Default Holidays and other diet-threatening things...

Just got back from a week on holiday. I tried my best. Had sorbet when the kids had an ice-cream, crab when everyone else had fish and chips.. and as we were at Robin Hoods Bay (massive hill to climb every day) and on a campsite on a big hill, I reckoned I was probably getting some exercise - although not my normal 1 - 2 hours dog walking, and exercise DVDs.

I know it's meant to be good if you go away and don't put weight on, but I can't help being a bit disappointed that I haven't lost anything this week. Haven't gained either.... It is my third week and that's around the time I stalled on diets in the past, which is also probably why I'm worried. I usually use FitDay to work out how many calories I've had, and think I was also struggling - possibly even having less, most days whilst away as I was so 'good'. And that too can stall you, I know. But I can't help feeling a bit disappointed that after going on holiday - and actually being a good girl - I still haven't lost weight.

I have got into jeans I have never worn before - and I feel 'thinner'. Which was why I was surprised I had no weight loss. I'm doing the Rosemary Conley diet and she puts more emphasis on measurements than weight and I've lost 1" from my bust and 2" from my thighs in just the last week - so I shouldn't feel bad. I'm trying hard to be positive so I don't fall off the wagon.

So here's my question. How have your holidays/birthdays/family occasions other situations knocked you back, with weight loss, in the past? How did you cope with it? Did you get back on track afterwards? Someone reassure me, quick!

Hey PollySis,

I went away in June and really tried to be 'good'. We even booked a hotel wtih a gym so i could keep up some sort of exercise regime....

After a few days of too many treats and too much stuf i wasn't used to eating/drinking i was feeling really sluggish and my skin broke out etc so i thought to myself that it wasnt actually worth going off track coz i was feeling rubbish. So, i tucked into loads of fresh fruit and salads n went to the gym every other day, played tennis and swam most days and found that when i got back i had only gained 3lbs, which i have managed to lose in the 6 weeks since i got back (YEY!).


It sounds to me like you are doing great on your diet, and you managed to chose options which were within your diet even though there were other temptations around. I think lots of people seem to have weeks when they dont 'lose' any lbs so try not to feel too down about it and keep thinking that you haven't gained (like i did!).

Allow yourself treats but make sure that is all they are and dont let yourself slip back into old habbits and you'll be fine im sure. Your holiday wasnt about weight loss - it was about family time, and it sounds like you enjoyed that aspect of it so having not put weight on as well is a bonus hey!

Keep up the good work and enjoy wearing your skinny jeans! isnt it a GREAT feeling when you get back into them!
