Back home from Tenerife :oops:

The weather was just gorgeous! 35* one day!

Hotel fabulous, suite with plunge pool......stunning views.....oh yes and all that.......FOOD!!! 88|

Champagne on arrival,fresh fruit and chocolates in our room,5 restaurants, nuts and bar snacks on every table, endless ice cream places |-| goodness me! what else do folk go on holiday for apart from to munch :??:

I did myself proud :yes:

A little tricky explaining to the maξtre d' what was required regarding my shakes and soups (next time will write it down in whatever language is appropriate before I go!)
Apart from the usual internal struggles that were going on in my pea brain....I found that not only could I stick to the plan 100%, but had to push myself to get the foodpacks down atall :oops:

We walked loads,saw loads,swam loads and sunbathed loads :D

I had no worries about my bikini...and was THRILLED to wear my size 10 jeans! :>> :>> :>>

Hubby told me I looked in his words 'stunning' one evening (that's amazing as he is a man of very few words usually)and I felt 10 feet tall B)

My confidence was back and I realised it is not how other people see me..it's how I feel inside :yes: and I was feeling great!
Even had photo taken!!!!!!!!!! BIG achievement

Back down to earth yesterday with the rain and the grey skies :|

Popped in to get my foodpacks for the week as I had missed my group on Tuesday, K insisted I was weighed (meanie :>) and I am another 2 and a half pounds down so total loss so far is :lalala: 2 stones and 2 pounds :lalala:

I was a wee bit worried that I may have stayed the same as my water intake was only about 3 litres daily (just got fed up with it for a bit ....'twas my version of a very small scale rebellion B) )

Hubby's 40th birthday yesterday also and we had a party for him in the evening (more food and drink mountains! ;) )

Yet again I drank only water and not a morsel passed my lips :D

Day 79 today :!: already into week 12

Am off to go replace my work trousers with size 10's and banish the 12's and 14's to the rubbish bin forever :p

One more social challenge this weekend. We are off to see my sister and her family in B'ham, but out of everyone she is the most supportive and will hopefully not try to feed me ;)
