Birthdays and Romance!

February was always going to be a tricky month for me. I said it at the end of last months round up. In the space of a couple of days our family celebrates 3 birthdays and valentines day. It was always going to be a tough week to manage.
This year my youngest daughter turned 3 years old. Honestly doesn't feel like that long ago but it really was.
To mark this occasion me and Molly recreated one of the first photos of us together..

February 2012 vs February 2015

We celebrated her birthday with a Jake and the Neverland Pirates birthday cake and a trip to McDonalds where I indulged in a large burger meal. I enjoyed every illicit mouthful if I am completely honest.
On the Saturday it was Valentines day and for the first time in mine and my husbands almost 10 year relationship we was actually going out to celebrate on Valentines itself.
We went out for a 3 course Indian meal and a trip to the cinema. The meal was fantastic and we both left very full!

On the Sunday we also went out to celebrate the other two family birthdays...It was a weekend of eating out thats for sure!

Needless to say when Wednesday came around I knew I would have gained and I did. I gained 3.5lbs but do you know what? I was completely okay with that. I was happy it wasn't more as I felt after all I ate I deserved more of a gain.
I was okay with it because it was deserved and I had, had fun! I also looked and felt amazing when I went out for a romantic meal with my husband. I didn't feel like all eyes were on the hideous fat beast stuffing her face. I felt comfy in the clothes I wore too!
I also knew that by weighing in I was drawing a line and would get back into the saddle.
