Ok so after a healthy start, I decided to throw real caution to the wind. I had a Disney dining plan and decided after 4 days of boredom to stop wasting snack credits on side-salads and using them as main meal.
There is no unhealthier version of mashed potatoes than Florida-style, but none tastier.
I had my first beer in 18 months (all two of 'em)
First pizza in over a year
First white bread in 10 months
First butter in 10 months
First burger in 10 months (and fries!)
Shrimps in batter (by the dozen)
barbecues ribs
Fried chicken (folks laughed because I removed skin)
I managed several combinations of the above, but stuck religiously to diet coke (much to people's amusement).
I also had Alligator for the first time, and yes, they are tasty, very much like sweet chicken - anyone who has sampled Frogs Legs in Paris will know what I mean. I can't say whether Alligator tastes like that or as I suspect has some serious additives to make them taste un-riverfied. lol.
So, back on plan as expected straightaway, and will find out tomorrow night what the damage was. I felt a lot fuller of course, much fatter and also felt the clothes much tighter. This would be a natural feeling though - partly brought on by guilt. I really feel like I gained a stone. I sure I haven't and hope that is just panic setting in.
Whatever it is, I will get it back off. I'm also happy to re-assess my target weight and drop it by a further stone as at present I am in the high range of normal BMI.
Just got to keep telling myself, the worse it is at WI tomorrow, the more will come off the week after!

The enjoyment of the holiday which cost a pretty penny meant I made the conscious effort to come off plan rather than be miserable and waste £500+ worth of food as it was included.
I'll post the damage tomorrow!
