Just thought I'd post a little update on whats been happening with me.

I managed to get down to 18st10 the day before we left for our overnight stop in Gatwick before flying out to Orlando, the day we flew into Gatwick my diet stopped. I had all sorts of crap to eat just whilst in London for the day. We landed in Gatwick at 12pm and headed in to Crawley for lunch and to watch the Inbetweeners movie. I had a Subway foot long for lunch, which was amazing, we don't have a Subway or any other fast food chain in Guernsey for that matter! I then had some Ben&Jerrys ice cream in the cinema and popcorn. In the evening we went to the M&S in Gatwick arrivals and had a sandwich meal deal with a chocolate mousse thing, a generally woeful day for my calorie intake, but hey I was on holiday! Woke up the morning of our flight to Orlando and had a McDonalds breakfast in the morning which was a real treat, as I said earlier, no fast food in Guernsey!
The whole time in Florida my calorie consumption was off the chain, everything is so much bigger, greasier and cheaper in the good ol' US of A! I was having huge burgers, huge pizzas, huge steaks or TexMex style food every day of the holiday, of course most of it was served with fries too! I was having calorie filled and sugar laden drinks to wash all this down, as well as a beer or two most nights in the hotel room. After two weeks of eating like this I started to feel fat again, not as in bigger but my energy levels depleted, I found it difficult to get up in the mornings, started getting spots and just felt generally uncomfortable in my own skin.
When I arrived back in Guernsey the first thing I did was jump on the scales to find out how much of a set back I had had and was shocked to have
put on a full stone in 16 nights worth of holiday, almost a full pound a day or around a 3500kcal overeat per day, bear in mind it was an active holiday too with hours of walking per day and swimming for a few hours every other day too! That night was the last of my holiday so I topped it all off with a nice big chinese take away, something we hadn't had locally for months.
I got back on the diet this Wednesday and am quite shocked at how quickly that stone has dropped off, well almost all of it, this evening on the scales I weighed 18st13, only 3lb more than I left Guernsey at or 11lbs lighter than I did on Tuesday evening. I've no idea why I retained so much weight over the holiday or why it dropped off so quickly after that, what I do know though is that I'm so pleased I've only added 3lbs over two weeks of USA fast food style eating, and I also had a brief reminder of how nutritionally crap food had been making me feel for the past 7 years.
Really well done. I do hope that the PCT will cover it, given how much you have helped yourself. You've easily saved them enough from not having to treat you for weight related problems to cover the cost of this!
Cookie doesnt fit as well anymore.
