Tomorrow will be the first day of week 3 for me since restarting. My first CD attempt only lasted 2.5 weeks (Don't know if thats relevant to the question I am about to ask)
The last 2 weeks have been great. Weight is coming off, have been glugging the water & having my shakes, no nibbling at all! I've shocked myself so far but I feel very determined.
I go on holiday to Greece 2 weeks tomorrow, so the week I am away should be my AAM week. When I restarted 2 weeks ago I thought I would just ignore my diet for the holiday, not have shakes and just try to eat very sensibly while I was away. That now seems to have been a bad idea as I am seeing results and the scales are moving nicely so I don't want to ruin it. My thought was "So what if I put on half a stone, I'll have a good time and lose it when I come back." Not the right attitude I don't think.
So now I am thinking I will take my shakes with me. Keep up the water intake (4-5L a day I am doing at the moment) and do my AAM while I am away. We will be eating out most of the time so I know this would take a huge amount of willpower but is it possible? I don't want to set myself up for failure by setting myself an unrealistic target. I know it would mean ordering plain chicken or fish etc and just green salad or green veg and then probably only eating a third (if that!) of what arrived on my plate and having the strength to leave the rest. I'm not usually very strong when it comes to willpower but it's going well so far.
I could really do with some advice about what to do. I need to get my head round it before I go so that I get into the right frame of mind and SUCCEED in achieving whatever I decide to do that week.
Thanks if anyone can help
