Right, so as some of you will know on the 29th I'm flying to Gibraltar until the 14th October.
Now I'm having a proper dilemma.
Up until recently I've been adamant that nothing is going to make me stop TFR before target. I mean seriously, it's my 24th on Wednesday and I'm staying on the shakes.
However Gib is going to present some challenges and I'm not sure what to do.
I'm travelling with my grandmother and staying with her at my father's apartment. She is a native Gibraltarian and therefore intent on feeding up everyone she meets. (Which incidentally is how I first became overweight) I know they are planning on going for meals out and there have already been arguments about me not eating and we're not even there yet! Not only that but as already mentioned I am staying with my father (only recently started talking after six years of stony silence - long story) who is a chef. He hasn't been told of the diet but I know he's not going to be happy. Due to the chef part I think he might challenge me to eat healthy things that he prepares for me.
Another problem to be thought about is emotional eating. I've been on this diet long enough to know that I don't need food to make myself feel better, however this trips presents me with an unavoidable meeting with someone whom I detest more than anyone else on earth and cannot bear to see pictures of, nevermind sit near. So this is a worry that I'll get so stressed I'll turn to food.
My original plan was to take 2 weeks worth of LT with me and stick to it. After several conversations this then turned to 'attempt to stick to it but if I have one meal with 2 shakes every so often I'll be okay' which has now turned into (with thanks to Medea ) buy 3 weeks worth, take 2 with me and try my best to stay on TFR but if I have one or two meals out with family to save tears etc then stick to good choices etc and then I have one week to undo the damage before I go back to the pharmacy.
I'm so confused. I really, really don't want to come off TFR but at the same time I'm neither delusional nor Superwoman (unlike LisaLisa ).
*le sigh*
