I've been in the kitchen, clearing out and emptying them
The cupboard is bare - the holiday is over.
It's really a very good analogy of my life right now. I've emptied the cupboards, I've put all the foods away and there will be a new start.
I'm flying home in the morning and all holiday indulgences are over. I'm back "on plan" with a really strong frame of mind, wanting to get on and hit some more goals. My food cupboards are bare.
Being on holiday and doing so many nice things has really strengthened my desire to reach my goals. I have done so much with my part-way-there successes and I'm excited at what more my life has in store for me.
I have been away 14 days and I would guess 8 of them have been on my 'soup' plan and strict dieting days. Others I have been out for meals with family. I haven't gone mad but might have put some weight on, certainly not much. I flew out in a pair of crop trousers that were a nice fit, not loose but not too tight. I haven't worn them all holiday and today I tried them on and they are neither loose nor tight. I can't feel any difference so I don't think I have changed dramatically, but given all the extra meals I must have put some on.
I have no regrets - I'm glad I had some extras. I'm glad to have joined in all the family fun. I'm equally glad to be going strictly back on plan.
I want to see that size 16 number up on my blog and I know I have a way to go - but I will get there.
Starting tomorrow
