[QUOTE="John J, post: 113783, member: 22542"] I've just been away for about a fortnight and have indulged myself a little. Not too badly though and I only seem to have put on about 3lbs which I'm sure I'll lose in a couple of days (then resume my diet to reach my target weight..about 12 stone). Considering I've lost about 3 stone so far, I'm not too worried. However, although I tried to be generally good, it struck home just how difficult it is to find a menu which offers completely healthy options. There's always something to "spoil" even the most straight forward of dishes especially with regrad to desserts. Mind you, I wasn't as strict with myself as usual but I don't think I've done myself much harm in the short term athough there may have been the dreaded "spikes". Again, I still avoided the very obvious "no nos" although I has some Christmas cake, a piece of tablet, ice cream, and more potatoes/bread, and alcohol than normal over the fortnight. I also found that if you "negotiated with the staff in some restaurants, they would give you more vegetables etc although some adopted the "Computer says No" approach.. :wink: [/QUOTE]
