"Nic is reassured: her toes are still within touching distance!"
That's the problem with those pesky holidays spent away from your modern-day weight-loss torture devices; the chances of being able to carry on where you left off after a couple of weeks spent in the bosom of your cooking and baking family back home become slimmer, for want of a kinder word, with every passing mealtime.
Now, I am not one for excluding things from my diet for the sake of short-term goals - I am in this for the long haul and because of this am a big believer of moderation in all things - but when faced with a mother's home-made meals and famous short-bread, a sister's propensity to create delicious hand-made sweetie delights, and a brother who has an uncanny knack in finding three-for-two boxes of chocolates almost everywhere he goes, even the most liberal of lifestyle changers may need to take a time out.
There are a few extra pounds to work off, now I'm back in the safe arm-extenders of my Wii and have stepped on my only-judgemental-if-you-lean-too-far-one-way-or-the-other balance board, but they were totally worth it. For this change is for life, and I jolly well mean to enjoy it, Christmas cake and all!
