Hi all,
I'm going away for 5 days from tomorrow (back Wed morning), and I'm already getting worried about the poor food choices that I'll be faced with.
The people we're staying with (2 separate sets of friends and family) have all lined up feasts - Friday night we're going for sit down chinese, Saturday night our hosts are cooking (we've been told in advance it will be homemade spag bol and cheesy garlic bread followed by chocolate brownies and ice cream); Sunday night we're going to an all-you-can-eat Indian buffet, Monday night we're going to a mexican restaurant that is renowned for its massive portion sizes, and Tuesday night is probably going to be another indian or italian blow-out.
Both sets of hosts are quite heavy social drinkers, and there will be much imbibing of wine, lager and gin...and little if any opportunity to exercise. I can probably get away with eating my usual breakfast if I take a box of cereal with me, and I'll try to have healthy lunches, but I know from past experience that if I start to slide I tend to think 'what the ****!' and just lose all control completely.
I'm a slave to routine and a huge control freak, and any change to my routine scares the **** out of me. I know I'll feel rudderless and adrift without my usual routine and my usual meal plans....and that's not a happy thought for me.
I don't want to come back on Wednesday half a stone heavier (which is easily possible given that I can gain weight for England)...but I don't want to be a party pooper either.
HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Any suggestions, anyone?
Janey
