What I ate on my sea side holiday….
… and why it doesn’t matter.
A couple weeks ago I went on holiday in Devon. The coast was beautiful and the little town mesmerising, but the food, the food was insane.
At first I felt the need to still write in my food diary, worry about when I was having my meals and imagine myself being bloated because I was going to have gluten or because I was going to try new things.
The reality is, non of that mattered. I was on holiday enjoying time with the people I love. I didn’t have to think about eating super healthy or try to have a 3-4 hour fast in between my meals. I needed to just relax, de-stress and eat what felt right at the time.
I’m not trying to glamorise holiday eating. But I think that we shouldn’t have any shame if we’re going to take a couple days to eat food that might not be in our usual scope. That’s fine.
When you’re back from holiday you can always get back to eating normal (80/20 rule 😉).
So on your next holiday.. enjoy the food, grab that ice cream, allow yourself the freedom to try new things. Your body will thank you for it.
