How long until your holiday?

Stay hydrated and try for a big poo?! 5lbs is minimal and I'm 99% sure you won't even be able to see it on you.

I go next Friday - it is definitely noticeable as I was already needing to lose a stone and a half

Cut yourself some slack and don't fret. Anything goes on hols really and as long as your stuff fits ok no one but you will notice or care, they are too busy fretting/looking at themselves!

Anyway if you are anything like me, I enjoy eating new things (and BAD things) when away so on day two I'm blubber again.

Enjoy the hols and work at it when you're back, it's not much anyway.

I’m supposed to be going away in September with my boyfriend and our 6 month old little boy also with my boyfriends mum and dad. Obviously I’ve gained a little weight after my pregnancy which I am very insecure about. Last night I was speaking about not being able to find a bikini due to my boobs still bigger from pregnancy. My boyfriends dad then made a comment saying they aren’t the only things that have got bigger meaning I’ve put weight on. Which I know I have but having someone say it hurt so much. I’ve been so upset about it and now I don’t know if I want to go on holiday I will just feel so uncomfortable walking round knowing he thinks that I know I shouldn’t care what he thinks but as I’m already so insecure about my weight as it is it has really put me off going.

As soon as I step off the plane my body swells. My rings don't fit and my shoes are tight. It's annoying but not worth stressing over, especially when I'm about to consume eleventy billion calories on pina coladas!
Just enjoy!

Little you can do re weight now. Eat lightly and lots of water.

My advice would be to Pop out and make sure you have clothes that fit you, or even a bit loose. Even if it's bigger sizes from primark or supermarkets, you'll feel tons better than squeezing yourself into last years too small stuff.
