I’m back from my holiday, and I can’t even begin to explain how amazing it was. On our second night in Vegas we decided to get married (been together 8 years) and then 48 hours later, we were. I wore a 50′s dress and felt great. It was brilliant to avoid the whole “diet for the wedding dress” thing and I actually ate a huge veggie burger an hour before trying it on. And getting a flattering dress from a shop which celebrates the hourglass figure was perfect. Just perfect. I’m so happy. I wanted to be married for so long, now I am and it’s just awesome.
I could write about that for hours, but I won’t!
Holiday involved the usual indulgences and I’ve both lost sight of IE, and I find myself wondering about diets. I can feel myself getting sucked towards weightwatchers (my friend is doing it and I found myself being way too interested in what she was telling me) and myfitnesspal, and it’s no good. I refuse to take a backwards step. Even just not going back to dieting will be a forward step! So now normality is starting up again, I am determined to focus on myself. My health and wellbeing, and my relationship with food. Unfortunately I have a cough which is stopping me exercising, which has an effect on how I feel in myself, but I am really looking forward to getting back to the gym and walking.
Plan! Tomorrow I’ll listen to IE in the car, on the way to and from work. And once I’ve finished my current book, I will start either women food and god, or IE. I have made lovely lunch for tomorrow (non-wheat pasta, red pesto, asparagus, tofu, cherry toms) so I’m not struggling at lunchtime to see what I want, and I’ve made brekki (overnight oats with chia seeds and blooblies), so I am looking forward to a day of good food! I had a mini-binge last night (I call 2 bars of chocolate mini, comparitively speaking) so I am eager to get back in to sorting my head out about food.
Life feels SO GOOD right now that this is the only thing I have to work on and improve. I’m worth it and I deserve to spend the time on myself.
