This is incredible for me, definitely a big achievement.
Normally, I gain weight on vacation. Because I'm eating out most of the time, AND I don't have access to a bathroom or kitchen scale. And it's just hard to stay mentally on track while I'm away enjoying myself.
I've been on vacation for the past week, visiting friends and family.
My parents cooked a few meals, but I ate out a few times. I've been out with friends, visited my grandparents who always have sugary treats on offer, and I even attended a wedding with a buffet while I was away.
Before I went away I was 144.4lbs. I got home last night, stepped on the scale this morning and I am 143.8lbs!
It's only a 0.6lb loss but I am THRILLED!
Normally, I'd gain several pounds on a week long vacation. Some of that would be water weight, but after the water came off I'd find I had gained at least a pound of fat.
This time, I was hoping I'd be able to maintain my weight and wasn't expecting a loss at all. I just tried to make sensible choices, and try to limit snacks wherever possible.
For example I only had 1 cookie from the big plate my grandparents offered around, when usually I'd have several. At the wedding buffet, I made myself a plate with some treats and some veggies, and only had that one plate rather than going back for more and more.
This has now spurred me on for the rest of my weight loss journey!
