Well, that wasn't the best example of determination. I got back from Corfu a week ago, having made a snap decision to go there with friends. For the first day I was careful what I ate and then I started to feel like such a party pooper that I gave up watching.
It wasn't the meals that were the problem mind you, nor was it breakfast, where I ate yoghurt and dry toast as I might at home (Greek yoghurt, of course, in this case), but the snacks. Pam produced crisps, nuts and so on with drinks and often we finished the evening with halva or chocolate. When I arrived home and weighed myself, I'd put on four pounds.
I weighed myself again this morning and I've lost two of them and that's without trying very hard. Once you get used to grazing, you don't want to stop. But if I have had any nibbles, they have been olives or cheese - and that's interesting, because they're high in fat and so are crisps. But I gained weight on crisps and lost it on cheese (not that I was eating it daily). And I've been unable to resist my Indian Soan Papdi.
A couple more weeks at most and I hope that I'll be back on track again.
