I'm coming up to a dangerous time, and I've got to keep my wits about me. First we've got friends staying with us for the weekend (who are big eaters and even bigger boozers), then there's K's sister's wedding on August 4th, and then two weeks later we're camping in Cornwall for a week, with the same friends who are visiting at the moment - it would be just the easiest thing in the world to just fall off the wagon and never get back on again.
I'm patently a gal that likes her routines - when I can plan and know what to expect of every day, when I can predict what I can eat (and when and where), when I can ringfence time for exercising, then I'm fine. But throw a dash of unpredictability in to the mix and I just go to pot and everything falls to pieces.
I'm just hoping that forewarned is forearmed, and that if I anticipate problems I can start to head them off early before they kick my arse.
I can get through this, right?
How hard can it be to make sensible choices in restaurants, to exercise moderation in drinking, to not allow the presence of guests to sanction a slide into gluttony and self-indulgence?
Hell, it can't be that bloody difficult, surely?
And if you\'re not quite as perfect as you\'d hoped, just pick yourself up and get back with it. We\'re not going to let you fall off the wagon permanently now!
But don\'t forget you don\'t have to be perfect. Do what you can. If eating sucks, at least try to drink lots of water - and remember, you don\'t have to wait til tomorrow, or Monday, or whenever to get back on the wagon, you can do it any moment, at any meal.
Also take some time to exercise, even just walking. It will clear your head and heart, as well as giving you a food-free zone.
good luck! no matter what happens, COME BACK!
