Welcome back, Stephanie!!!
Sounds like it was a wonderful wedding and the ladies look simply gorgeous!
There's no need to feel guilty about slipping a bit when traveling outside the U.S..
It can be a major challenge. But you did great under the circumstances.
If you did not know what you've learned from FTS, you might have gained 10 or more pounds.
Somewhere in your life's journey, you're very likely to be challenged again.
What's important is that regardless of what happens, you know what to do to get back on track.
And as long as you get back on track ASAP, you'll avoid getting FAT!
A word about alcohol... It elevates triglycerides in the blood.
The more you drink, the more elevated they'll become.
The body will "feed" on triglycerides before it resorts to using its own fat stores.
When you combine that with eating more carbs than you should, weight gain is almost inevitable.
Just so you know what to expect, (my doctor told me) it takes the body 3 full days after we stop drinking to completely metabolize them.
During this time,
weight loss is not likely to resume.
Knowledge is power!
You're gonna do great, Stephanie!
