Holidays don't have to spell disaster!

Before I went away, I joined a cheaper DietBet.  I didn't want to join an expensive one as I was worried that going on holiday, I wouldn't meet my goal but at the same time, I still wanted to challenge myself. I returned last night from a two week holiday in Thailand. When I go away usually, the minimum I've ever gained is 14lb.  Often much more.  I tend to be a bit of a pig on holiday.  I eat all the pizza I want, icecreams and soft drinks every day and no regard at all for my weight. This time was different.  I went away determined to stick to my diet.  In Thailand, while all the portions are small in size, everything, and I mean everything, is fried!  I did my best by choosing the best options available.  I didn't eat that many snacks and only had 3 sorbets the entire holiday. I got back on the scales this morning and I've had a ONE pound gain.  Yes, you read that right - only one pound! I'm so bloody proud of...

I WON!!!

My first DietBet completed on the 3rd February 2019. I also won the first stage of my 6 month DietBet which ends in June.  So I'm delighted. I love a financial incentive.  I do not like losing! I signed up to a cheaper one for February since I will be away for 2 weeks of it and I know I'll find it hard not to have a large gain, but that said, I'm still pretty determined, so we will see!
