Whilst I was in Mexico, I ate lots of food. Enough food to put on a few kilos! Although thanks to the heat, a little bit of exercise and cutting down on portion sizes, I managed to lose weight!
In Mexico, I stayed in an all inclusive hotel - which meant unlimited food all day! It actually is a recipe for weight gain (no pun intended)
Holidays are about having fun though, which is why I decided to eat, drink and be merry. I did set myself a limit, because gaining weight will definitely not improve my mood!
Here are some photos of some fab foods I tried during my Mexico:
 |
| Mocktails! I limited it to one a day! They are full of sugar and lots of calories! |
 |
| I tried to make sure that half of my plate was full of salad - the rest full of 'real food' |
 |
| I made sure to drink plenty of water. Did you know, that your body cannot tell the difference between hunger and thirst? If you think you are hungry, simply drink a glass of water! |
 |
| Desserts - I am a sucker for them. I did end up only eating fruits in the last week of the holiday though! |
 |
| Some of the food in the market |
 |
| Exotic fruit - tastes delicious (sorry, forgot the name) |
 |
| This is what it looks like inside :) |
 |
| Mexican food - refried beans, rice, fajitas - yum :) |
 |
| Fruit covered in syrup |
 |
| Vegetarian sushi - delicious! |
 |
| Vegetables with tofu |
 |
| Fried rice - DELICIOUS! |
 |
| Mixed vegetables |
 |
| Our very own Japanese chef! |
 |
| Cooked pineapple |
 |
| Cooked banana with vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce |
 |
| The beautiful Italian restaurant in our resort |
 |
| I tried to eat lots of vegetables during the meal |
 |
| Vegetable lasagne |
 |
| Yummy pizza - I could only muster 1 slice! I tried to leave a bit out - just because you have food on your plate, it doesn't mean that you have to eat it ALL! |
 |
| Tiramisu |
 |
| Ice cream |
Can you control yourself whilst you are on holiday?
Omg.. my mouth is watering! You have amazing self-control!
