe taking it a little easier during the holidays might help me to refocus afterwards (or maybe this is just my wishful thinking…)
Mainly I would like to be able to share company and food with my dad, who is by himself now, and I know how much he values company and sharing experiences. There might be a bit adapted child thinking going on, but this is really important to me, as I am just soo far away from him but also to be honest I am just about ok feeling excluded socially whilst milling about at home but on holiday I don't want to be freaky and moody mummy..., but I will play it by ear. I will bring all my shakes with me so should I change my mind I can.
I already told my dad, that he needs to buy me loads of salad and fish and I won't be having any bread and the like. To which he very suspiciously enquired as to what sort of diet I was on (bread and Germany somehow go together, but I won't start talking about all the yummy varieties here :drool:…) I had a difficult time trying to distract him ("oh, just trying to eat healthy and avoid carbs a bit, anyway….") without giving away about LL, as I still want my new me to be a big surprise for him. Oh I am getting excited now! And I have even bought a white fitted linen shirt (size 16) which looks really great, and is something I would have not worn before.
Most of the packing is done but I will have to set out to the supermarket later today to stock up on all the goodies my family will need to survive the journey. Oh, and the house is a complete mess, but let's not worry about that now…Door to door we will be travelling for about 10 hours, and what do we normally do whilst travelling, yep, eat! As I am in charge of the shopping, I will make it as healthy (and non trigger food for me) as possible, and will just sip the Mariegold which I will bring in my trusty flask.
I will try and keep you all up to date about my weight during holidays (will keep an eye on it on my dad's unreliable scales).
