Keeping it in perspective...

When I first started ww again my hubby said something to me which has sort of stuck. Now when I tell you what he said it doesn't sound very supportive or helpful but actually it hit home.

I had gone over my points by eating something really blooming nice, can't for the life of me remember what it was but I was having a moan and a panic about it, as you do, and hubby turned round and said if you are going to be obsessive like this every time you you eat something nice you may as well stop going now.

I was a bit bloody shocked when he said it but actually he is right. When I am bad now, like last week, instead of getting too upset and obsessing about what I have done wrong I just think oh well, had a nice time, enjoyed it so now time to carry on! Oh you probably think I am sooo smug and self-righteous but I am just so happy that this time around I am getting it right.

In the past a blip has turned into a complete failure and one week of being too scared of going to the scales because of a holiday has turned into never going back to meetings. I mean come on, how ridiculous is that? Who am I scared of? My leader certainly wouldn't be bothered about a blip after a holiday? Maybe I am scared of showing lack of self control? Who knows...

This time I am determined not to fail but I am only human and can't do this perfectly with no gains at all...who can? I bet even bloody Kate Moss gains a pound or two on holiday!

Well this weekend I am going camping, last time I went I put 1lb on. Well I am going to put it into perspective...so I can read this when I get back... even if I gain a couple of pounds I will still have lost about 2 stone... even if I gain a couple of pounds its not nearly as much as I would gain if I wasn't doing ww and keeping some control... even if I gain 2lbs it will only take a couple of weeks to lose it again....

So I am looking forward to camping, looking forward to being nominated driver so I can keep some control, looking forward to picnics and meals out and looking forward to that cooked breakfast!!! and when I get back I hope my scales don't hide from me!
