Hi everybody! So i'm now back off my holidays, and things went really really
well. I'm really really happy. Lost three pounds
even when I was away, which I was not expecting to do at all!
Definitely thought that I was going to put on.
I think sometimes, you know, as I said last time
when you're on a holiday, you know, sometimes you may go a bit excessive.
Obviously with the band it's quite hard to do that, but I was struggling you know
maybe not necessarily eating too much, but eating things that probably shouldn't
and you know, not the most healthiest of options, but you know it didn't
really happen. I think the heat, for one, didn't make me want to eat
as I normally would do and yeah it's just been fine. Again, I found myself
heading towards more cold things so I've been having a lot of salads and you
know, fruit in the morning, smoothies, water. I've not really had
that much you know, fizzy drinks. Normally back at home even, you know, post
op, I was drinking a lot of diet coke because obviously it was zero cal.
I had a few when I was over there, but for me really it was just really water and
juice that I was having so I think it's all gone well, and obviously combined with the
fact that, you know, I was in and out the pool with the kids and, you know, in the sea
I think you know that the exercise there as well combined with everything
else as others had really good effects, so I'm really really happy!
In regards to
you know, like activities - swimming, going in the pool, and beach et cetera
I've actually noticed a massive, massive difference compared to the last family holiday that
we went on with children. Obviously, previously
I wasn't limited to what I could do, but there were certain things that I didn't
really feel comfortable doing, or that you know I would play with then but I was
tired and this time it's just completely different. It's amazing it's such a
it's such a difference and to actually feel it, it's weird I actually felt
different when I was there as well.
Last time again, obviously we went
I always had to cover-up on, I think I mentioned it last time
I didn't really bother this time, I was quite happy in my costume and for me and
I'm sure for everybody else you know male or female, when you are in that situation
whether you are at the beach, at the pool, at the gym you know, and there's kind of a
certain attire that you have to wear, it can be quite daunting and
previously I have always had a cover up on and you know, a sarong, even you
know covering my arms up. But this time I just thought you know what I don't
actually care! I'm quite happy with myself at the minute. Because to be
fair, you know, how I am now it's been a very long time since I've been on
holiday and even obviously I'm nowhere near where I want to be, but it's been a
long time since I've been happy with you know, happy with myself so yeah I
just I didn't bother and even at night as well, again previously I would wear
cover-ups you know, for my arms and I've just not done it you know, I've gone and
I've had my sleeveless dresses on, and yeah I felt really really comfortable
and I think that shows as well really how much, kind of stuff you have going
through your head when you are in that position, because I wasn't in previously
thinking about 'Oh we'll go out for a nice meal tonight' or 'We'll go out and
watch this show tonight' or I was always thinking like 'If we're going here, I need to
make sure this is covered up, or that is covered up. What what can I wear? Does this
go with that, does that go with that? and it ruins it, it ruins the experience
whereas this time it was literally, 'Alright let's go down and watch the show tonight'
Dress on. Gone. There was no messing around with it
and it's such a weight off your shoulders as well to even get to that point. It's just
brilliant so I've had an absolutely fantastic time. I would still say
that I do need another fill, but I think I'm getting very close now. I do
think I'm getting very close. So that will be my next job to be booked in
for fill number.. three? Yes fill number three it will be. So yeah it's really
exciting times and I definitely you know say to anybody
it's kind of mind over matter. If that makes sense you know. As I said just
looking back at the difference in between how i've been on this holiday and other
holidays it's amazing and obviously yeah a lot of it's down to me and my
mindset. I wouldn't be even in this place if it wasn't for having the band so again
it just makes me realize how actually lucky I am to be able to do this
because a lot of people don't get the chance to. So I'm really really going to
make the most of mine and you know I'm really excited to see where we are at
this time next year for the summer holidays! Hopefully i'll be at my goal
dress size - not weight and yeah we'll see what attire I shall
be in then. But that's it for me for this week, I shall speak to you all again soon
and that's it for me! Bye.
