Sez
has started again!!
Well, my much talked about & hugely anticipated holiday starts on Saturday, and for the first time in ages I have been dreaming about food again. I am beginning to stress over it big time.
I made the decision to have 3 packs and one meal a day, and I still believe that is the right one for me, however, its almost as if my subconscious is telling me no! As I have said before, a holiday is a rare treat for us, unless you count last year with a week spent in torrential rain at a camp site near Alton Towers! We camp often, and normally its fun but that just was bloomin' awful! So this year, we thought we'd go for it a book a holiday in the sun!!
I know that if I tell myself its LL or nothing, my rebellious child will really kick up, and chances are she will win, I will become really crabby and I will return much much heavier, decide I am a failure and give up. (I know myself so very well, we've been together for 43 years after all LOL) After listening to all your differing advice on holiday eating, and talking to others in my own group, and ofcourse my LLC, this plan has been decided on.
I have asked my family to be very supportive, not in the "You look great now" kind of way, but in the help & guidance over food kind of way. You know, the odd suggestion that a bottle of cold water would be much more refreshing than a sugary ice cream, that kind of thing! They have said they will, so fingers crossed.
I am hoping to book a pop-in on the Monday after I return, and as we come back on a Saturday, that will be the day I start SS-ing again. Hopefully by my official WI, the next Thursday, I will have rid myself of any holiday weight...
The only planned deviation from this is the lure of a real paella. I am going to have this at least once whilst we are away, as it is an absolute treat for me, and a must whilst in Spain! So, to summarise, one paella, a little alcohol, lots of protein and salad, minimal (if any) bread, and loads of water and swimming, swimming and more swimming!
I have it all planned, in an adult fashion. I should be ok with it all...
SO WHY AM I SO VERY STRESSED OVER IT?
Please help....sob sob....
