Guess whos back...
Well hope everyone had a great Xmas and NY, just back from my trip to Florida and things didnt quite go to SS plan on my trip, not because i failed as such, or i really see it as a last minute change of mind and decision on my part ( i even had my packs in suitcase to USA but never used em). I dont feel bad or failed, i still in control and will be when i contuine to drop the pounds this week when i restart my SS, anyway would appriecate your thoughts on the good the bad and the ugly:
Right onto the bad news first...
I couldn't do it, or more i actively decided not to SS on my holiday, it was all very sudden and at the very last minutes i changed my mind. Basically i sat on the plane with the airlines meal in front of me and simply thought to myself that firstly it was the holiday season and secondly i was having my first holiday for 2years and probably last for 3-4 years due to emigrating plans (more later). And the more i looked at the airline meal the more i thought to myself "well i have done so so well so far, lost 5 1/2 stone in 3months easy without error or ever being tempted to fail, so whats 10days of food going to do but put some back on, i can lose it as fast again". Maybe it was or wasn't the right thoughts but i did sit there on the plane 36000ft above the ground and i decided that for the duration of my holiday and return i would eat normally and take the consequences and then return to SS when i return home. I did think about doing the right food with no-carbs and small portions but it was just not going to work on holiday in theme parks and always on the go, so i even decided that i would eat whatever, good or bad, and just return to SS later. So thats the bad confessed, i have enjoyed a holiday of Carbs and Sugar !! But please dont see it as me losing willpower or failing, as i dont see it like that i genuinely see it that i made a decision i was going to eat whatever and return to SS as soon as i decided, i still totally felt in control of my actions and that was the important thing to me, food wasn't in control i was still in control of food and decided to eat it for a while.
So the good news...
I still have enough packs to last me until thursday this week, as i plan to restart my SS diet on Saturday morning, yes its a minor cop-out in fact i am deciding to eat today at home as a one last treat before 3-4 months of SS again, but again its a conscious decision and i am controlling it. I shall return to SS and my water/packs on Saturday and like before i will get straight into as before, hopefully it will only take 1-2 weeks to lose what i just added back on my holiday (guessing as i haven't been near any scales as i still dont own any! i would guess on 11-12days of junk food i must have added back 7-8 pounds over a holiday? Although the smaller XL clothes i bought before trip still fit fine, so hopefully damage hasn't been too bad.
Oh the Ugly news....
I accept the fact i will need to go through the 3-4days of pain and cravings again when i restart the diet Saturday, i accepted that fact and new it would come when i tucked into that Airline meal on the plane, it doesn't bother me too much, i got through no problem last time and i already have a SS routine and will sweep straight back into Saturday morning.
